“Buy it for the soft brush side, expect the pin side to fail. Sammy tolerates it without fuss, which is the main test. At this price, it's worth the replacement cycle.”

When it comes to keeping your Yorkie's coat in top condition, having a versatile brush that handles multiple grooming tasks is a game-changer. The Hartz Groomer's Best Combo Brush features two sides - bristles for smoothing and distributing natural oils, plus pins for detangling - giving you everything you need in one tool. Yorkshire Terriers have that gorgeous silky coat that requires consistent care to prevent matting and maintain its signature shine. This brush works wonderfully for daily maintenance grooming, helping remove loose hair and debris while stimulating the skin for healthy coat growth.

While designed for dogs of various sizes, the bristle side is gentle enough for your Yorkie's delicate 4-7 lb frame and fine hair texture. From Hartz, a trusted name in pet care for decades, this brush offers reliable quality at an accessible price point. Keep your Yorkie looking show-ring ready with regular brushing sessions.

What owners say

From the reviews.

Customers rate this brush highly (4.5 stars across 23,786 reviews), and most praise its effectiveness and gentle touch. The soft side works well on sensitive dogs and achieves good fluffiness. Value for money is strong. However, durability is the wrench in the works: about two-thirds of durability feedback is negative, with the pin side particularly prone to separating or losing bristles early on. Ease of cleaning also splits opinion, though less sharply.

Customer questions

Things people ask.

Q01. Will the metal pin side last more than a few weeks? +

Mixed. 150 of 229 durability mentions are negative, with customers reporting pins falling out on first use or the pin side separating within days to weeks. Some owners report it lasting longer, but failure is common enough that you should expect possible breakage.

Q02. How hard is it to clean hair out of the soft brush side? +

Difficult for many. 47 of 90 ease-of-cleaning mentions flag hair removal as a struggle, especially from the soft bristles. A few users report it's manageable, but most find you need time or tools to clear it fully.

Q03. Is this brush gentle enough for sensitive or anxious dogs? +

Yes. 85 of 93 brushing theme mentions are positive, and multiple reviews from owners of nervous dogs (Maltipoo, Aussiedoodle) confirm the soft side is tolerable and even relaxing for dogs who hate brushing.

Q04. Does it work on curly or doodle coats? +

Yes. Reviews specifically mention it working well on Golden Doodles, Aussiedoodles, Maltipoos, and Yorkiepoos. The soft side brushes out tangles and the pin side reaches the undercoat, though curly-coat owners note the pin side durability issues.

Q05. At what price point is this a good value? +

At £7–8, reviewers consistently call it a steal. 80 of 93 value-for-money mentions are positive, with comparisons showing it costs half the price of competitor brushes while delivering similar performance — though durability questions may offset the savings over time.
