I will do the best I can...Dogs can have seizures, explosive diarrhea etc. I will not keep a dog on my table for 6 hours. I will only push so far. Humanity before vanity. |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Tue May 29, '12 10:39pm PST |  |  |  |  | If your budget is around $200 I would pick the andis excel 5 speed. You can pick up a new pair for around $179 on ebay. Havn't tried the laube, but I believe they are upward of around $300+ Excel's are super light weight, and have a narrow body. I am small in stature, so this was a deciding factor when I chose them. |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Thu May 3, '12 8:56pm PST |  |  |  |  | From the second pic you posted, it looks like a 1 guide comb on the body, and possibly an E gc on the legs, that were skimmed, and then scissor finished. The legs look really full, and as a groomer, when I do longer cuts, and there next appointment rolls around, I find matting, in the underarms, Inner legs, and the foot area. I would suggest, and easier to maintain length being a 1 gc body, with a 0 gc skimmed legs. Looks nice without being too hard to keep up. Like the face |  |  |  |  |

Small Dogs > What is the best comb or brush for matted fur?

| Barked: Thu May 3, '12 8:19pm PST |  |  |  |  | As a groomer, I would like to suggest 3 things. A soft slicker, a metal comb with med/fine teeth, and some type of liquid silk protein. You can buy a product called Quicker Slicker from any Tractor Supply. I like Chris Christensen Silky Spirits, but it's basically the same thing. A little goes a looooong way. Rub about a pea size into a mat. Then try to split with your fingers. Work with a brush outside and them when you feel that it's out, run a comb through to make sure. You want to make sure you can comb down to the skin. |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Wed Jan 25, '12 6:44pm PST |  |  |  |  | Toto, just wanted to say I love Crown Royal!! Smells divine. I also use it on flat coats, then brush through with a boar bristle brush. I know I was taught to demat prior to bathing, but I find it takes significantly longer working those mats out when the coat is dirty. I would rather demat while drying or prior to the actual haircut. |  |  |  |  |
