Mikki Dog, Puppy, Cat Matt Splitter – Dematting and Detangler Tool – Removes Knots and Matts

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.

5 Steps to Grooming Success – By Mikki

The first step is to check your dog from top to bottom checking their ears, eyes, nose, coat and nails. This is the part where you should make sure there are no irregular lumps or bumps on their bodies and remove all ticks and fleas.

Grooming out is necessary to remove knots and tangles. However, if the dog is smooth coated gentle grooming products such as the grooming gloves come in handy, allowing you to gently stroke your dog down whilst spending some quality time pampering them. For long or double coated breeds any undercoat and moulting issues should be dealt with. You also need to eliminate any big knots or tangles at this stage.

Bath time! Lather up and shampoo your dog using a product designed specifically for their coat or skin type. This is where Mikki shines, boasting an extensive range. When bath time is over make sure you dry your dog’s coat thoroughly by blow drying on a low heat or leaving to stand dry.

Use the Mikki Scissors, perfect for trimming down and tidying up, to follow the style or ‘design’ for your specific breed of dog. Our Ear & Face Care Kit is perfect for trimming unwanted hair out of eyes and around ears to help keep them clear and infection free. The rounded tips offer extra safety when trimming around these sensitive areas. If your dog is wire coated, use a Mikki Stripping Knife to help you strip the coat and keep their wiry texture while tidying up their appearance.

Dogs aren’t usually the biggest fans of having their nails cut, hence the reason this exercise is often left until last! To avoid the risk of stressing them use Mikki’s Nail Clippers which have guards, ensuring you don’t cut too close to the quick. Finally use the Nail File to smooth any rough edges and complete your pet’s pawdicure!
