Thread: Maine Coon Grooming Basics

I just use a metal comb but I have to be careful as it's pretty unforgiving and they don't like it when it snags in a lump of fur. I use it little and often so it stops the mats from forming in the first place. I do find that if I comb them holding the comb at an angle, tip downwards, it does drag out a lot of the thick undercoat. I wonder if this is what the Furminator does? I've got slicker brushes etc but none of them get through the whole coat like my trusty metal comb.
