Chris Christensen Mark I Extra-Small 12mm Slicker Brush
STAINLESS STEEL
Why we recommend it: An extra-small head puts 12mm stainless-steel pins into compact areas on small pets, with foam cushioning beneath the flexible pad. The beechwood handle keeps this a lightweight detailing tool rather than a broad body brush.

Pet grooming
Pet grooming tools in steel, wood, bamboo, and natural bristle with no coated blades or synthetic fragrance.
Grooming tools contact skin and fur that pets then lick. Coated blades and fragranced products introduce chemicals that can be ingested. Steel, wood, bamboo, and natural bristle keep the contact materials simple.
