I'm considering getting one myself. It is supposed to take care of matts.

If you are referring to "The Furminator", it works well at removing extra hair.




But it didn't really do a great job on mats.

Also, it seemed to ruin the texture of MC Bubba's coat so I only used it on him twice.




Second pile after two weeks was as big as the first...

It's tough to get the mats.

I use a blunt pointed scissor and chop them off without getting close to the skin or taking too much unsnarled hair and then comb out the leftovers after a few days.


It's good that MC Elvis is extremely placid...
