Yesterday a number of people asked about two of the grooming tools I was using for getting undercoat out during shedding season, as well as mat removal. Here are a couple of sources: Petedge (https://www.petedge.com )has two tools very similar to the Oliver Slant Comb that I used (you can also find the Oliver comb on eBay every now and then). I think the first one is the closest to what I was using. https://www.petedge.com/zpetedgemain/catalog/productDetail.jsf?area= <https://www.petedge.com/zpetedgemain/catalog/productDetail.jsf?area=&sort=R A&wec-appid=PEDM_WEBSHOP_TR&page=72A214C22827430A9795247F1BF064D6&itemKey=00 5056A633791ED2B5864A943AB9CFB3&show=12&view=grid&wec-locale=en_US> &sort=RA&wec-appid=PEDM_WEBSHOP_TR&page=72A214C22827430A9795247F1BF064D6&ite mKey=005056A633791ED2B5864A943AB9CFB3&show=12&view=grid&wec-locale=en_US https://www.petedge.com/zpetedgemain/catalog/productDetail.jsf?area= <https://www.petedge.com/zpetedgemain/catalog/productDetail.jsf?area=&sort=R A&wec-appid=PEDM_WEBSHOP_TR&page=72A214C22827430A9795247F1BF064D6&itemKey=00 5056A633791ED390BB36C289B368B6&show=12&view=grid&wec-locale=en_US> &sort=RA&wec-appid=PEDM_WEBSHOP_TR&page=72A214C22827430A9795247F1BF064D6&ite mKey=005056A633791ED390BB36C289B368B6&show=12&view=grid&wec-locale=en_US and several of these are good for getting at mats: https://www.petedge.com/zpetedgemain/catalog/home.jsf?area=PMGT-01-04 <https://www.petedge.com/zpetedgemain/catalog/home.jsf?area=PMGT-01-04&sort= RA&wec-appid=PEDM_WEBSHOP_TR&page=2363A0D2C50B47B085F14DAAF7AE3DF9&show=12&v iew=grid&wec-locale=en_US> &sort=RA&wec-appid=PEDM_WEBSHOP_TR&page=2363A0D2C50B47B085F14DAAF7AE3DF9&sho w=12&view=grid&wec-locale=en_US Another good source is Cherrybrook: (http://1omt.net/www.cherrybrook.com/ ) They have a page with "rakes and mat combs" http://www.cherrybrook.com/index.cfm/a/catalog.catshow/catid/213/cname/Rakes _and_Mat_Combs And for custom size grooming tables at a great price, contact Richard Donnay at tberesford@meltel.net Chris Plum 5452 Kimberly Rd Minnetonka, MN 55345

I would highly recommend the Mars double wide coat king. I got the 18 blade on amazon and absolutely love it!

Hi Elizabeth, I have a Mars combing tool but have not used it much. It seems to pull out the undercoat and guard hairs. Do you recommend using a coat moisturizer with it? It was pricey, so If I could get some tips I think I would use it more often. His undercoat seems to have matted in places and wondering if I should snip those parts out first?

Well I'm not an expert by any means, but I have spent a lot of money on brushes and combs and shedding tools and dematters that have been recommended to me at pet stores and I think I have finally found that these four items that I use on my dog are the best for me. For mats and sticky pine sap and burrs and things like that I use the Safari and for helping her with her shedding I use the Mars coat king. just for general grooming I used the comb and this amazing oblong shaped brush made by Chris Christensen and it's a number 20. the coat king can be pretty aggressive so when you use it you just have to use a little restraint. But it works amazingly! I could not believe how good it worked last fall when she was beginning her fall blowout. I was a little scared at first after I used it on her because it did remove so much of her undercoat but her winter coat came in beautifully. I hope this helps. Good luck!
