I have a couple of the Chris Christiansen slicker brushes (a small one and a medium one) They seem to work well for the dogs - Meau will get small mats and the CC slickers get them out pretty easily. I've yet to find a mat on Lucy, but I brush and comb her pretty frequently, so I don't think they've had a chance to form... I use the small CC slicker on Lucy because she's still a baby and even her big areas of coat aren't very big!
I'm pretty careful when I use any slicker brush and, although I make sure I can SEE the skin, I try very hard not to SCRAPE the skin with the brush - I just lift the hair when I brush (if that makes any sense...) I lift the hair away from the skin so the slicker brush can go through the hair but doesn't really touch the sensitive skin... :wacko: I know... I'm confusing!!!
