This is a necessary tool for anyone showing Old English Sheepdogs. Use it sparingly to get out small matts or at the end of grooming to smooth chest coat and paws. Can be used for teasing head coat as well.

Pros: Finishes coat on most show breeds

Cons: none

This is a much needed tool for working with any long haired breed. Have used this on Old English and now on a standard poodle. Wide teeth are good for breaking up some fine matts.

Pros: Use it for breaking up some matts

Cons: teeth can bend

Love to use this comb on both our Golden and our Wegies (cats)...great for getting out tangles and for general combing. The Teflon coated one is better for static season.

Pros: Great for tangles and just plain combing out!

Cons: None!

We've had the same comb for 15 years - it was recommended by the breeder. It works great for detangling and then with a pin brush for our bichons

Pros: works well

Cons: dogs don't like it

My vet used this on my senior cat. The mats came out like magic, and the cat didn't seem too perturbed. Much better than those tight brushes.

Pros: takes out matted fur with very little stress to the cat

Cons: hard to find at retail stores
