FURminator Adjustable Dematting

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 have a TNR who I have been trying to gain trust with. He’s long-haired and ends up, ripping his own fur out to get the knots out of himself. I needed something that was going to work well, that is well-made and going to cut through without too much effort since I didn’t know how long of a chance I was going to have with him to get the mat off his neck. Well, this worked. It’s very smooth to the touch on the blade area no chance of cutting your pet and when combing at the mat to get under it, it didn’t pull very hard instead cut the hair mat that was combed into the hooked area of the comb. He actually allowed me to do it as if I was just combing him. this is a cat that is just learning to trust.Also feel that the gray color is less intimidating when you’re bringing it close to them. All these wild colors I don’t think are great ideas when you’re trying to work with animals that are a little timid, or untrusting ,I can say I highly recommend this piece and I am impressed at how well it works.

Works well!

This worked very well to take out two mats on my dog. I tried to remove them with a regular brush with no luck. Love this tool! It’s easy to use and my dog didn’t mind it at all.

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.

We have an older kitty who is slowly declining from kidney issues. He normally grooms himself just fine, and he's a DSH, not a long-hair so... To our surprise, he turned up with two big matted spots, one on each hip. Just those areas - the rest seems to be OK. We have zero experience with matting like this and turned to Google, which of course led us to Amazon lol. We already have a regular FURminator, but this was beyond that. We debated taking him to a groomer, but worried about stressing him out. So we got this dematting tool. We are definitely not great cat groomers lol - but the tool did its job, and we managed to get those mats off without hurting him! Well worth the price of admission.One tip we have is, make sure you're reading the right instructions! The instructions were a paper of instructions for probably every tool they make, and we nearly followed the wrong ones. You are supposed to use it against the fur (going from tail toward head), not with the fur (head toward tail). We also fiddled a bit getting the rake (?) to the right depth position, using the buttons on the sides and top. Make sure it's even and locked. I hope to never need it again, but would definitely use it if needed.

I have an overweight cat who can no longer groom his entire body, and the areas he couldn’t reach started to mat badly. The mats were absorbing urine, which made the smell of ammonia quite unpleasant. I had tried other razors with no success and was always too afraid to use scissors, worried I’d hurt him or not get close enough to the root of the mats. But with this little device, I was able to easily remove all of his mats without much fuss. He didn’t seem to mind it, and I felt much more confident using it. Super easy to use—I'm very happy with this purchase!

This works as well as, well.... it doesn't work as well as anything. A regular comb would work better for a cat. The width of the comb part of this furminator device is exactly a measly 1.25 in wide. It is so tiny, even for use on a cat, as to be ludicrous. It is supposed to be adjustable, but the comb sits crooked in the housing. It came that way. Nothing in the instructions or on the box explains exactly how you are supposed to extend the comb or reseat it, but I figured out how. It just doesn't work. It's supposed to have an ergonomic handle, and I suppose if your hands are the size of Arnold Schwarzenegger's, it might fit comfortably. Mine aren't. The hype claims that it really helps with mats in the coat. All it does is get hung up when it hits a mat, and piss the cat off. Maybe due to lack of experience grooming cats? I think not! I run a cat rescue. I've been grooming cats for 40 years.
