Dogs will be dogs!! Rolling in who knows what, getting burrs, twigs and even tar stuck in their coats.
Left untreated this debris can cause irritation matting and tangles and can lead to skin complaints. If regular washing and grooming can't get them out then use the dematting comb to simply trim out the problems.
Very good for cutting through matted knots so you can reduce them them down to the point where you can brush them out. No longer have to cut them out. The side with the thumb protector is very sharp but the other side is blunt for removing the hair. We're very pleased with it.
I bought this after struggling with matted clumps that I was having to cut out with scissors. I have not needed to chop any out since buying this product. It works so well- gets all the knots out without losing too much fur. So happy with it!
