Designed to cut through tangled & matted hair. The tapered guide penetrates the tangle and allows the blade to cut the hair. Brush or comb the area to be treated – this will help locate the genuine matts.
Use a sawing action with short strokes for effective cutting – never force the Matt Splitter through matts as this will cause discomfort to the animal and is less effective.
Use a Mikki Grooming Comb to clear the loose hairs.
Always keep Matt Splitter level with the skin to avoid digging in.
Keep Matt Splitter upright and at right angles to the skin – avoid having it at a slant.
Avoid using the Matt Splitter on sensitive areas where there is loose or folded skin. Never lift the skin into a “peak” when cutting as this can result in serious injury.
If in doubt use clippers or scissors with care. If your pet is extensively matted seek professional help.
