What product do you recommend to detangle my long hair cat. He gets these large mats that I often cut out with a nail scissor.

Other than brushing more often, there really is no other solution I have ever come up with. Sorry.

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 would recommend the FURminator.We have been using it for several years and just bought a second one for upstairs. At first you may need to still cut out some sections of matted hair,but if you use the FURminator every day day you will probably not need to cut the matted fur.

I have purchased both & there is very little difference between the both. the one for the long hair cat has comb teeth very slightly longer. I would buy the one for long hair.

I don't know. My cats both have medium-length hair and this was the first tool I tried and it didn't work for either of them. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I wouldn't use a curved scissor. The scissor quality is very good so buy a straight. Be very careful cats have very thin skin and can cut easily. Was groomer for years. If very matted May have to shave.

I only use clumping litter, but even then there is residue on paws that track. That is what this may helps to catch. I don't think it would matter if the cat had long hair.

I have not had any problems using this product on my dog. I just took a couple of days and let him get used to the noise etc. before trying to trim his nails. I suggest you do the same with a cat. Just let the trimmer slowly be smelled and examined by the pet and then let them hear the noise it makes before ever trying to trim the nails.

the Furminator works best on long-haired cats...just don't pull too hard as it pulls the skin.

My daughter has the same clipper kit and she uses this on her orange tabby. He's big and very very fluffy. It works on him, I'd consider him a long hair.

This type comb would work, but you might need it in a smaller size for your cats, depending on the density of the coat. I use this size on my dog but use the next size down for my cats that are part ragdoll and have the type of coat you describe. Any of the Andis combs have blunted tips on the comb to prevent scratching the skin.

Yes, That was the reason I got this item. It works ok - but could work better! but over all it does work. The cat has other ideas about sitting still for the mat removal - electric clippers are out of the question, so this is the best working solution, for now.

Just get the long hair one. They work very well and it should do fine on both animals.

I LOVE this for my short-hair cat. He always gets horrible mats on his back and this prevents them and breaks them up. He loves to have me use this on him. So does my long-hair cat who does not have mat problems. They don't like any other types of brushes or combs.

Does she have long hair? I would be concerned that it might hurt a little and scare her. All I know is I got it for my long haired himalayan kitty and she always tries to get away when I comb her. I am going to try the ShedMonster one instead. I really think it might work better for me. I wouldn't recommend it.

Long hair makes it a little tricky. As long as you don't use too much glue the glue pretty much stays inside the cap and it's not a problem. Our cat has very long hair and I've put these on singlehanded without much trouble but it is easier with and extra set of hands. You may want to keep small nail scissors near by, incase you do glue some hair.

Both my cats are 15 lbs or more with short, dense hair. I borrowed a short hair and long hair furminator from a friend and found that the long hair one worked better and reached more hair with less effort. I don't think weight has anything to do with your choice other than the large cat size furminator is wider and easier to use with less stress on the cat. Hope this helps.

No, these scissors will not work for that purpose. It would be best for you to untangle the hair first. I find the best way is to use my fingers to pull the matting apart, making sure not to pull on the skin. When the hair is almost untangled I go in gently with a fine metal comb, separating the rest of the matt. This does not alarm the pet in any way.

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.
