Hey there, guys.
I'm having some trouble with our DLH, Sophie. We haven't kept up on her brushing (it's not the easiest things to do with her, since she can become VERY grouchy, though that's still no excuse..) and now quite a bit of the hair on her back is tangled and matted, and she won't let us sit down and work on the mats for more than five minutes. We've recently had a few people and cats go to the ER's, and so we're still finacially recovering from that and don't -really- want to take her into the vet, since our vet charges....a lot. =x
My mom has a -human- hair clipper, which she wants to use, but I am very wary of us doing it ourselves with this ancient thing. I've suggested many times that we just go out and buy one from Petsmart or somewhere similar, but the parents keep balking at the thought of spending more than $30.
Then I went online to find maybe an even cheaper, but nice, clipper. I found some brushes that claim to be mat detanglers or mat removers.
Here's some of the products I found and was interested in:
"Instant Mat and Tangle Remover"
http://www.petsupply-store.com/4-paw...er-p-2653.html
"Mat Remover Rake Mini"
http://www.petsupply-store.com/mille...ni-p-1145.html
Can anyone tell me if these types of tools really work?
THANKS.
