Mars Coat King Double Wide Dematting Undercoat Grooming Rake Stripper Tool for Dogs and Cats, Stainless Steel with Wooden Handle for Thick Coats, 23-Blade Stripper for Groomers, Pet Owners

Well worth the cost
I was very skeptical when I received the comb. I thought wow $40 the others were $5 $6 well throw the five and six dollar ones away. I have a Great Pyrenees who absolutely loves to run through burs and brambles and they get stuck in everything under her little armpits all under her belly in her tail and I thought well I have tried every comb and brush in my box which was 10 of them and I bought the Mars dematting comb ran it through her fur and the burs came out effortlessly, the other Combs and brushes I had to literally pull her hair out or take scissors and trim not with the Mars you just brush it through her fur it’s beautiful and she loves being brushed with it and she did not like being brushed with the other combs. Her big sister a mix breed Australian shepherd border collie who gets this undercoat that comes out in clumps in the spring this comb did wonders on her coat. I give this five paws. Both my fur babies love being brushed with it. I highly recommend it don’t be discouraged by the price it is a very good comb and well made.

Best Golden Retriever brush I’ve found
Easey 5 Stars for me. This is the best brush I have ever used on my Golden Retriever. I wish I got it years ago. It glides through her hair easily and pulls out a lot or hair. My dog loves it like a back scratcher – it doesn’t pull hair like other bushes. I filled two shopping bags in15 minutes and the dog looks great. Feels like a well made tool of wood and stainless steel.

The Jury Is Still Out
UPDATE 07/28/2024I switched over to the Mars Coat King double-wide brushes, 23- and 30-tooth versions, and they have been night-and-day different from the original small version. These work.They are not miracle workers! Don’t expect them to detangle the mats without some additional effort before you begin. I need t use a wide-toothed rake and a comb to get started, and these do the finishing work.In spite of the furry little idiot splashing in the creek every day, I can keep him groomed for three months now. Before, he had to be professionally groomed every three weeks if I didn’t want him clipped.As I commented earlier, the initial problem was my fault – I had the wrong tool for the job at hand – and it had nothing to do with these brushes. They’re great.—————————————————————————————————————————UPDATE 05/12/2023The seller contacted me through Amazon and offered to make it right, which is amazing, but I declined their offer. I tried to make sure everyone understood my problem was using this tool on an Australian Shepherd with long, “crinkly” hair, and his coat probably contributed to the tool tugging on tangles. In my opinion, that’s not the fault of the tool itself.I won’t change my three-star rating for the effectiveness of the tool with MY Australian Shepherd, but I cannot recommend Oliver’s Pet Care’s customer service more highly. They’re fantastic folk.—————————————————————————————————————————I live with an Australian Shepherd. Aussies have a dense undercoat they shed year ’round and I’ve tried every undercoat rake and comb I could find to keep him well groomed, but still need a professional groomer once each month to keep him from becoming one big tangle.Then I tried these Mars de-matters. They’re almost great. Nothing I’ve used before now has done one-tenth as good for removing loose undercoat. They’re fantastic as an undercoat rake.So far, they aren’t as great with tangled or matted fur. The hype about tools like this claims they’re gentler on the dog when removing or de-tangled their hair, but so far, after four brushings, I don’t think that’s true.He likes being brushed. He likes it a lot. But he’s not happy when I get to work with the Mars de-matting tool.I’ve watched videos of how to use them and I’m pretty darned sure I’m doing it correctly, but even in areas where there are no tangles, these drag through his hair and I can see how that would get old real quick.Maybe I’ll get better with it over time, and his coat is much softer and fluffier after using this tool, but I won’t testify that it’s gentle on him, tangled hair or no tangles.Australian Shepherds do not have silky hair. Their coat is almost the exact opposite of silky, and I have no doubt that’s part of the reason the Mars de-matter drags through is hair and tugs on it more than I expected it would.I’m fence-straddling by giving it a three-star rating, neither positive or negative. It works great (five stars) but it tugs at his hair (one star) when I use it. Your mileage may vary.In spite of the downside I’m experiencing, this is a solid, very well-made tool and it does it’s job of removing his undercoat before it can form a mat. I’d recommend it, especially if, like me, you live with a fuzzy, hairy dog who loves to leap into any kind of water he can find every chance he gets.

This is what all dog brushes should be
Holy Heck does this thing work!!! My buddy turned me on to this and I was very skeptical as it had a large price tag. We had been using the furminator for years with our golden. This brush (I have no idea how they do it) works 10x better! It is expensive, but this is a great example of you get what you pay for.Be careful though, it works so well, you need to know when to stop otherwise your dog will have very little hair left hahaaIt is worth mentioning that it does not pull the hair hard and is not painful to the dog. Our golden loves getting brushed with it. 10/10 reccomend

I’ve tried numerous brushes and found them all good but this is ridiculously good. All this came out very easiest and quickly and in rush her every night with her old brush! It’s sturdy and feels like it’ll last forever. Very impressed.

My dog hates grooming but this tool DOES NOT HURT her and is brilliant at removing uncomfortable undercoat and loose top coat, bet thing I’ve bought for her in 11 years. Wish I’d found it earlier.

works amazing- Lab cross Dog–
