Thread: De-mating without injury

Thank you both for your replies.

Candes - the sharp scissors scare me a bit because he figits so much - i use rounded end ones but the aren't very good at getting at the mats so I can understand why you use sharp scissors.

Howlinbob - The beard trimmers sound like a good idea. Having short bursts is what I am doing at the moment. He never used to get matts and doing it twice a week seemed ok but I think maybe now he is older I will have to grrom him more often like you say and keep on top of it. I can still feel a couple of largish mats under is left leg and so that is what I need to do next.

Has anyone used one of those de-matting tools bit like this one: Mikki Matt Breaker - Pet Supplies from PET SUPERMARKET the uk's #1 Online pet store

It has little blades on it to get through mats. Just wondered if it was worth ordering one. I going to look at beard trimmers now though!
