Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This worked to get the top and undercoat as well as the furminator(? I think that's what it's called) and other brushes that I've used, except the hair is easier to remove. I was prepared to give this one a decent rating, even if it fell a bit short on getting the matted hair out, since it removed so much and got the knots out pretty good. Then, I remembered I kept reading people comment on short strokes. I didn't do it that way, because it seemed to me with long hair with mattes here and there (she's a long haired rescue who's hair suddenly knots up and dreads despite brushing it almost daily), that that would pull and hurt. Nope, instead of getting tired of it and me having to walk behind her still trying to brush, she actually laid on her back! I was able to do her stomach, as well. The short strokes (instincts are to brush through on the mattes to get them out, don't do that) worked the mattes away from her skin and they began to come out. I wouldn't do them all in one day, but I got out a bunch of tough knots and some of the mattes, already. Just short strokes going into the thick mattes til they're worked out, don't force them through. *No one gives me anything. I read a bunch of reviews and did Fakespot before finally buying one after looking at these a couple of times before.
