Nice and sturdy comb. I have a large maine coon. It’s just really heavy compared to other combs and the comb part just seems too bulky for my guys skin. Still part of my barber kit but may be better suited for a dog.

My cat Kirby has the densest fur. He experienced immediate joy at the relief from the matting that couldn't be removed with a wire brush, when this fantastic device was used. The tool took out some deep mats that I couldn't get out with anything else. I love this tool and so does Kirby. He started making out with it when I was trying to finish his back.

I cant say enough about this comb... Kudos to whoever came up with this product! Hands down this is absolutely AMAZING, if you read the instructions, and the comb is used properly it works as describes. I love the fact that when purchased they donate part of profits to help other fur-babies in need! This product saved me hundreds of dollars at the vet ! BUT Most important my fur-baby is happy again and her fur is back to normal and is no longer in pain from the mats!! Highly recommend to anyone in this tangled up situation to buy this product!! Its absolutely PUR-FECT!

I inherited some cats and they had quite a few mats that I have been working on getting out. I was really excited to use this because I have tried a lot of different tools. This one works okay for the most part. I was slightly disappointed because I had them snag a couple times and get stuck and obviously that’s not ideal. I have used it on my dog and it works okay for him. If you have an animal with long textured hair that’s really matted or tangled I would maybe look at other options. I think the product itself was good. I also am not a professional and I was under the impression it had blades that would kind of cut the mats out as you brush without irritating the skin. I may have misunderstood how the product actually worked so my expectations were higher than they probably should have been. I’m rating 4 stars because it’s a good brush but it’s not for what I was doing with it.

My 14 year old cat was heavily matted despite my best efforts and many types of combs used. This pet dematting rake by Pet Republique was the BEST item I have ever purchased. Removed all the matting in one sitting. Tool is strong, easy to use and inexpensive but most of all my cat tolerated it well and appeared quite comfortable. I highly recommend it

So I snuck the new de-matting rake into the bedroom last night and set it where I could reach it. When Taco came for his evening scritches I brought it out and held him so I could try out the rake and see if I could get some of his tangles out.Taco hates the brush. And the nail clippers. When I brush him I get the cold shoulder for days as well as a couple of good scratches. He hides in the closet. But this time was a little different!It seems like the inside edges of this one are super sharp and they slice right through the mats with very little resistance. The part of the outer curve that touches the skin is rounded and blunt. The first strokes I got in pulled a lot of material out of his chest fur (which has a lot of matted undercoat) and he was not happy -- he escaped my clutches and jumped off the bed to hide in the closet.But, unexpectedly, he returned after a few minutes! Then he let me brush his flanks and the backs of his rear legs, slowly retreating towards the end of the bed after each little session, but not quite leaving altogether. We alternated scritches and brushes for a while. Then he fled and I went to sleep.At 6am he was sleeping on my head: apparently the cold nose trick didn't wake me up. So I got the mats and didn't lose a friend. Five stars, good product, would recommend.

I ordered this for my holland lop rabbit, which is a short-haired breed. The comb works great. The first time I was able to fully use it on him (he is still a bit nervous being in a new home), I removed a notable amount of matted fur. Now a month or so later, his fur is still mostly matte-free and his fur feels softer. I just run it through quickly and catch maybe one small matte on his back where he can't reach as easily.It is a quality comb made with good materials and feels very sturdy/well made. For the product quality, performance, and price, I would definitely recommend having this comb in your pet care supplies.

I have an indoor, long-haired calico rescue cat (around 7 years old), and a short-haired rescue cat (around 6 years old). My long-haired cat rarely gets matts in her fur, but she does shed a lot starting in the spring and throughout the summer. Because both cats tend to groom themselves and each other, there is a big increase in vomiting (both food and hairballs) starting in early spring until their winter coats come in. I bought the Pet Republique Professional Dematting Comb, mainly for my long-haired cat. Since she was a street cat before I rescued her, she is a little skittish of strangers, noises, and being touched/petted on her tummy. However, she loves to be brushed around her head, neck, back and sides. I just work in the other areas (tummy/underarms, rear end, tail) a little a time.This dematting comb is amazing. I use it gently so that she doesn't feel like I am pulling on her hair, and even so, it gets rid of a huge amount of excess fur. While I am using it, I tend to run my other hand behind the comb lightly so that, if she feels like it is tugging in the areas in which her fur is longer or thicker, my other hand is helping to keep the tugging to a minimum.I also like that the dematting comb works to thin out the hair - sort of like getting your hair "texturized" at a hair salon. Short of having her shaved in the summer, this is perfect to keep her comfortable and cool during those hot, "dog days" of Texas summer heat.There is only one thing I would love to have (in addition to this product): A narrow one just like it (teeth maybe 1.0 to 1.5 inches across) to use in very narrow spots, like the underarms and on the leg areas. There is another brand that has this specification, but I would prefer going with the brand I know.I did not receive anything for my review of this product.

Holy cow! This comb is like a slicker comb on steroids. I have a rather large, very fluffy, pretty matted cat. I called the vet about having her shaved and found that they wanted a minimum of $75 to do the job. I decided to try alternatives first so I started looking online for a good tool for dematting by cat. I came across this one, and the reviews were mostly good so I decided to give it a try. Immediately upon opening the package, I was impressed with the solid, balanced, weighty feel of the comb. The grip fits my hand nicely and is comfortable to hold and use. I started gently combing the cat with it and she seems to really enjoy the feel. It only takes a very light touch to get right into the undercoat and start removing masses of loose hair. The comb has two sides, one with fewer teeth spaced farther apart. It is recommended that you start by using the wider spaced teeth first, then switch to the tighter side for maintenance and finish work. Within just a few minutes, I had removed an amazing abundance of loose hair from the cat. We still have a long way to go and I have only begun to start on the actual matted areas, but I am impressed with both the quality and functionality of this nice comb. I've removed a few of the smaller knots and began picking apart some of the larger ones. I am confident that this tool will do the job and my cat (who is relatively skittish) is being very accepting. I can only assume that means I'm not hurting her with the deep combing and pulling. I will update the post with my final thoughts once I get her all straightened out.
