Rosewood Soft Protection De-Matting Comb for Dogs & Cats

Rosewood Soft Protection De-Matting Comb for Dogs & Cats

A bladed tool rather than a comb in the ordinary sense. The blades cut into a mat and break it apart, and Rosewood’s claim for it is specific: removing matting with minimal loss of coat length. Small teeth set between the blades collect the loose hair as it comes free.

That matters most on a long coat, where cutting a mat out with scissors leaves a hole that takes months to grow back. Code 07508, with the same moulded hand grip as the rest of the Soft Protection grooming range.

Performance & Benefits

• Blades cut into a mat and split it, rather than dragging it out whole.
• Rosewood state it removes matting with minimal loss of coat length.
• Small teeth between the blades collect the loose hair as it is freed.
• Aimed specifically at long coats.
• Ergonomic hand grip for control when working close to the skin.

Suitable For

• Dogs and cats with long coats.
• Mats behind the ears, in the armpits and around the tail.
• Owners trying to save coat length rather than clip a mat off.
• Keeping a coat on top of things between professional grooms.
• Not a de-shedding tool for a moulting double coat — the Rosewood Soft Protection Undercoat Rake is the right tool there.

How to Use

• Work on a dry coat. A wet mat tightens and is harder to open.
• Hold the mat at its base so the blades pull against your hand, not the skin.
• Take short strokes through the outside of the mat, splitting it rather than forcing through.
• Finish with a comb to lift the loosened hair clear.
• Wipe the blades dry after use.

Specification

• Rosewood product code 07508.
• Bladed de-matting head with small teeth to collect loose hair.
• Ergonomic hand grip moulded into the handle.
• Rosewood publish no blade count, blade length, overall length or material, so none is stated here.

Care & Caution

• The blades are sharp and this tool cuts. Keep your fingers clear of the working edge and keep it away from children.
• Never pull a mat tight against the skin — skin lifts into a mat far more easily than owners expect, and the blades will find it.
• A mat felted flat to the skin is a job for clippers and a groomer or vet, not for a de-matting comb.
