    Very hard things to get, they have become over complicated affairs, need a good old fashioned one myself.
    I do Contracts, all day every day.

    B&M do a slicker brush for 99p or £1.99 (certainly cheap). It has a retractable base, so hair is easy to remove and is great for getting long hair off the hearthrug or cleaning another brush, too.


    My 'better' slicker is a purple 'rubber' covered one from Tesco and that is easy to hold besides costing only about £4.99.

    3 combs in my case, as I am always misplacing them.

    Bit bigger, but my longcoated GSD has a thick coat and I find a Tangle Teaser (for people) better than the many dog brushes I've tried

    Try Mikki Rake like this one:

    They do varieties for different sizes and different types of coat - absolutely brilliant

    I have a 13 month old Shih Tzu & her under coat is very thick. She gets knotty desoite grooming regularly. After a lot of research I went for a Furminator. They are on the expensive side but check Amazon. It's brilliant, it takes the loose undercoat away and deals with knots in seconds. It's made grooming so much easier.

    For my GSDs I use a combination of a rake like gettingready linked to and a retractable slicker brush. I don't need anything for tangles though mine are just for general grooming and for when they are moulting (new girl seems to be shedding enough to make another dog right now)

    I do also have a furminator which has been okay but most of the teeth have broken off so no longer use it but it was good for the first few years.

    Furminator for me - I have a dog that sheds constantly (Bassett X Japanese Spitz) and it's great at keeping the undercoat in control.
