Oh thank you so much for the info. I had a look at the website and the brushes and combs do look good.
I am going out to look tomorrow. The vet practice's here keep a lot of accessories and most vets also have an outlet shop in shopping centers so I can look in those. They are well stocked. My husband went out yesterday and bought a shampoo called 'Purl' de -tangling (not sure if I already mentioned that.) It was so lovely & soft with an almost silky feel. Although she smelt good and looked better I could get some knots out but a lot stayed in.
My sister recommended a 'Slicker' brush..have you heard of them?
Once again thank you so much xxx
