Does your pet/s like to be brushed?

Digger loves to be brushed. He could be brushed all day!

Chubby likes to be brushed also. Not quite as much as Digger, but you can tell that he enjoys it.

Otis doesn't mind it. He does thoroughly enjoy it, but it isn't his least favorite thing.

Prince hates being brushed. I am sure it is a little more rough, since he has a longer coat and all. He hates being brushed, and he hates baths.

Kai doesn't love brushing per se but he would tolerate me brushing him for hours if I had to. Same with Kaedyn.

I think Huey likes it alright. The problem is he always rolls over onto his back or side after awhile, then you can't really reach much hair.

We use a curry comb (I think its called) it looks kind of like a saw blade. When we first got it he was absolutely terrified of it before we even touched him with it. He wouldn't come anywhere near if he saw it. Then one day we secretly brushed him with it (switched with a regular brush when he wasn't looking) and he did just fine... until he saw it! Then he ran across the room and wouldn't come back. Now he is fine with it.

I think you are talking about the shedding blade. :)

Fister loves to be brushed, in fact, he's calling me to come and do it every afternoon! :D

The only pet that I have that REALLY LOVES to be brushed is Trevor. The dogs have to submit for extensive grooming once a month and touch-ups now and then so when they see the grooming tools come out they sort of do this :rolleyes: and Andy will only put up with a short session. Trevor on the other hand meows and rubs himself all over my legs and just goes crazy with anticipation. Once I start he doesn't want it to end and just purrs and does a crazy "elevator butt" when I do the area above his tail! :p :D

Molly doesn't mind it when I use the 'regular' dog brush on her for finishing touches, but she hates the undercoat rake.

Daisy tolerates everything. If I use the 'regular' dog brush, she rolls over and wants me to brush her tummy. :D

Simba and Nala LOVE it.

I only brush them after each weekly bath, mostly for their enjoyment.

Nala loves her neck brushed... she'll extend it if i'm anywhere near it with the brush.

Same with Prince. He hates when I am trying to get mats or any snarls out, but he doesn't mind it too much when I just brush him with the pin bristle brush.

Wicket (my Lhasa) HATES being brushed, he's got a nasty temper. I can't groom him myself, he tries to bite me every time. On the other hand, Waffles (American Eskie) doesn't seem to mind it. Hopefully that doesn't change with Wicket being around to show her how to be naughty!:p
In fact, I just had them groomed today...looking good!

Both Emily and Clipse love it.
I don't brush them much at home anymore though. I just don't feel like it after brushing dogs all day. But when I do take out my grooming bag they will both run over and lie down in front of me waiting for their turn. They both just fall asleep while I brush them.

Reggie and Sydney HATE it! They cry if I even just touch their legs with a soft slicker brush. :rolleyes:

Nebo doesn't mind the slicker brush, he actually kinda likes being brushed with that. He doesn't mind the undercoat rake too much. He's actually really good about being brushed except around his hindquarters and tail, he doesn't really enjoy having those parts brushed. He's not bad about it, just cries sometimes.

Sonny loves it! Sonny must have a soft brush to brush himself at the same time I use the slicker on him. If he doesn't have a soft brush he will rub against the slicker brush with his face until the corners of his mouth bleed. Autumn loves the attention. She thinks she's a diva in a dressing room because I always tell her how pretty she will be if she will just sit still through this snarl! She usually falls asleep while I brush her even if she is standing up because she is so relaxed. Pepper doesn't mind being brushed if I do it, but if my mom tries Pepper thinks she's going to end up getting a haircut so she runs and hides.

Tia doesn't mind it, I don't really brush her though I just use one of those hound glove things for her. Tango LOVES to be brushed though, she get's so excited when she sees me getting it out.

Both of mine tolerate it. Katie seems to like it better than Tori. Sometimes Tori can be skittish about it.

Moku can't be brushed, but I think he looks rather nice with a tuft of troll-like hair.

most of them tolerate being brushed but Happy hates it, its one of the reasons i keep her hair cut short, so i dont have to brush her every other day, instead just once a week or so, and just cut her hair every month. Blaie loves being brushed lol but only because he was trained from an early age that brush = food lol

Oggy & Flute love to be brushed. We get out the brush and they push each other to get in position first.:D

NiƱo's looks like the rubber one except it has hard bristles. (Is that what you would call them there?)
He loves to be brushed.:) :)

Blaze really doesn't like being brushed...I guess since we didn't groom him a whole lot as a puppy, he's not used to it.:)

Crayola (golden retriever) loves it!! he sometimes would call me.. *runs to the cabinet where I keep all brushes* *bumps his nose to it then goes on the carpet (that was in kitchen) flips on his back, hanging his paws out in air* he's too cute for me not to say "no dear, not now...." - *waggs, wags, waggs, wags* til I finish... sometimes I brush him for no reason! :D
