Does it help with matting on long haired cats?

My long-haired cat's coat has never been matted. However, the brush does a thorough job of removing the undercoat hairs. I would think that if the coat is not already M-BAR (matted beyond all repair) the brush will do a great job keeping the coat unmatted. Laurel

For the past 2-3 years I've been using a Zoom Groom on a cat with extremely thick and dense fur, and she loves it .... even during the first use when her coated was extremely matted. It did take longer than it would have with a conventional metal brush which this cat would not tolerate.

If the cat is already matted I'm not too sure this would work well, however, it may be useful to prevent matting.

The tips are rounded, so I would think it shouldn't scratch your cat's skin. I use this for my husky and I do groom her head where there really isn't much long fur/coat. She doesn't get irritated by it.

My vet recommends it for my long haired cat. And my cat tolerates it - barely.

I have used this product on my dog who has very fine hair that tends to mat around his feet and legs and it works very well. If the mat is too thick however, I do have to cut some off instead. Nevertheless, I think it is a good product and would work in helping to prevent matting also.

yes. It does fine. I also have a long hair cat and it picks up beautifully.

I thinks so, although I have not used it on a large matte. Time, patience and a de-tangler should do it. Always worth a try.

My 3 cats are part maine coon and this works wonders on them! They actually really like being combed now. I get my cats groomed and the groomer recommended it it me, best advice ever.

I use mine on my long-haired cats. I would suggest you consult a breeder of Red Bone German Sheppard's on what they use and suggest you use.

It did not work very well on my long hair cat. He has extremely soft hair with no mats. He just needed a summer trim and it really didn't work well.

I have a cat and she has a lot of hair. You find her hair on the furniture, the beds, the floor...all over the house. This has worked great for picking up her hair. The only thing is that the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser´s charge doesn´t last long. You have to charge it every 15 minutes. I am very happy with it.

I have 4 Maine Coons-- haven't used it yet (no "cling-ons" as of yet). Have heard be very careful with any clippers as cat skin is very thin. I did buy this for my Maine Coons though and plan to use it when necessary. Shaved butts are really much easier with long hairs. I usually have vet shave them when they do annual dentals. Hope it works for you, probably will.

Daily brushing is what you need to do to avoid the mattes. This won'tBreak a matte apart that would hurt the pet. Get a long hair large cat furminator and brush 2-3 times a week. Focus on areas that get matted. You can alsoTrim their hair in rhise areas toAvoid kitty dreadlocks. KeepThem groomed and you won't wind upWith the hassle.

I just tried this on a lightweight micro-fleece top. It did remove dreaded cat hair but it also removed some of the nap. I would try it on the back first to see how it works for you. If you also want to remove lint or fur from blankets, rugs or sturdy upholstery, it does the job.

As a certified groomer, ! don't recommend using these shears to remove mats. You risk cutting the skin. Cats will bleed profusely.

I have a white long haired cat and he sheds plenty. I bought the Black & Decker vacuum because of that. For me, it works wonderful for pet hair and always use the tool on board that is meant for just that purpose. Happy cleaning!

After use the fur will usually become "matted" into the glove. I am able to peel it off starting at one end. The fuller the surface becomes the easier it is to peel off the fur. I always use long slower motions with the glove and find it does a great job removing loose hair and I would think undercoat. My cat seems to enjoy it since this glove allows more of a 'petting' feel rather than a combing and/or brushing would.

Yes I have 2 Ragdoll cats and the comb works great on both cats !!! However my Male Bicolor seems to have a thicker coat and I need to also use a rake on him Not sure why his fur is different was bought from a breeder without papers But his fur will get mats if I don't keep him combed through my female is silky smooth The comb is the best purchase I have made for grooming I also have Chinese Crested Powder Puffs with long hair WORKS GREAT !!!!
