Dematting tools for dogs

I have two shih tzu’s and I admit, I had put off taking them to the groomer because it’s been so cold, I didn’t want their hair short.  But, I learned a lesson when I did take them to a groomer and an expensive lesson, too!  Because I hadn’t taken the time to at least comb their hair, they had developed matts in their hair which cost me extra at the groomer’s for her to remove them.  I also found out from the groomer that matts are ideal for fleas to migrate to which causes your pet unnecessary licking and biting which in turn causes more matts!  What a vicious cycle.  She recommended daily or at least weekly combings with a high grade metal comb or rake.  I took her advice and found that it really does make a big difference giving my dogs a weekly combing with dematting combs  and I take care of it while we are  just sitting watching tv when we are all relaxed!
