Mars Coat King Original Dematting Undercoat Grooming Rake St

Don’t go for anything else. Works great.

I probably have the only Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in the world who doesn't like being brushed, but that's probably because I don't do it often enough, which means he gets lots of little matts, so his fur gets pulled a lot whether I brush him or rake him. Then what happens is that the matts get so numerous that I end up having to have him professionally groomed, and his fur ends up shorter than I would like because of the matts. My cavalier also has thicker, curlier fur than some other cavaliers, which makes brushing difficult. I bought this on the recommendation of a lot of other cavalier owners who swear by it. I had looked at the Furminator but was turned off by the cost and mixed reviews. Between the great feedback from other cavalier owners and the almost perfect rating here on Amazon, I decided to go for it. I just received it today and immediately sat down to use it on my Winston. He usually welcomes the opportunity to sit in my lap but ran like hell because he must have seen a brush-like object in my hand. I can't use treats to coax him because then I'll have our four other dogs in our faces, stressing Winston out even more. My husband had to grab him and cuddle him while I started on his back, which I figured was the safest place to start. After a couple of minutes of working on Winston's back, he realized that this process wasn't going to hurt and turned into his usual trusting, lovebug self. He laid on his back and his side and happily let me groom him! The Mars Coat King got out all of his excess fur, including lots of little knots, without much effort at all! I couldn't believe how little pulling I had to do. In about fifteen minutes' time, I had a little bag of fur about half the size of my 22-lb Winston, and his fur looks wonderful! I tried it on our newest rescue, a cocker-cavalier mix with lots of matts in his ears (that were there when we adopted him). We wanted to give this a try before sending him to the groomers to shave his ear fur down (which makes me sad), but all the Mars Coat King did was pull his ear fur and make him squeak :( So this will not work on severe matting, which we expected. Poor Alfie is off to the groomer tomorrow. If you're like me and don't have the time to brush your dog every day, all day, this is the tool for you! I loved that the fur didn't go flying all over the place and stayed stuck in the blades until I pulled it out, which was really easy. Every time I've brushed my dogs in the past, I've ended up with a pile of fur plus little fur-tumbleweeds all over the place. Not so with the Mars Coat King. I'm a believer and see myself using this regularly! I can't wait to see how nice his fur will be with long-term use, and I imagine he will need to see the groomer a lot less often.

Does an excellent job without harming my sensitive coat cocker…it gets tempting to use everyday to cut down on shedding in house, but that is not good for their ability to regulate temperature. They need some undercoat to protect from heat and cold. So not an everyday tool but very effective when used.

This is the greatest brush of all time for our kitty who HATES to be brushed. We adopted what we thought was a shorthair brown tabby from the HSUS, but it turns out she was just unhealthy. Once on a healthy diet, she developed a ridiculously thick coat of fur with multiple layers... our vet is pretty sure it's a ragdoll mix. Our kitty is a terrible groomer and prefers to rip chunks of her fur out instead of keeping her coat clean on a regular basis. After years of trying brushes, this is the only one that we can use on her in a 1-2 minute time frame (usually while she's sleeping) that actually makes a difference. Within that time we can remove at least a tennis ball size of fur, if not more. Don't hesitate to spend the extra money on this brush - it's so worth it.

Best de matting comb! Works beautifully on my mini aussie
