Highlighted Reviews

β€” Wildfl0wers

"This works AMAZINGLY for our long hair kitty. Missy really doesn’t make a fuss being brushed with this and it is amazing at getting small mats when she does get them from time to time."

β€” Useless

"This shedding tool is useless for my dog. His coat is too thick for this product. Very little of his undercoat came off. I wouldn't recommend it for a thick coated dog."

Bottom Line

If you have a long-haired pet or deal with mats, this tool is worth considering. However, for thick-coated dogs, you might need a more specialized product. Overall, it's a good tool for general deshedding but may not be suited for all pet types.
