Artero Apollo Long Blade Mat Breaker for Dogs

Break Down Mats and Tangles Without Damaging the Coat

The Artero Apollo Long Blade Mat Breaker helps you work through mats and tangles on medium and long coats before you reach for a brush. Nine long, serrated metal blades cut through matted hair from the base to the tip, breaking it apart gradually instead of tearing or pulling at the coat.

The cylindrical bamboo body lets you angle the tool to reach mats from multiple directions, and built-in finger rests help protect the blades, and your hand, during heavy mat work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Mat Breaker Used For?

A mat breaker cuts through matted or tangled hair before brushing, breaking mats apart gradually so you can remove them with less pulling on the coat.

What Is the Difference Between the Long Blade and Short Blade Versions?

Both use the same bamboo body and finger-rest design. The long blade version has 1.89 inch blades built for medium and long coats, while the short blade version uses shorter blades for tighter, more detailed mat work.

What Coat Types Is This Tool Designed For?

The Long Blade Mat Breaker is designed for medium and long coats.

How Should I Use the Mat Breaker on a Matted Coat?

Work the blades through the mat from the base of the coat to the tip, breaking the mat apart gradually, then finish the area with a brush.

Does the Mat Breaker Damage the Coat?

The serrated blades are designed to break mats apart in sections rather than tearing at the coat, which can help reduce pulling compared to brushing through a mat alone.
