Pets First Professional Pet Mat Remover - Dematting Tool for Grooming Cats & Dogs - Removes Matted Fur, Tangles, Knots, Loose Hair & Dirt - Stainless Steel, Gentle Teeth, Soft Comfort Grip Handle,Blue

I just received this mate removal tool and I’m amazed how well it works. I have a miniature schnauzer, and the fur on her legs can easily get small mats. Removing them with a traditional dog comb worked, but it was very time consuming. This de-mating tool has made the de-matting so much easier. In a matter of minutes, I’m able to do what used to take about an hour. I’m sure my schnauzer appreciates it too. If your pets coat becomes easily matted, this is the tool you need to have.

It does exactly what it says it will. Excellent tool for matted fur.

My cat has very long, fluffy hair that sheds a lot and gets tangled easily, especially behind his legs. It worked pretty well for removing excess fur and relatively well for removing small-ish knots. I would not use it on large knots because it pulls too much on his skin. If you use it, be careful of pulling on tangles too hard, and I did notice that it got caught in a spot where loose hair had built up (even though this spot wasn’t knotted). My cat likes how it feels to be brushed with it on his back, though he is less enthusiastic about being brushed elsewhere (which is generally true of most brushes for him). Overall, I’m pretty happy with using this as a tool to keep my cat’s large amount of shedding under control and helping maintain his coat health.

Excellent specialty comb for knots

Got the big mats out of my Norwegian forest cat, but since she’s highly anxious and hates being touched when she’s tangled, I have to sort of do this on the run and where she stops is where we handle business. The way the metal pieces are, you and only brush one way, which made it hard for me to do when she was between the toilet and the wall. I needed the brush to be able to be used in my opposite hand and couldn’t. I’m not sure if there’s a way to flip the metal part or what but I sure as hell couldn’t figure it out. It didn’t get some of her tougher mats but did help with some medium sized ones.

It worked My elder cat had so many mats and this worked wonders

It broke the first time I used it, one of the teeth pulled out. Pulled fur more than it cut through it.

Doesn’t explain it’s for left handed people. Using right handed makes the blades in wrong direction. Worthless for me. Not returning in not worth the 7 mile ride in gas to return it.

Wanted a tool to specifically to keep my cockapoos legs from getting matted. This tool was perfect and good quality. Does the job as intended.

Okay now THAT’S a fur removal tool! Furminator might as well retire. It’s never beating this thing. Lily, the fluff ball on the left there, hates the Furminator. She’s not delighted with this either but she gets only mildly irritated, not distressed the way she gets with Furminator. The tool works best if you use short raking strokes and work section by section rather than long strokes from front end to back end, & wow is it effective when you do. If you hook gently under a mat & kind of scratch at the hair, the mat comes away easily, too, without pulling the cat’s skin. The cat has to be pointing the right way because the tool isn’t ambidextrous, but that’s just a point worth noting, not a criticism. Pointless on short hair cats but get it if you have a fluff ball. UPDATE: it’s not pointless at all on short hair cats, as it turns out. Just not as dramatic :-)

Quita muy bien el exceso de pelo y ayuda a desenredar los nudos de mi gatito Ragdoll pelo largo...si se tiene un nudo grande es mejor deshacerlo poco a poco para poder usar el cepillo y evitar que salga corriendo.

Was hopeful after reading other reviews that this might just be the answer for helping me deal with my cat's matts. I have a handsome, but skittish rescue tuxedo cat with medium length fur, who tends to get matts near his tail and on his fluffy back legs. Been a nightmare trying to get rid of them as he runs almost as soon as i start touching them. Worked him up to getting used to this brush by grooming him on his back and sides using short brushes (which he seems to enjoy). Then today i approached one of his matts whilst we were snuggling and in under 10 secs the matt was out! He didn't flinch. Success!

From the instant I used the tool, I was impressed. Cuts through mats like butter. I have groomed sheepdogs and shih tzus for years (but it would work for any breed vog dog or cat) I am left handed and this tool works naturally for me. The rounded tips protect my dog. If a mat is larger, I can use this tool to start near the edges and work down towards the skin without discomfort to my dog (tip: hold the base of the mat and skin so you don't pull the hair). The only improvement I would make is to put tiny sarations on the blades. But I still give this product 👍👍👍👍👍
