How to BrushSafari dog grooming brushes and grooming tools are safe and easy to use. Brush in the direction of hair growth, from head to tail and then down the legs. Use flowing strokes, separating the hair as needed. To fluff the coat, brush against direction of hair growth. |
Brush CarefullyTake care to avoid removing too much hair at one time when using your Safari dog brush. |
Brush FrequentlyUse your Safari dog grooming brush frequently to help enhance the coat's natural luster, reduce shedding and encourage a healthy coat. |
Handling Tangles & MatsFor coats with mats or tangles, use a Safari Dog Comb, Safari Dog De-Matting Comb or Safari Dog Undercoat Rake to detangle the hair prior to brushing. Starting at the head, move toward the tail, then down the legs using long strokes that follow the direction of hair growth. |

Update (11-13-14):
This tool just became a lifesaver for us.
Long winded History and Situation:
First off, my wife and I went on our anniversary trip and left our parents puppy-sit out beautiful Samoyed. He had full range to run the farm (which is safely fenced in) with their playful dogs and was very dirty upon our return. Since they live out of state, our parents convinced us to take our Samoyed to the local Petco for a quick bath, saying they did good would on their dogs (all short haired). Before entrusting our Samoyed with the Petco groomers we explained their need to be dried and how they shred a coat immediately in warm bath water which can result in mats if they are not combed out immediately during blowdrying. They stated that they worked with Samoyed before and they would dry him completely without incident. Long story short, they took 4 hours to finish him (we had to pick him up when they closed) and it cost well over $100. Worse yet, he was still wet in his undercoat and looked like he had licked himself in aggravated areas. Furthermore, they must have only washed him without combing out the excess shed fur since his fur was matted all over his body. There were literally hundreds of mats (that is not an exaggeration). A Petco manager agreed he was poorly bathed and dried, and said they could redo him the following day, but would not refund us nor fix him then since the grooming staff just left. As such, quite perturbed, we drove home late and placed him in an inflatable cone/collar since he started biting at the areas. We noticed hot spots were forming (he was in pain) so I broke out the Mat Remover.
Outcome:
I spent 6 hours utilizing this tool to get the mats out while simultaneously blowdrying him since every mat was wet inside. After getting out the mats (which I cannot stress how great this tool was, much better than the larger version), I noticed one hot spot in particular was getting bad so we took him to our vet. Our veterinarian had to mildly shave the area, gave us medical ointments for treatment, and said this commonly happens with matted dogs that are improperly dried. We told her about our Petco experience and she said she had a similar case with a Sheepdog that had to be almost completely shaved down via the amount of hot spots it developed from matting. She further stated that many of these chain pet stores are utilizing shampoos that are great for quick cleaning of fur, but extremely irritating to their skin if not removed quickly. After showing her a before and after of our Samoyed on our phone, she stated that if we hadn't removed the mats in such a timely manner, our Samoyed might have had to be shaved to the same degree as the sheepdog's treatment. She was shocked at how poorly Petco did and was extremely impressed with how well the mat remover worked. Upon our visit today, to check on the hot spot, she showed us how she recently shocked her office with the tool and said it is working wonders for pet owner education. That being said, this tool is undeniably worth every penny and more than 5 stars.
Lessons learned:
1) we will do all our bathing from now on (like we always did prior).
2) we are buying more of this product to place in each car and dog bag since without it, we most likely would have had a completely shave our suffering dog bald for treatment of many other hotspots (very inhumane).
As mentioned in our initial review, you need to work slowly and kindly with this tool to avoid coarsely pulling out the pets fur (causing pain). However, if utilized properly, it can make a significant and humane difference in the maintenance of your fluffy friend.
This brush does a great job of cutting right through the matts and pulling out the tangles. It is also sturdy and has grip on the handle as well as a grip above the blade area for when you need to get in close or use with caution (like around the paws or ears). It seems very well built and hopefully the blades will last a while. The only I reason I don't give this a full 5 stars is because it can sometimes be a hassle to get the dead/trimmed hair out of the blades on this brush. It would have been nice if they built a retracting mechanisms of some sort - similar to the Safari Self Cleaning Slicker Brush.
There are a few things to keep in mind with this brush and using it to deal with matted areas of your dog's coat:
* The brush has blades, nested inside the curl of the brush head, and therefore you must use caution when getting close to your pups skin or paws. Between the blades there are dull metal "twisties" that seem to be there to further break up tangles. These will definitely pull hair out - as opposed to cut or thin out - if the area is really matted rather than just tangled. So you don't want to pull too hard with this brush or a matted area could just get ripped out causing some pain to your dog.
* Running the brush through out your dogs coat will thin out their coat and reduce the volume/body, this could be desired around their paws or belly if those areas often get matted but the brush is really meant for spot treatment of tough tangles and matts.
* I find it is best to isolate the matt with a grooming comb, then use this to thin the matt with the blades and ease the dematting brush out without pulling too hard. Then you can use a the grooming comb or pin head brush to finish off the rest of the matt.
* I always finish with a slicker brush and plenty of leave in conditioner spray. I usually use a brush spray while brushing and then finish with a leave in conditioning spray. This really helps to reduce the amount of matts my pups get aside from their usual trouble areas (paws and behind the ears) which always seem to get matted.
