Does this comb cuts the mat horizontal or vertical? I normally use scissors or clippers. How would this tool improve my dog's grooming routine?

You use this to brush your dog's hair like you would with a normal brush - it really helps to brush out the mats. It helps detangle the hair - without having to cut large chunks out with scissors. We have a long haired labradoodle and it's definitely a must. I've recommended it to several of my friends and they all love it.

If I understand your question correctly this tool is to De-Matt the hair/fur not to trim or cut.

It works vertically. It doesn't cut it out like you would with scissors. It cuts through the mat.

Yes, I have a dog with long thick hair. The trimmer cuts through it easily and evenly in one pass. Bathe and dry your pet first to keep the hair from sticking together. After use, just keep it clean and oiled. It is also very quiet which helps keep my dog calm. I have never had any problem with it.

Definitely! I use it on my elderly Persian to remove mats. It's much safer than using scissors. There's very little noise or vibration. She is not stressed out by their use and doesn't mind me using them on her at all.

If the comb is off. I had to cut mats off with scissors first then use the clippers to shave closer. My cats hair is fine..not like people hair!

Sorry, I'm not a groomer. Just my own pets. Hope someone else gives you an answer.

We have a yorkie and a Lhasapoo. Use a3 3/4 FC blade and the comb at whatever length you want. Hopes that helps.

Since I don't have a persian cat I can't recommend what would be the best trimmer ....The Wahl 9284 works well for my 2 small havanese. ...knowing how to groom is key and I am not at all an expert but with some practice and patients I managed to do ok.....if your persian is very matted you will need to use the groomer without any attachments and slowly trim down it is a process. ...I think you would be pleased with the wahl 9284.....good luck!!!

I have a basic stainless steel grooming comb, one end being larger than the other (you can find them here). The smaller comb side clears the brush side, whereas the larger spaced end cleans the wire side.

Olivia, I am the creator of Scaredy Cut and I think it's wonderful for you and your dog that you have a successful relationship with your groomer. If you are getting the grooming your dog needs and wants to be happy and healthy with the groomer then you really don't need to add to that with SCAREDY CUT or any other tool. If you do need to do some maintenance at home you could use SCAREDY CUT to do single cuts only, which would not involve brushing through the hair. Sincerely, Matthew Michel (877) SCAREDYCUT

I work in a grooming salon and all of my coworkers use a #30 blade with their clip combs. Between using the correct blade and brushing the dog out to make sure there are no matts you should have less problems.

Jackie, There are better products out there for long haired dogs and cats. I do own this tool but rarely use it any more because the curved corners on the bottom make it hard to get under mats that are really close to the skin. For those, I use the Safari De-Matting comb for dogs because it is sharper and there is less pulling involved. You just have to be more careful with the Safari tool because it has exposed sharp edges. I've scraped myself a few times, but never my puppy. the tips are rounded to wedge under the mat so it doesnt' hurt the pet. For the really thick and advanced mat, your best tool is going to be very sharp, pointed scissors that slice upward through the mat one slice at a time (do NOT cut straight across the bottom of the mat if you want to preserve some hair....poke through the bottom and slice straight up to save as much hair as possible) The multi tooth de-matting tools like the Mars and Safari are only good on fairly loose mats in the early stages of matting so that you don't tug on poor kitty or puppy's skin while trying to slice through.

I love this tool!!! It has made a huge difference and my hardwood floors that were usually littered with tufts are now a bit dusty! I do encourage one to use a gentle hand though and go over an area more times than trying to "dig" in and get it all. My dog is not accustomed to regular grooming yet lays there and enjoys my using this tool on him.

I can only tell you that for my Eskie (American Eskimo) that it works great for what I use it for which is mainly for paws and hygiene areas. Occasional un-detangable areas (which cuts through like butter ;) ). Everything else I use electric shears. They feel very well made and suit my needs perfectly and feel confident they will last a long time.

Coarse 5-in-1s work well under a comb. Fines work well for close work, (pads, sanitary). I use both blades, although I love the original Wahl Arcos I have been grooming since 1976, and am a CMG in both dogs & cats

I do not use combs with this trimmer, it has a very close cut, leaves no hair. I use this trimmer on my hairless Doug's face, as he doesn't like his face trimmed, and this trimmer is small, quiet, and the blade doesn't get hot as quickly in comparison to other trimmers. I think it did not have comb attachments when I purchased the trimmer. My hair stylist uses this trimmer for close detailed cuts on the back of men's necks.

The only way comb attachment can go thru any dogs hair is if it is completely matt free...if ur dogs hair has no matts these combs are perfect for cutting dogs hair to different lengths :)

I am using the brown sanding belt attachment that came in the kit. I believe there are three or so of those. Beginning on a low speed, after the dog adjusts, I can use the higher revolution for quicker trimming. Also, use some pressure against the nail and it works so much faster. Just beware the paw hair!!!
