Poodle Dematting Fur Rake Comb Brush for Dogs and Cats - Long 2.5" Steel Safety Blades Metal Comb for Detangling Matted or Knotted Undercoat Hair

Love it! I have a Maine Coon with very fine down and he develops small mats behind his front legs, in front of his rear legs, and sometimes on his belly. My old methods were not effective because he is more impatient than my previous Maine Coons. So I found this tool and thought I would try it.I was upset when I took it out because the blades face up instead of down. This makes it nearly impossible to use, even left-handed (and I am right-handed). For a cat, you will need to be behind him and rake towards yourself to maintain control. Well, I saw the nut on the top and bingo! Take the nut off and you can disassemble the comb and put the blades back on on in any of four ways you want! Now it works fantastically- best dematting tool I have ever used. So much easier than trying to pick them out with a wide comb or cut them out.

This comb works wonderful. Fits in your hand and is the right size! Very sturdy, we are very happy with it!

We’re amazed by how well this comb works! Our Goldendoodle is prone to heavy matting, and every grooming session used to end with her completely shaved. After trying countless tools, we finally found this comb and it truly delivers. Her coat is now soft, smooth, and mat-free. Just be cautious, the blades are sharp, so use the thumb rest for safety while grooming. I’m extremely happy with this purchase and highly recommend it to other doodle owners!

UPDATE with my original review below. I've learned to use this dematter in a different way than I previously had been. Instead of just combing through and expecting the blades to cut, I realized they're serrated so you have to do a saw-like motion. It has helped him be a little more tolerant and presumably comfortable, but it's not completely pain free for him and he only tolerates it for a few minutes at most. It doesn't come with instructions for effective use which I think is the bigger problem. Maybe I'm still not using it correctly! But it's hard to say without instructions.~~~ (original review below) ~~~I've got a schnauzer with the typical schnauzer beard. It gets very matted under his chin and I often have to cut it off entirely. I was really excited to try this based on reviews, but we haven't had the same easy experience that the other reviewers have talked about. This is definitely an effective dematter but it will take several days (and many treats!) to get through all of the mats. It's uncomfortable for him but it does seem to be working at picking the mats apart as we take it slowly.

Yes it’s the best comb I have to brush my golden doodles thick curly fur! Combined with the bio silk for dogs detangle spray. I realize it’s so good cause it’s so sharp, I cut my finger cleaning the blade so be careful !

Not all combs for fur are created equal! This one is Santa approved! Santa's fur can get pretty matted in his travels... best comb for his Santa suit fur! Imagine how awesome it will work on your pet!Arrow is after a quick comb...circle shows condition prior

This is made with great quality, very heavy and will cut through smaller mats on my cavapoo. My only suggestion is that I wish the tool was a bit smaller but otherwise great and happy with my purchaseWhy did you pick this product vs others?:I liked the plastic grip handle and had good reviews

This comb works to get the dead hair out. My 4 year old shihpoo did not complain or run away when I used it on her. She did not have mats, just some thick hair that needed to be combed through. The first time I used it one of the teeth got bent to the side. I had to pull it back to align it with the rest of the teeth. Other than that, it worked well.
