Mikki Dog, Puppy, Cat Matt Splitter - Dematting and Detangler Tool - Removes Knots and Matts

Great product and works perfectly

It works pretty well on cats with small matts in their fur. If, like one of ours, the fur just naturally forms matts of impressive size, it tends to get jammed and tug and this particular cat (unlike her sister) is a tad nervous. But used with good judgement and knowledge of the cat concerned it DOES split the matt. So yes, I'd recommend the matt splitter with the cautions, I've given.

I hadn't realised this type of splitter was available. Having struggled for years with Cocker Spanials long ears to get the lugs out. It is such a good tool. You can split a thick lug as many times as necessary, to make jungle more manageable. You need to be careful not to force the point through heavy handed as I thick it would break. It is a tool you need to store safely as blade very sharp, as it needs to be. I would recommend. Just wish I had discovered sooner.

This is a total game changer! I have a long haired Cocker Spaniel who is always getting matts in her coat. I really didn't want to have her coat clipped, and this has solved my problem. So easy to use and takes the stress out of grooming her. I totally recommend this product. Such a simple solution but works so well! 😄

This is a nicely made, sturdy tool but my cats would have nothing to do with it. As some of their matts were well formed the sawing action I had to use, freaked them out. Never mind, it was worth a try!

Simple but very effective little pet grooming tool. Sits safely and unobtrusively in the palm of your hand until needed so doesn’t spook the animal. Almost impossible to cut the skin, and the blade is sharp enough to make easy work of removing knots, tangles and clumps.

I can’t say enough USE WITH CARE! It’s manual and it does break up matts - the blade is protected but you do have to be careful when using in awkward areas - I put a wide toothed metal comb between the matt and the cats skin

PLEASE DO NOT USE ON YOUR DOG's TAIL! We had a very bad experience with this tool, detangling a mat on our dog's tail. While pulling down, slowly through a mat, in parallel to the tail, our dog jumped, and the blade nicked his tail. At the emergency vet, we discovered that dogs have an artery in theirtail (which is why the bleeding wouldn't clot). A week on, and this has ultimately led to our dog needing a partial tail amputation. We are devastated. While of course, I take responsibility for using this on my dog, I reread all the packaging - and there is nothing about not using on tails. Given the location of the artery - I would avoid it! Ours went straight into the bin. Sorry Mikki, this tool may be effective, but it's not safe. Not worth the potential damage.
