The coat-care routine for matting-prone dogs
She flinched, so you stopped brushing. The mats have been winning ever since.
It was never a love problem. It was the tool. Rounded on the outside for her skin, with curved blades inside that cut the mat, so the pulling stops and the coat stays on.

WHY IT STOPPED HURTING
It was never a love problem. It was the tool.
A flat comb yanks at a mat, and the pull lands on her skin. This one cuts the mat with curved blades inside each tooth, while the rounded outside keeps it off her skin.
THE MECHANISM
Every tooth has two faces. The outside is rounded, so it glides over skin without scratching or digging. The inside is a curved blade that cuts through a trapped mat instead of yanking it. She feels combing, not pulling, and the coat stays on her.
The outer face of every tooth is rounded, so it glides over skin without scratching or digging.
The 9-tooth side opens dense mats. The 17-tooth side lifts loose undercoat.
A ribbed grip that stays put when your hands are full of dog.
Sweep the teeth once and it is ready for the next pass.
TEN GOOD MINUTES A DAY
Three steps to a combed-out coat
No wrestling, no holding her still, no apology afterwards. Work in short sessions and stop while she is still enjoying it.
Slide your fingers under the mat and take the weight, so nothing pulls at her skin.
This one habit is what stops the flinch.
Short strokes at the edge of the mat with the 9-tooth side. The blades inside each tooth cut it, so you never need to pull.
Flip to the 17-tooth side and run it through once to lift the loose undercoat underneath.

THE DIFFERENCE
Not another brush in the drawer
The drawer full of brushes is not a shopping problem. Every one of them works the same way, and that way is the reason she hides.

The questions we get asked most
Not if you hold the base of the mat. The outside of every tooth is rounded, so it glides over skin without scratching. The inside is a curved blade for the mat, so keep the teeth moving through the coat rather than pressing them into her.
No, but go slowly. Work in short sessions and stop while she is still enjoying it, even if the mat is not finished. Most owners tell us the flinching fades within a week or two once the pulling stops.
Yes. Long-haired cats mat behind the legs and under the belly where it does not show. Use short, slow strokes, and expect to stop sooner than you would with a dog.
If a mat is tight to the skin and will not lift at all, see a groomer rather than working at it. This comb is for keeping a coat out of that state and for opening mats that still have a loose edge.
Most brushes are built to finish a coat that is already in good order. This one is built to open a mat without pulling, which is a different job and a different tooth shape.
You have 30 days after it arrives to return a comb that is unused and in its original packaging. Email info@coatandclover.com first and we will send instructions. If it arrives damaged or faulty, tell us straight away and we will put it right.
