Chris Christensen Big K Slicker Brush will withstand years of professional use, even with the daily grooming of multiple dogs. Best suited for hard-to-manage, dense double coats and heavy, wavy, or curly doodle coats. It desheds and demats efficiently without compromising the integrity of the coat.
“I am a professional groomer of 17 years. I bought mine over a year and a half ago and it is still going strong. I use it on at least seven dogs every day. It is superior to all the brushes I've used. It gets through thick coats like Newfies and Doodles with much less strain on your wrist and hand.”
Greater distribution of fewer pins allows the brush to run through thick, heavy, long coats easily, removing twice the hair, with half the effort.
Reach deep into the coat, flexing as you brush, making it easy to deshed and detangle. Angled ends grab and remove the undercoat, without scratching.
Extra-long curved handle with a non-slip grip prevents arm and hand fatigue. Perfect for professionals who groom multiple dogs daily.
Curved back allows additional control, movement and direction. Flexible cushioned pin pad is forgiving and gentle as the brush moves through the coat.
Learn about the basics of the Big K. Allison Alexander discusses the three different sizes to help you decide which brush is best for your dog and its needs. Each Big K Slicker has a sparsely spaced pin distribution, each of which is 27mm long and lofted. The sizes are:
- Big K large is 8" long. The head is 3 3/4" x 3 3/4"
- Big K medium is 7 3/8" long. The head is 2 3/8" x 3 3/4"
- Baby K is 7 3/8" long. The head is 2 3/8" x 2 3/8"
Allison Alexander discusses the Big K and the Baby K, showing you when and where you want to use both, using a Skye Terrier as an example. She recommends Baby K for small, delicate places as it offers precision in these difficult-to-reach areas. For efficiency in the bigger areas, use the Big K so you can cover a greater surface area in less time.

Allison is a grooming expert, educator, and an award-winning dog handler and uses the Big K Slicker on her dogs.

Watch Marco Lalau compare the best-selling Slicker Brushes – Big G and Big K. Each will work effectively but will take knots out easier depending on coat density. For dense, thick double coats such as Bouvier de Flandres and Black Russian Terriers use the Big K. For lighter, curly, cottony coats for breeds such as Poodles and "doodles" use the Big G. Marco is the founder of Groomers Pro. He is also a grooming educator, has owned/operated a chain of salons, and has competed on Groomer Has It.
The 'Big' series slicker brushes all have 27mm pins to reach into longer coats; however, the pin spacing is different to address distinct grooming challenges. Big G has the least space between the pins, Big K has a medium amount of spacing, and Big A has the most spacing between pins.
