Also, if your metal comb has long teeth on it be extra careful when combing out the hair. I tend to grab the base of the matt and slowly work it with the comb but Ziggy has very loose skin and sometimes I have "nipped" him with the comb (bad mommy!)
Don't feel bad about missing the matts; a year ago I was in exactly the same situation as you are thinking the daily brushing was doing the job. I felt terrible when I saw all the matts so close to his skin. Live and learn. One day you'll be the one giving advice to someone in the same boat.
