On a dense or long coat, a short-pinned\nbrush works the surface and leaves the layer next to the skin alone - and that\nlayer is where matting actually begins. By the time you can see the mat from\noutside, it has been forming for a week. The tips are what matter. Slickers\nget their reputation for scratching from unfinished pins. Every pin on this\nbrush has a rounded, protected finish designed to slide through coat without\ncatching the skin underneath, which matters most on thin-skinned breeds, on\nsensitive dogs and on cats. Which coats. Doodles and Poodle crosses, Cocker\nand Springer Spaniels, Border Collies, Bearded Collies, Samoyeds and any\ndouble coat dense enough to swallow a brush. Also useful on a long-haired cat.\nHow to use it without hurting the dog. Mist the coat with a leave-in\nconditioner first - a dry coat is where damage happens. Take a section, hold\nthe hair above it out of the way, and brush the exposed layer outwards from\nthe skin. Work up the body a layer at a time, letting the pins do the work\nrather than pressing. Then check it. Run a comb through a finished section. If\nthe comb stops, the brush has not reached the skin and the mat is still there.\nBamboo handle from the Nature Collection: a grass that regrows in a few years\nrather than a plastic moulding.
