Four Paws Magic Coat Professional Series Instant Mat & Tangle Remover Rake & Comb

Long-haired dogs get occasional mats and tangles, and this is my favorite tool for grooming them. My short-haired dogs like getting combed with this tool, too, even though they don't need the brushing like the fluffers. I have bought half a dozen of these, just so I can have one hand in my different cars and in the different houses we visit with our crazy lifestyle. My oldest "tangle remover rake & comb" is probably ten years old at this point, and still as sturdy as the day I bought it at a time I was buying every grooming tool I could find to try to cope with a collie-shepherd with foot-long hair. All those other purchases went to the thrift store as useless, but this design has done magic on quite a few different dogs with very different coat textures and hair length. I bought the smaller version rake/comb for my cat when old age meant her hair was starting to mat. She didn't like it much, but it helped where other grooming tools didn't.

My cat is a long-hair and very particular about being brushed. This comb seems to attack the potential mats and remove excess hair without pulling. Now we're both happy.

I did not feel this brush worked all that great- the bristles are hard metal and do not bend- not what a cat tolerates
