Dematting pets has been a controversial topic in the pet industry and with good reason. Dematting causes further damage to coats that are already in bad shape from being tangled, can cause irritation or even injury to the pet’s skin, and, most importantly, is painful to the pet.
Groomers joke that a 7F blade is the best dematting tool and that one-liner is based in truth when presented with large areas of tangled coat, but having the skill set and tools to work out small areas of matted fur without injuring the pet is a must.
