ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a tool for effective removal of mats of hair in the coats of fur-bearing animals. The tool is particularly effective in removing mats from long-haired dogs, while preserving most of the original hair in the original length. The tool consists of a handle and a set of blades suitable for cutting and combind the mats. The blades cut the mat into narrow strips in a single operation, while tines attached to the blades rake or comb the uncut hair in the strips and remove the cut hair. The blades present a smooth, non-cutting surface to the animal's skin, and provide for easy removal of the accumulated hair from the tool. The animal's comfort and the required grooming time are improved, as compared to prior grooming practice.
