"This product is all it claims to be. It coats the knot so it can be gently pulled apart and combed out, with minimum discomfort to my dog."

— Detangler

"The pet head detangler was on back order for quite a while. When I finally received the product the lids were not on very tight and the bottles were only maybe half full plus the detanglrr just didn’t work as well as I hoped it would"

Bottom Line

Employees this great for dogs otherwise they may get uncomfortable, avoid if scent is a concern. Definitely worth a try if you have a dog with tangling issues, overall the effectiveness was really good.

7.2 /10
— Good
