| What comb/brush for a Pommie? My Pommie, Snowboy, has such a thick undercoat that he is miserable when I comb him with a wide-toothed comb. I comb him every night but he rolls around with Chipper so much that he gets tangled. Was wondering what if there is any comb/brush out there that would make things easier for Snowboy? Thank you.

| I've never had a pom but I've had Old English Sheepdogs & their hair is very, very thick, fine & fluffy. Having seen lots of Poms at the shows I would think it's similar to deal with. I found the best thing was a brush. Not a regular dog brush but a bristle human brush, one with a rubber pad that the bristles come out of. I use a Kent or a Mason Pearson. |

| Thank you. They are a mite expensive, aye? I guess quality is worth the price.

| I use a slicker and pin brush regularly on my Pom. He usually only gets mats behind his ear and neck area, once in a great while his behind area. After spraying with detangler I use a small narrow toothed comb to ultimately get the mats out. Sometimes cutting into the mat with the side of the slicker brush helps break it up. Always mist the coat before brushing. The slicker brush gets at the undercoat. Look at Pom books or do a google search for Pom grooming. Oh btw I got my pink slicker brush at Target for under $5.
