Pet Republique Dematting Rake

This is a great de-shedding tool! Just got it today, and it works very well with my two large breed dogs who are currently blowing out their winter coats! I have a Golden Retriever/Aussie/Lab who leaves a trail of fur wherever she goes and a GSD, commonly known as a German Shedder. Sunny, my Golden mix was in absolute heaven with the rake, and it really works well. Aiko, the GSD isn't quite sure what she thinks of it just yet, but it really gets that undercoat dead stuff off!! She's extremely sensitive so it'll take her some time to trust the weird sensation she's feeling, but it really works great. It's an essential to have in your pet toolbox!! Great for behind the ear mats on your longer haired This is a great de-shedding tool!

Get one for your furry friends this spring and stay on top of the hair!! … more

I have 3 cats, 2 have had a hard time with hairballs. I give them laxatone & it helps a lot but wanted to do more so I bought brushes. I bought a slicker brush, furminator and this one. This one is amazing!!! It works for both my cats sooo well. I’m literally shocked at how well it does. I have one maine coon and I use the denser side for him and then I have a domestic short hair who has thin, short hair but a LOT of it and the less dense side worked great on him. I don’t know how or why but it’s the only brush I’ll continue using. Prior to buying them, I tried a brush just like this but made by another company and I thought it was great. Better than the slicker and furminator. I was hoping this I have 3 cats, 2 have had a hard time with hairballs. I give them laxatone & it helps a lot but wanted to do more so I bought brushes.

This picture was taken after I brushed each one for about 5 mins and I just brushed them the day before. WOW. … more

I have a Maincoon cat and if anyone is familiar, then you know they have an extremely thick undercoat. He's 15 years old and for all this time he's NEVER had an issue with matting or knots, not one, EVER. Well, cue 2021. For some strange reason he developed knots, patches of mats the likes I've never seen before on BOTH hindquarter flanks. It was unreal that one day he was perfectly normal and the next we had a knotted mess. I brush him twice a day if not more. But the Vet said he was getting lazy in his self grooming bk mommy was doing all the work and his coat didnt have that lickety spit shine it should have from him licking himself. So, being a good momma and wanting to encourage some I have a Maincoon cat and if anyone is familiar, then you know they have an extremely thick undercoat.

But the Vet said he was getting lazy in his self grooming bk mommy was doing all the work and his coat didnt have that lickety spit shine it should have from him licking himself. So, being a good momma and wanting to encourage some self maintenance behavior, I cut down on the brushing-for a short period of a couple of weeks. I can only say I probably NEVER should have done this. Well, brushing alone wasn't touching these huge chunks of matted hair. So I purchased this Republique Dematting Rake hoping for some serious help getting rid of these clumps. It. Did. Not. Touch. Them. It did thin out his undercoat in the areas on his back where he had no problem-that's why I gave it two stars. It DOES tug. Don't let anyone tell you the lie that it doesn't. He ran away in a hurry as soon as he felt the slightest catch! It doesn't cut the hair AT all. I basically had to give up and get the scissors and tackle as much as I could while he was distracted eating. But he soon wised up to this trick-he's a very smart boy about ALL the wrong things! Lol. So, I'm now looking for a brush to help me get his coat back under control bk this has been a nightmare for him and me! Don't let the Vet interfere in your grooming habits with your furry friend...I'm a cautionary tale! Heed my advice! … more

I have a long hair cat who’s undercoat was just awful. He doesn’t like being brushed to begin with and I had a hard time finding a brush for him and his 2 brothers who have short hair that would work for all 3 of them. This rake is magical. I think my baby lost some weight after using it on him and he didn’t seem to mind it, either!!! This also works well on his brothers and I got a lot more hair off of them as well. All in all, this brush is awesome and I’m very happy I found it

I have 3 cats, one Maine coon, two short hairs. I bought this rake to make de-matting my Maine coon less painful for him. All 3 of my cats are shedding winter coats, and this rake pulls loads of under coat with one pull!!!! My cats finally put up with grooming, and this rake is worth every penny to pull undercoat!!

I wish I knew about this sooner for my geriatric fat boy. He’s slipping on the grooming as he ages and hates being brushed, especially when mats are being worked on. This is so quick and gentle that with a little distraction.. i can get everything brushed out almost before he notices. Ended up with a giant pile of fluff in less than 5 minutes.

This works wonders on undercoat and mat removal. I used it as recommended and in small sections of my cat- I can not believe how well it works at removing mats. Our long hair rescue cat is outdoors about 50% of the day so he gets a lot of mats, especially during shedding season. Wish I had found this years ago!!

Love it..Works great I’ve never used one before and I used to be a groomer but we didn’t get a lot of cats anyhow my cat looks so much better and she’s so Chi Chi don’t really like when I do the back of her legs but I’ll tell you the product works amazing

I love this! I have a medium hair cat that has a problem with getting matted fur mostly between her back legs. This has helped to minimize the problem so much! She has always hated getting brushed but is finally starting to accept it now. The edges don't hurt her and she seems to like how it feels.

I can't explain what is different about this rake, but it is absolutely the best of the 3 tools I own. Works on my Malti Tzu and on my Pom. Literally, works through matts in a third the time as the other tools I have.
