Do any of you use these? Do they work? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes they work. They are good to use on difficult matts. They do have blades on them so it does cut through the hair but they dont lose that much and its never been noticable after I use it on Jewels

Thank you. That's what I was hoping to hear. I've done pretty well keeping mine brushed out but I let them wear jammies too long during a recent cold spell. Now Murphy has two patches that I've had no luck unmatting. I'm going to give one of these combs a try before I resort to hacking off chunks of hair.

Dont take the comb straight through the matt it will hurt your dog. Hold the hair just beneath the matt closer to the skin in your two fingers and bring the matt through the comb. It will keep you from pulling on the skin

Well I bought one on the way home last night but I think I'll wait until tomorrow to try it. It looks scary!
