Andis 65730 Stainless-Steel Comb for Knots, Mats & Loose Hair Removal - Effective Dematting Tool, Comfortable, Lightweight, Portable & Safe for Dogs, Cats & Pets – Silver, 7-1/2-Inch

Recently rescued a no-shed dog, not sure if she is a doodle or a poodle. . Poor baby was living outside of an abandoned house for who knows how long, and I had never seen such spectacular mats in my life - like every strand of hair was tangled in to every other strand so that it was just one really messed up, painful torture device. I surrendered and just named her Mattie so I could get going on the problem..The combs I had were bending and breaking off teeth, so I researched metal combs and settled on the ten inch 68545 Andis. It has a great weight to it and very sturdy tines, is well balanced and easy to hold on to. It goes through the hair well and doesn't bend when we hit a mat. Great size, teeth are perfectly spaced and rounded off so they don't hurt the dogs. Had to add that "S" since my other dogs are playing us really close as we work on Mattie's mats. They insisted an trying out the comb and I found out that it works great on smooth, straight normal dog hair too.We all like the Andis 68545 and I'm thinking I just might buy one for my husband..

I have a shih tzu puppy, and it's a high maintenance breed as far as grooming goes, so I did my research on good grooming products. After watching some youtube videos on shih tzu grooming, I found they both used this type of comb, only by a much more expensive brand name. I decided on this Andis brand comb after reading the reviews and seeing that others were satisfied with this product more than the more expensive brand.After getting the comb in the mail, I tried it on my shih tzu puppy. It's easy to handle, and gets knots out easily without hurting her. The fine end was good for her face and paws. This comb made her look very nice and fluffy.I also have a golden retriever, that sheds A LOT. I originally had no intention of using this comb on her as I have a special shedding comb for her, but thought I'd give it a shot. It worked AMAZINGLY!!! The round tongs went through her fur smoothly, while picking up all her extra undercoat. Shedding combs are usually very sharp and abrasive, not to mention take forever to get all the extra hair. And it seems like I never get it all. But this Andis comb picked up all the extra fur easily, didn't scratch her, and made her coat look beautiful and freshly groomed when I was done. Not only that, but the comb held on to the extra hair, and was easy to clean off, instead of sending clumps of hair every where like the deshedding comb does. I'm very satisfied with this comb and will be recommending it to all the dog lovers I know!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great comb

Comb is strong and the teeth are long but don't bend. I have a 1yr old Siberian kitty going thru her first seasonal shedding. The brush I have been using daily just didn't go deep enough to break up the mats and snarls but this does a great job. She enjoys getting combed and brushed. Hoping I can keep her mat free with daily care.

A friend who is a dog groomer suggested this type of comb for my Doxidoodle who mats so easily. I've had to shave her down not being able to keep up with her constant matting. 😪 Now, with this comb, I have easily been able to come out ANYTHING that starts up w her matting. It's pretty big and wish I would have gotten a smaller length but it still works well and she doesn't mind me combing her either. This is a first! Now I can let her hair grow out again si she doesn't look like a peeled onion. Pics are with her shaved and with her pretty long hair now.

I have a long-haired cat. Because her fur is so long and fine, the hair frequently gets twisted and tangled up into mats. Because it's been such an ordeal trying to keep her mat-free, I've been looking for a good comb to brush her hair out. I happened to find the Andis Pet 7 1/2" steel comb after researching and cross-checking the reviews among their competitors. I like this one the most because it's well made: the teeth of the comb are rounded and have not bended and warped on me with use.Although my cat doesn't love it, she tolerates me combing her when she's calm and mellow. I love that this comb separates the individual strands in all of her fur. With daily brushing, I've found that this is pretty good at keeping the mats at bay. I would recommend this to any cat owner with a long-haired cat, particularly a cat with very fine, tangle-prone hairs..Be careful when using this comb, however. It's designed to separate the hair away from the skin, which is why it tends to hook into mats. If you pull at the comb stuck into the mats, you'll pull at your cat's hair and skin leading to an angry cat. I try to isolate the mat as well as I can between the length of my two fingers (pretend your fingers are like scissors and hold the mat in between your fingers away from the skin, like you would hold a cigarette) and pick at the mat using the teeth of the comb in short strokes. With patience and sometimes a little olive oil as lubricant, the mat will release itself.

I have been searching for something to use on our Golden Doodle. We have tried quite a few and they either pull and upset her or they just don't work. I bought this and a rake and between the two I am SO impressed. She laid right down and let me tug away at the mats she had. I felt like it was pulling but she didn't even flinch. We got more fur from her in such a short amount of time than I have using anything else. Highly recommend! The comb worked much better around her ears and tail and just in general. Very sturdy and feels good quality l, looking forward to having this comb where the twines don't twist and bend and become useless!!

I own a sheepadoodle with longer hair. This comb is great. All the other combs have teeth that bend out of the socket or even fall out, but not this one. This comb stays steady even when pulling out the strongest knots. The teeth do seem a little sharper than the cheaper combs I've owned. The strength of the comb means that it's usable even for small knots.
