FURminator Adjustable Dematting Tool for All Pet Coat Types & Lengths | Safely* and Easily Remove Matted Hair on Dogs & Cats, FURextender Button Adjusts for All Hair Types & Lengths

My cat had several areas that were matted pretty badly. I felt terrible and was about to take her to a professional groomer. A friend suggested trying this and it worked like a charm. I genuinely think I was more worried about hurting her than she was. She was purring like crazy after it cut out the first matted area. Highly recommend and saved me a ton of money.

PERFECT FOR MATTED HAIR! I have a short haired 16y old cat, for the most part she maintains her coat well on her own. She has never been much of a fan of being brushed in general, and I've tried many styles she tolerates it for about 2 min before she becomes Kujo. Recently, she went through a short spell of not eating normally and being off, all ended up fine in the end but during this her haircoat went unmaintained and she developed terrible mats all over her body. I have had to remove some mats from her before, what I would say is average and can do so with normal dematting combs I have but those were not doing the job this time, the mats were SO bad, I felt awful. After searching I came across this so I decided to try it. AMAZING. While she still wasn't a huge fan of the process I was able to get all her mats removed spending about 3-5 min a night 3 nights in a row. She tolerated this dematting comb far better than the others which mostly pulled her hair. After mats were removed she even seemed to, dare I say like, me using this on her back area through her thick coat as general combing. It kept getting a lot of her under coat up which was great and just really made her fluff back up. I wish I would have taken before and after photos, but I didn't think of it. The blades on this comb seem to cut/shred the hair really well to remove mats as gently as possible. As I said, I have several other dematting combs and none have the cutting blades like this even though they make claim to. If you have a matted pet to deal with, you will not be disappointed with this purchase, 100% recommend.

Our Maine Coon, Floki, is long-haired and fluffy like most cats of that breed. His tummy is wavy/curly and he definitely gets little knots and mats of fur under his "arms" and down around the base of his tail. This thing works pretty well to detangle and remove knots. I try to pull the knot apart a bit by hand first because if it really pulls with the de-matter, Floki will give me a bite! But mostly he doesn't mind me using this on him. Still, keeping him groomed so that we have less hair on the couches and other things he lays on is a challenge. I have a couple of combs and a couple brushes, and one of those rubber-spikey gloves (that thing is pretty useful) and now the de-matter. It takes all of these things to manage a Maine Coon's fur!Furmintaor tools are pricey, this one less so but if it works, then I guess it's worth it and this one is sturdy and seems to be wellmade, should last years.

Fits in my hand easily with a comfortable grip. Grabs a lot of undercoat in a short amount of time.In just a minute or less, on my pom I had a Cottonball size ball of fur from him.This was recommended to me by our groomer because my 11 year old pomeranian has a very dense coat.(Literally feels like he's wearing a polar fleece hoodie) He's groomed approx every 8 weeks and they use this on him EVERY time!It's important to know that you need to detangle your pet FIRST!! Be sure you're not using it over matted areas. Comb those out firstUse a favorite regular dog brush before using this.The Furminator only needs quick strokes in the direction the fur grows.This is NOT for long stroke brushing.It grabs an insane amount of undercoat which is just hanging in there anyways.Your dog will be uncomfortable if you take to long of strokes with this as it will pull. Otherwise it's very good at getting the job done.Can be used on short hair dogs too. Has an adjustable height option but be VERY careful. Your dog will hate you if you use this too far down into their coat and cut or scratch them with it.I do not recommend this being used by kids under age 15 unless you're sure your kids are very well informed on how to use it. Definitely not for kids under 10.This reaches deeper than any other tool I've ever used and works wonders on my pomeranian.If you've got a pomeranian, golden retriever, husky, malamute, chow or any dog with a similar coat thickness or fluff level, this will help greatly between grooming.I highly recommend Furminator predicts but especially this.

I'm not sure if it's my cat or not, but it's hard to get the blades down into her fur because they're so close together. I haven't had this issue with other brand brushes like this. Also, the blades aren't sharp... none of the hairs are cutting, it's just pulling them out... which helps, but is not what I wanted. I hear so many amazing things about this brand and I'm truly disappointed. It does work to an extent though, I'm still getting up lots of fur... but other brushes have been much better.

This is my favorite dematter for my Maine Coon cat, who has very long, silky hair. However, you need to try different tools on your particular pet's coat to see what works best for that coat. What I like about this one, besides the curve of the claws, is that it's relatively narrow, so you don't pull a lot of hair at one time. I try to hold the base of the mat so the tool is not uncomfortable for my cat, and gently remove a small part of the mat at a time. With a much wider tool that I own, I still only use a corner of it so I'm not pulling across a lot of skin.When I bought this, I had been using a brush and an Xacto knife--please, please do not do this, because it is very easy to cut your pet (only once for me, fortunately) or yourself (many times). So I had expected that the claw teeth in this would be razor sharp. They're not, and that's probably a good thing because eventually you'll need to work close to the skin, and that's why it's shaped this way, to keep from digging in. A really bad mat may require some cutting with scissors but again, carefully. Cat's skin, in particular, is pretty loose, so you don't want to pull it up and then cut it through the mat! That's why the Xacto knife is such a bad idea; even scissors are dangerous if you get too close to the skin.Here's my best advice. Use this regularly and get on top of the matting. In my case, it took around 3 months to overcome the matting that had already occured on my cat, because he's only willing to stand for this for perhaps 10 or 15 minutes at a time. So you just want to remove them faster than they're forming and eventually, even if it takes months, you'll get caught up. I try to do a brushing every two days. It's a lot of work, and the cat doesn't like it a lot, although brushing is not as bad as dematting, but if you stay caught up with the mats, everyone will be a lot happier.It's a quality tool, and works well on my particular cat.

This dematting tool removed mats from my long-haired cat, Gracie. She had terrible mats on her sides that combing wouldn't touch. Gracie loves being combed so using this tool was a breeze. It took three sessions of 20 to 30 minutes each time to remove all the matting. Please take your time and go slowly.I used it first on her unmatted hair to try it out. Then I held her skin and mats with my left hand and used the tool with my right. That way I didn't pull on her fragile skin. The teeth on the tool helped to break up the mat so I carefully cut out some of the mat. I started at the end of the mat and detangled that hair first, then worked my way back.The first time was the hardest. The second and third times went very well for both Gracie and for me. Both of us knew what to expect. She looks and feels so much better and is very soft. I will use this in the winter to keep her from getting matted again.The only problem I had was my other two short-haired cats wanted their turn, too! I lightly combed them with the tool and they enjoyed themselves. They both have very short under-coats and no matting.Great product, easy to use, great price!

Danger. This cut my cat pretty bad. The blades are too profound, big, sharp. Still, it did not reach under the mats fully. I think cats are too delicate for this, and I'll go back to my old cheaper cat deshedding mat rake that cost $5. This product is really excellently made, and likely it would be good for a dog with a shedding problem or a dog with mats. Maybe this is best for a larger dog with long hair, or a dog with undercoat fur shedding (like a german sheperd). If you use this on a dog like a lab, you taking off their needed top fur too, and same on more ornamental dogs. I wondered why the cat and dog hair rakes are not sold at the Walmart store....just too dangerous. Well, as you know, cats are just "thin skinned". Also, watch out for product vids on youtube, as they are not going to discuss this danger, and also the product support paid vids here you Amazon....they have only the positive view. My own approach was to try some of the matting and shedding products for my cats, as recommended for cats. Then, today I'm goint to donate the ones that were just too dangerous to the DOG animal shelter, not the cat one. And, think about this, a bloody close nick could end up costing you stitches at the vet and $2oo plus. Mostly though, I don't want to hurt my buddy cats.This furminator is the BEST of it's type, but for a very specific dog.

Il prodotto si presenta solido, ergonomico e abbastanza intuitivo nell'uso. Va però utilizzato con qualche precauzione. È una spazzola con lame che, quando il pelo è ordinato, lasciano passare il pelo tra le maglie del pettine, quando incontrano qualche nodo, il pelo fa forza sulle lame e viene tagliato via. Questo almeno è il principio di funzionamento. Io ho una gatta vecchia che purtroppo ha smesso di curare il suo pelo e mi serviva qualcosa che oltre le semplici forbici per togliere i nodi. È utile, ma non necessariamente risolutivo. Dipende molto da quanto è annodato il pelo. NON VA USATO CON FORZA. Se volete bene al vostro animale, non strappate con violenza nella speranza di togliere i nodi più ostici (e vi assicuro che la mia gatta li ha!). Dovete avere pazienza e insistere con più passaggi. Al limite, prendete e tenete il pelo alla base fermo per ridurre il fastidio all'animale quando usate la spazzola. E se proprio non funziona, forse è perché il pelo è così annodato che è meglio una bella tosatura della parte problematica. Secondo me usandolo regolarmente funziona, magari in accoppiata ad una spazzola a trama fine per ridurre il sottopelo che tende ad annodarsi. Visto che l'ho preso da poco, non ho ancora avuto il tempo di valutare la durata delle lame e della spazzola nel complesso. Sembrano tutto solido e ben fatto, ma non so quanto resterà e quanto le lame manterranno il filo. Mi riservo di aggiornare se necessario la recensione in seguito.
