5Pcs Knotting Comb for Cats, Pet Knotting Comb De knotting comb for Dog Pet Hair Removal Tool Cat Dog Grooming Supplies Matted Fur Remover

I have been ill for a while, and hadn't been brushing my super-long-haired boy's coat. I didn't realize just how quickly it would mat up! He wound up with several large mats on his back by his tail.He is an extremely sensitive cat, and me teasing these knots out with a comb wasn't going to happen. If I even accidentally tugged at his fur a little too hard he pitched a fit and took himself off to some corner to get over his fury. So I had to work in short sessions, tackling a little at a time over the course of a few days.In between copious amounts of Zoom Groom brushing on his face--which he would tell you is the only real way to be brushed--, I would slip one of these cutters down and work on a mat. These cutters were easy to hold, sharp enough to work very quickly, and safe enough that I knew even if Mr. Sensitive flew off in a rage, neither of us would get hurt.I know they're not necessarily meant to be used this way, but they also worked to cut out a couple smaller mats completely once he and I had conferred and made the decision that he wasn't going to tolerate another thirty seconds. I just turned the cutter perpendicular to the hair direction instead of parallel and slid the blade across close to the skin, and in a flash the pesky mats were gone.Now that I'm doing a little better and his beautiful coat is somewhat back under control, I've found a couple knots starting to form because he's still not getting brushed as often as he normally would be. It's been easy to use one of these the correct way and cut apart the knot while saving most of the hair.I like that there are five, so if one gets dull it's no big deal to grab a new one. And for the price, you can't beat that. These do what they're supposed to do, and I'm so glad they do! My gorgeous boy is back to gorgeous and can spend his time admiring himself in the mirror once again, while I know that I have insurance against any knots that dare to show up.

What a game changer! In some areas a cat groomer is hard to find, leading people to take their cat to the vet and having them sedated just to remove matted fur. $$$This gadget is actually a coupon cutter, renamed.Some of you do & some don’t remember the days of clipping coupons : ) way back before we all had internet.This works quickly, it’s a razor blade, truly safer than trying to cut with scissors.

I thought this was a safe way to remove knots, but took large chunks of skin off of my cat. I don’t reccomend for deeply matted fur. This is basically just a letter opener. Blade is very sharp.

Great value! We use these at the spay/neuter clinic I work at to quickly tackle matted dogs and cats. They work well for mild-moderate matting and are a good starting point for severe matting. The build is good, but I wish the point was a little less blunt so it's easier to punch through some more gnarly matting. I have not cut an animal yet so I'm happy with the safety. The blade seems sharp, I haven't had to swap the first one out yet! However, I have cut myself so +1 for sharpness and -1 for comfort. It's a great grooming tool to have in our kit and saves our time and clipper blades!

This really worked well in getting knots out of my cats hair.

One already broke really don't work that well to remember ve matting on cats.

These are awesome!!!!! They work really well on our elder kitty who can't clean herself like she used to and gets matted spots on her legs

This is a letter opener. I feel dumb for buying it.I thought it would help with a feisty new foster cat who's got a couple mats at her hips the size of big marshmallows.I hoped it would be safer than scissors if she thrashed suddenly. But nope.The razor isn't sharp enough to cut hair without pulling. And it gets bogged down very easily.Also it's pointy enough you might accidentally puncture skin if your cat's not holding still.My crappy dollar store safety scissors worked better. Maybe it would be different in smaller mats or a cat with more trust and patience.
