Not sharp enough to cut through mats. I touched my finger to the blades, not sharp at all.

Works ok, but isn't very sharp, probably should have spent more to get a better one

This is a godsend! Sturdy, comfortable to hold, and most importantly it gets under my long haired shepherd's 4-inch fur to get the undercoat loose. With this brush and some diluted apple cider vinegar, we are finally keeping the dreadlocks at bay. Best of all, she likes it a lot more than any other brush we've tried. The other kinds, including a straight comb type and the Furminator, pulled on her fur and she would writhe and cry. Now she sits pretty peacefully for a grooming.

...especially for dogs with really thick fur (we have Bernese Mountain dogs). Works really good when they start shedding their winter coat.Be careful, though... points on tines are kind of sharp. I filed them flat and then rounded them off a bit.

This is an excellent rake - i have multiple rakes for my GP but this year she just didn't want to fully blow her coat. This tool seems to get the chunks of hair out easily (although I'm not fully done yet). I just got it today and have halfway groomed her with a yard full of hair. However, the reason I gave it a 3 instead of 5 is the rake metal part came out of the handle in the first 30 minutes. However, I pushed it back in and learned that if i keep my finger between the center it holds it in while grooming.

I recently started grooming our 65lb standard poodle. Her fur is very thick and prone to matting, even with regular brushing. The slicker brush only seems able to deal with the shorter areas, but this tool will cut through all of her matts easily, regardless of the length of fur or amount of matting. The teeth are quite sharp and will pull through the worst tangles she has. But the ends are blunted, so there's no risk of cutting her skin in the process. The overall design is very sturdy, and it works well from an ergonomic standpoint. Overall, this is the most essential of all the grooming tools I own - I literally could not groom my poodle effective without it.

Excellent de-matting tool. I used it on our extremely large Great Pyrenees and our small Schnoodle. Both dogs responded favorably. This tool did an excellent job. Our Pyr can often get mats on his backside. It can take a colossal effort to groom his rear fluffy hair and long fluffy tail. Nothing we had worked to groom this area without a struggle and an unhappy dog. After some research, I ordered this tool from Amazon AND it is amazingly wonderful. I was able to completely comb the dog out in no time. It has a thumb rest which makes grooming easy on the wrist. A slow steady hand with a sideways motion while holding the comb worked best for safely. I would never want to rake the comb across the dogs skin. When a mat is encountered, sliding the comb back and forth while gently pulling through the mat worked best for us. We are veteran Pyr owners and this is the tool I have searched for to easily deal with thick dog hair and mats. And, our Schnoodle also tolerated grooming tool

I have one of these at work I use. I wanted one for my personal use. These work so well for mats. I love that the one side is flat and the other is sharp. It is super easy to use, even if you don't groom like me and use it for your own dog. It works on every type of hair and pretty much every mat. You still have to shave the mat out if it's really close to the skin but that doesn't happen with regular grooming. Again I recommend this if your dog has long hair and you don't want to spend money for monthly grooming.

I purchased this for a long haired cat who likes to just bum around.His hair likes to mat up do to his activity, so I retaliate with giving him a brushing every week or so. the Blades are positioned nicely to prevent hurting his skin.I'd recommend anyone in a situation like mine with a lazy long haired cat.I also tell you to stay away from it if you're cat has to serious of mats, like maybe multiple or to large.I gave it a 4, it prolly could have gotten a half if amazon had that feature. It serves its purpose and seems sturdy enough to not be replased.only con Is can tell so far is maybe it needed to be sharpened... I could probably use a small file (not the computer kind LoL)
