Are these 2 products "must haves" for grooming?
1. A utility rake: Removes mats & tangles quickly & easily without cutting or pulling the coat. 2 rows of teeth in a v-shape & wooden handle. http://www.jefferspet.com/ssc/product.a ... cmkw=UD-M1 2. Mat & Tangle Splitter: A professional groomer's tool designed to remove mats & tangles quickly & easily. http://www.jefferspet.com/ssc/product.a ... cmkw=uw-m1 Thanks for your input! |

| Rakes are helpful if you have multiple tight matting. However for the occasional "loose" mat, its better to split it apart carefully with your fingers so you don't loose all the hair. For the occasional tight mat, just get a scissors and cut it out, or a small sharp bladed pocket knife and slit it upward away from the skin. Essential tools however are a good comb and pin brush. I use the fine/medium combination comb and Hindes pin brush. Of course other helpful grooming tools include blow dryer if you do the bathing, nail clippers, and some prefer tweezers to remove hair growth at the entrance to the ears. Finally a good grooming table is a must in my opinion. |
| That V shape thing looks like it would get caught very easily. If I had to recommend a rake, I'd say get a 10 bladed Mars rake. They're a bit more pricey but worth it. It'll also easily remove some of the undercoat and make grooming a lot easier for you. I don't like those blade-type dematters just because there's a chance I could stab Clyde but, even more, a bigger chance I could hurt myself! These days, since we got the Mars rake around Christmas and by keeping the undercoat at bay, Clyde almost never gets mats anymore. The few that he does get, we just use a small dematting comb. These are just my preferences and I'm sure others will offer alternatives too but that's what works for us! |
