WOW! Lots of different view points here. I use the slicker brush since I had been told by 3 different groomers to use it. I don't push down hard when brushing them because I don't want to scratch their skin. My yorkies seem fine with it. I've had great success in getting out tangles using one. I bought a stainless steel comb today and will try it out tonight.
Also, the pin brushed with the balls ARE bad because I broke off a lot of hair with it before I got smart.
But with the slicker, like I said, I was never told differently and this is the first that I'm hearing of it. Not that anyone is wrong just that it's new to me. |
