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.
Grooming guide -
Always keep Matt Splitter level with the skin to avoid digging in (fig.1) Keep Matt Splitter upright and at right angles to the skin – avoid having it at a slant (fig.2).
Avoid using the Matt Splitter on sensitive areas where there is loose or folded skin. Never lift the skin into a “peak” (fig.3) 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.

Your pet's claw has blood vessels known as the 'quick'. It is important that you do not cut into this area. It is easy to locate the quick on animals with light coloured claws.
For those with dark coloured claws it may be easier to locate the quick by looking on the underside of the nail - however if in doubt seek the advice of your vet or pet groomer.
Hold your pet's foot carefully and ensure that you are in complete control before starting to trim the nail. Begin cutting in one smooth action. If you are unsure, only cut off a small amount at a time.
Keeping your pet's nails trimmed is essential for good care and grooming. If you pet is particularly nervous or dislikes having their claws clipped, try using a Mikki Nail File.
