Hertzko Dog & Cat Mat Remover

We got this because our older cat had some terrible mats in his medium length hair and he wouldn’t let us use other brushes to get them out. He would get angry and run away. In a few sessions with this brush, we had all the mats out! Works great! We now have a happy cat!

My cat had matted hair near his tail and it seems to be in three layers. This tool combed them out without any problems. It took me a few times to gently comb as I chased the cat around the house and got swatted a few times, but it did the job! L-O-V-E it!!!

I have a long haired cat that has lots of knots and tangles in his fur. This product claims it is sharp enough to comb right through the fur without pulling. As soon as I tried combing through his fur, it got caught and stuck in the first knot. It was a small knot that I wanted to test on before moving to the bigger knots. Even in the areas where there are no knots, the comb pulls on the fur as I comb through. I could tell by the whipping tail my cat was getting irritated with it. Oh well, another product that failed the dematting test.

My only complaint is that I am right handed and the direction of the blades seems like it is for a left handed person. Otherwise it works good. My kitty is a tough one to get to let me, but, while he does, it works!

We bought several different tools to get rid of our cat’s knots on his back. This one worked okay, but seemed to hurt my cat more than some of the others, which were less expensive

My cat has so many matts, this Hertzko mat remover tool helps a great deal. I love this thing, it's easy to use. Its also very safe for the pet, and i would roll it under my cats matted fur, and it cuts from the bottom, and its very subtle. There is no way to accidentally harm the pet. I was not cutting hunks of hair quickly. It's still a slow process, so my cat doesn't get irritated, and she doesn't get bothered by it overall. I pet her and talk to her while im doing it, I definitely recommend this quality tool, for de-matting.

This is an excellent tool for removing mats of hair on long-haired cats. My Norwegian Forest Cat, with three thick coats of hair, had multiple large mats that couldn't be removed with combs, regular brushes, or by hand. I was considering cutting them out, but found this tool in Chewy's online catalog. It is amazingly easy to use and quick with the removal of six mats.

This product has NO cutting capability at all. It’s just a weird looking brush. I don’t even know how I would sharpen these if I wanted to. If you want to tug on mats till your animal gets upset, this is great. If you want to cut out mats, stick with scissors, I guess.

Didn't budge long hair cat with mats. Probably ok for minor knots in short hair.

My cat Fred has a very fine white long haired coat prone to tangles and mats. This tool is great for helping to quickly remove those tangles and clumps especially under the belly and on the flanks. This needs to be done as part of a grooming routine. It won't help a great deal if the animal hasn't been groomed in years. I love this!
