Detangling Hook


Detangling hooks are used to remove knots from the coat and to untangle twisted hair. Large mats should first be broken up with a mat splitter so that you can work through the fur using the detangling hook.

Tips for Coat Preparation Before Clipping

Before clipping, the coat must be thoroughly washed and properly de-matted to allow the clipper head to glide through the fur. (Unwashed fur can severely damage the clipper head even after a short clipping session)

  1. If the dog is a breed with an undercoat, remove the undercoat first—this works best with a Coat Master
  2. Shampoo twice, rinse, and optionally apply a balm.
  3. If mats have already formed, first break them up with a Mat Breaker
  4. Divide larger tangles using a Knot Cutter
  5. Remove smaller or split knots using a Detangling Hook
  6. While drying, brush the coat until a comb can glide through the fur
  7. Now you can begin the clipping

If stubborn mats are difficult to remove, additionally use a dematting spray, which helps loosen the mats and prevents new ones from forming.
