Tangle Teezer - Dramatically reduce hair breakage, splitting, and damage due to mistreatment of your hair Try this it is a great brush and if your dog hates getting brushed it is brilliant . I use this on my 2 and Alfie hated getting brushed but because this is so easy going through and getting the mats out he does not mind it at all. It is a british product but I think you may be able to source them on e-bay in the U.S. Good luck.
