Matted fur

[RedHedd]

I use the MatBreaker

The cats don't exactly love it, but used carefully (you have to work slowly) it works very well to get the matts out quickly and gently.

You got this at Petco? I'm not sure if we have any around here or not. Maybe Pet Supplies Plus has it. It looks like it might do the trick. I do like the Furminator, though.

Yup, got the MatBreaker @ Petco. The sales assistant said it's the best there is. It works really well.

Well, the Furminator doesn't de-shed Smudge any faster than a loop blade followed with a slicker, but he sure enjoys it! He also wanted me to hold it steady while he rubbed a zit on it, which I still thought was better than whacking at said zit with his claws, so I went with it until my back said "ahem, you have to stand up straight now."

So - feels great, and certainly no less filling...

Love, Columbine

I had the same trouble with Brody until I discovered the Furminator. Not only is she mat free her coat is in lovely condition too
