I use the same brush and purchased from her too. I also purchased a comb. I never thought I would use it as much as I do. Prices are also very reasonable and with super fast shipping.

| I find a slicker brush and a steel comb work best for me- nothing else has been able to get knots out. I always spray mine with a leave in conditioning spray before I start brushing them.

I use the Yorkie Sheen before I brush Rosie. It helps with the knots and it smells really good!

| I use a pinbrush, a pig hair brush and a steel comb. Just go to the nearest pet store and buy a comb I use the brushes so little, they just go past the matt, they dont ''fix it'', but the comb goes through the matt and solves it. Just go to the nearest store, and buy a comb, either plastic or steel Plastic is OK too, but I prefer steel for my yorkie.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I really don't think slicker brushes were made for a yorkie's coat, they are made to rip out the undercoat of a dog with fur, and could scratch a dog with a single hair type of coat. CC makes a wooden pin brush, that many say works with with knots.

| I've tried them all, even ones others swear by and they do nothing for the knots. I work out each knot with the slicker then spray them and finish with the steel comb and now their coats are great and Matt free.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Wood pin brush For metal pin brushes I prefer the Chris Christensen brushes over the Madan brushes but I know many do like the Madan's. The difference for me is the pins on the brushes, the CC brush pins aren't as stiff it seems. My favorite brush though is a wood pin brush. CC makes them but I've also found human hair wood pin brushes that work just as well and can usually find them for slightly less than CC brushes.
