Excellent item for Pekingese and Persian grooming
»
This is an outstanding item for grooming pets. We have 2 Pekingese dogs and 3 Persian cats and they all tend to get fur knots from time to time...no matter how well we brush them. The seam ripper is the best tool to deal with this occurrence. As noted in the other review, you have to be careful when using it on your pets but the seam ripper is painless and efficient (if it is sharp).
My wife has always bought these at local hobby stores but they almost never have very many in stock or the right brand. The Dritz Deluxe Seam Ripper is perfect and we were able to order a good supply to last us quite a few months. Also, whenever my wife would go to Hobby Lobby or some other store to try to find these seam rippers, she would invariably end up buying some other item (that she thought she absolutely needed and I thought was totally useless)...now we do not have to worry about this because we have enough seam rippers to last a while.
I do wish that free shipping were an option from this online store given how many seam rippers we bought...still when we calculated the cost to buy the seam rippers locally at a store vs. what we paid from Amazon, shipping, and sales tax, we still came out a little better by purchasing these online.
Very happy with this product and I am certain we will buy more in the future.

De-mat your cat!
»
My husband and I buy Dritz Deluxe Seam Rippers a dozen at a time. I actually do use them for ripping out seams, but their main purpose in our household, is to remove hair clumps from our long-haired Maine Coon cats.
We've tried other brands, including the longer 'red' seam ripper and were amazed at the difference between the products. The 'red' model was too dull right out of the wrapper to cut cat hair!
The normal clump-removal tools that can be found in pet catalogues are too big and clumsy to use on a cat, especially for the matted hair that accumulates between the upper leg and the body (armpit? Do cats have armpits?). This seam ripper works perfectly to separate the mat from the skin.
There are two things you need to be careful of when using this product to de-mat your cat:
(1) Don't poke kitty with the sharp end of the tool. You have one seam ripper, but your cat has eighteen!
(2) Don't pull on the hair clump while you are cutting it away from the skin. If you tug at the mat, you might accidentally pull kitty's hide up into the razor-sharp crescent blade, and cut it.
We originally learned about this novel use for a seam ripper from a man who shows Maine Coons, and have been using it successfully for many years.
