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 first Use 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.

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.

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.

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.

Perfeito para o que se propõe

Excelente deslanador, sólo para animales pequeños por su tamaño.

This is really an excellent device. I had my doubts at first, being sceptical of most advertising, but this dematting tool really does the job gently and effectively. Very easy to use and instructions are provided. My cat loves being brushed and had only two or three very small mats in his fur that were easily dealt with and I can see that it would do a good job on more serious mats too, although it might take a little longer. I thoroughly recommend this addition to your cat's (or dog's) grooming equipment.

Excelente producto. 100% recomendable
