Time to ditch the rakes!


-They fray the fur, causing it to matt again even faster 

- They damage the coat, making it rough and uneven

- They can rip mats out harshly, causing intense pain and even skin damage. This pulls the hair out at the root - basically like waxing your cat’s sensitive skin

- They pull on mats rather than safely removing them

- They often cause skin irritation, sores, and potential infections

- They can cause bruising, especially on sensitive areas - They make cats fear grooming, associating it with discomfort and stress 

- And worst of all—they rarely work wellThese tools are not proper brushes, they don’t remove loose fur, and they certainly aren’t safe for de-matting.


Do your cat a favour: bin the matt rake. There are safer, kinder alternatives out there! Grooming should NEVER hurt!
