Coastal Pet Safari Dog De-Matting Comb – Serrated Stainless Steel Grooming Tool for Dogs with Medium to Long Hair – Keeps Coats Smooth & Soft – One Size

It WORKS !!!!
I could not wait to be asked to review this product. I originally stayed away from the safaris brush be cause I figured for the price range it probably work, boy was it wrong. First of all when I first was looking for a dematting brush I opted for a two sided dematter which worked great as a brush to get the loose and dead hair out, but when I found a serious matt I resorted to my scissors to cut through the matt or just simply cut it out because I could not work through the matt with the dematter brush. Then I was watching a grooming video and noticed the groomer going to the safari dematter to remove a bad matt. It got my attention did a little more research and decided to give it a try. My pup, a mini Goldendoodle has a coarse coat which matts pretty quick if I don’t brush and comb her often. I had found a pretty bad matt in her armpit which I had attempted to remove a few days earlier. As soon as I received the safari tool I went to work, I really was astounded at how easy, painless for both me and my pet, and how well it broke up the matt with no real pulling just cutting right through the matt. I cannot say enough about the Safari dematting brush and would highly recommend it to anyone, this is a great brush.

3.5 to 4 Stars–Good to use, needs alignment maintenance
I used the The Safari De-Matting comb in conjunction with the FURminator to remove matted hair and knots in my English Cocker Spaniel’s coat. It worked reasonably well, but the blades went out of alignment after 1 use–admittedly, the amount of matting was excessive and difficult to get through. I also used the JW Pet Company GripSoft Dematting Rake Dog Brush briefly and found that the JW is a solid product compared to the Safari.A few points of comparison: Safari vs. (JW)The Safari has 9 (10) blades spanning 4 cms or 1.58 inches (6 cms or 2.38 inches), blade thickness approximately 0.5 mm (1 mm), gap between blades: 5 mm or about 0.2 inch (6 mm or about 0.24 inch).In the first session of de-matting for my Cocker Spaniel–Soul, I used this in preference to the JW as it looked easier to handle and not as sharp bladed as the JW. However, both devices have sharp blades and need to be handled with care.The downside of this otherwise 4 star product is that the blades got pushed out of alignment by about 5.5 mm from the horizontal after the first dematting session. The blades are fixed to a central spine with steel spacers locked in by a single hex nut. The gripping of these was not adequate to handle the force of being pulled through the mats. Other than that this is a serviceable device with the blades needing alignment adjustment from time to time. (I do not know the ease or otherwise of such a procedure at this time.)I did a detailed review of 3 best tools/techniques for de-matting pet hair in my review of the FURminator, (order fulfilled by Amazon). There is a confusion and profusion of suppliers of the Furminator–many supplying the same model but at very different prices–I chose a product listing by ‘Furminator’, where the order was sold by a supplier other than Furminator, but fulfilled by Amazon. (You can see my review of the product and description for the Furminator reviewed, by clicking on the ‘see all my reviews’ link next to my name above.)The JW Gripsoft De-matting Rake/Safari and the Furminator make a good combination for pet grooming. A rotating steel pin comb and bristle brush and slicker brush would complete most coat grooming needs. (I have just ordered a Master Grooming Tools Steel Teeth Pet Rotating Pin Comb, Medium and Coarse, 7-1/2-Inch. )

IT REALLY WORKS!!!!!
This is a must have with any long hair animal that gets knots in their fur.

It works
I have two Shih Tzus and don’t have much time to detangle their fur. This tool works, but you need to know how to use it properly to avoid hurting your dog. I went from spending an entire afternoon brushing my dog to doing it much faster. I highly recommend it.

This dematting comb is exception to use on my Alaskan Malamute male.My boy loves being groomed, so this one will feel a little different for him.It is essential when using this comb you follow the instructions* PLEASE BE AWARE THIS COMB IS SUPER SHARP*The comb itself has a few prongs and extremely comfortable to use on my dog. Please do not go in heavy handed, this has to be a good introduction with grooming. So many sellers all over sell products that are not suitable to my lads hair.This comb if you are reading this has excellent reviews for the type of comb it is. My Mal is 6 years old and my first Malamute. They are a lot bigger than Husky’s and built to pull cars and trucks. As a working dog, he needs to be groomed 2-3 times a week and can take 1-2 hours if using this style of comb, then using a slicker brush and undercoat rake. Mals have two coats to get through, and blow their coat 3-4 times a year, resulting in three large bin liners a year.It is of the upmost importance to buy the correct tools. I hadn’t, I figured the tools all the same, but they are not.What I can say the amount of under fur or dead fur, this tool is excellent, it is so tough, doesn’t hurt the dog if used correctly.For the ultimate grooming you will need this tool, plus a decent slicker brush and undercoat rake.So if you have a dog that is super hairy, has more than one coat, then this is for you.So worth the money, and the best I have used in over 40 years of grooming my rescue dogs.Because of the sharpness, there is a good fitted plastic case that press studs over the sharp toolIf you feel unsure, please don’t be, this is the one what hairy dogs need, the hair afterwards is pure softness and detangled.Excellent tool and I highly recommend 100/10⭐️Thank you to the seller⭐️I hope my review helps you.
