Pet Dematting Comb for Big Small Dogs Cats and Other Pets with Medium and Long Hair. Removes Most Tangles. 6-balde Stainless Steel Dematter Rake with Curved Edges for Safety. Ergonomic Rubber Grips

This product is wonderful. When my cat sees me pick it up she jumps up on the foot stool where I groom her, instead of running away and hiding under the bed like she used to do. I pet her and use the comb a few times. Pet her and use the come more. At first she would only hold still for 3 minutes. Now she just relaxes and purrs. She will let me turn her over and get to her other side and as I her turns her she is completely relaxes. I think if I stay on top of her grooming I will not need to use scissors again.Your product is making Tiger Lilly a cranky 11 year old Lynx Point looking cat with long hair very happy. ( her mom was a long haired tabby and her dad was a Siamese. she was born feral and is the queen of all she surveys)We caught 12 cats and took them to the Feral Cat Project and had them spayed and neutered. Found homes for 3, adopted 3 and feed and provided shelter to the remaining feral colony cats till the end of there life.Don;t let anyone tell you that feral cart do OK. Even with food and shelter Tiger Lillie's Mom and 3 brothers were dead in under 3 years.And while I'm on my soap box: you can adopt adult feral cats. You just need an environment full of peace and quite and patients. Recently we adopted and adult male feral and we could not touch him for over 2 years. He ran when we looked at him. But he watched how me treated the other cats and decided to try this petting business. Its now been 4 years and he has just started sleeping on my lap.

This brush is is 7 inches long, with a soft plastic handle and "grips" along the side of the handle. It has 6 blades on it, each about 1/2 inch long.The seller calls this comb a "Pet Dematting Comb" which is what it would best be used for. This comb would be best for pets with hair that gets tangled. It would not be a good brush for pets with short hair.In the "elbows" of the blades of this brush, there are sharpened edges for cutting out tangled and matted hair. These are very helpful when pet hair is very tangled and matted, and simply brushing out the tangles will not work.The back of the package says that this Dematting Comb might be suitable for small pets, like dogs, cats and rabbits, which makes sense to me. It also says that it might be suitable for large animals, like horses. I don't have horses, but I have to believe that this comb would be too small for use on a horse, unless the tangle was relatively small.Overall, the comb seems quite sturdy and the blades are securely embedded into the handle. And there is a hole in the end of the handle to tie a small rope or string for hanging on a pegboard. This comb will suit my needs just fine.

Great concept but only works in certain directions and also, doesn't pull thru pets hair easily (even fur that is not matted). I bought this to prevent matts with regular use. Unfortunately I can't use regular because it pulls to hard and my cat won't sit for it. My cat is a long haired Manx with double coats of fur (long and short/denser coat closer to skin). This brush does an awesome job of pulling fur from his undercoat (like no other brush - totally amazing) but it pulls to much in doing so (even though there's no matts or knots or anything). You would think the wide spaced combs could prevent pulling in the absence of matts but no such luck. I've tried making strokes shorter, using my other hand to hold at roots, etc. I even tried using oil on the brush and my cats fur (coconut & olive) as well as pet conditioner...still pulls :( If your animals fur is not so dense underneath, or your animal can take a little tugging, this comb will probably work for you. Otherwise probably just best to save your money!

I needed something heavy-duty for my badly matted long-haired cat. Yes, this actually will do the trick, but only to a certain point. If you can get hold of the underside of the mat, and hold it tight, this will surely "cut through" it with those sharp blades. But if you just try to pull out mats with this, it still pulls on their skin and that's painful. I ended up having to get my cat shaved, and will try to be better at mat control in the future. Still...this could be a useful tool if used carefully. Could be dangerous to fingers, too, if you're not careful.

So I had a bad semester, my cats were cranky about living with my roommates' cats, and they stress ate and got a little pudgy. Mats got away from me. It was no good and entirely my fault.I had never used a dematting comb before and most of them are made for dogs and have reviews from dog owners. This looked like the smallest and it was the right size for (even pudgy) house cats. You have to go REALLY REALLY slowly. My cats love to be brushed and they hate having their mats combed out. The tugging definitely doesn't feel good but it was this or having a groomer shave their butts. I think one little mat a day is a good start followed by apology treats (I also followed up with their beloved Zoom Groom to remind them that all other brushing is awesome).

If you have a long-haired cat that tends to get the occasional mat, this little comb does a fantastic job of quickly breaking up the mat. It's not so much a comb as a "mat-slicer" that hooks under the matted fur and slices it into small, easy-to-remove pieces. One of our long-haired cats loves to lie against a window screen, which makes her fur mat up where it's pressed against the screen, and this little comb works nicely to keep her coat mat-free.We've used these "combs" for years on our cats, and recently got one for my sister, or more specifically, her cat. Like our kitty, hers doesn't like to hold still and be combed for more than a few seconds, fortunately with this little tool that's all it takes.

This seems to do the trick. My cat is over 20 years old and no longer grooms her beautiful fluffy belly fur properly. If she would sit still better, this comb would have her looking gorgeous again in about 15 minutes. Instead I use it in 30 second spurts. I think the thing I like best is the size of the comb part. It's about 1.5 inches long and .75 inch wide, perfect for getting her belly when she doesn't want me to.
