Our review
The Maxpower Planet grooming rake has 57,000+ reviews at 4.6 stars — one of the most popular pet grooming tools on Amazon with 20,000+ bought per month. The double-sided design has 9 teeth for dematting on one side and 17 teeth for deshedding on the other — same concept as #186 (Pat Your Pet) but a different brand with even more reviews.
A reviewer with 50+ years of grooming experience calls it 'the best dematting tool I've used in 50+ years' — better than every other rake he has tried, and he has tried them all. Another removed a kitchen-sized garbage bag of German Shepherd undercoat in one session. Works on dogs, cats, and even donkeys.
The teeth are sharpened enough to cut through mats but rounded to avoid scratching skin. Non-slip rubber handle. Extra-wide head covers more area per stroke. Claims to reduce shedding by 95%. 79% five-star.
The downsides: 2% one-star — the sharp teeth require gentle use to avoid pulling. Not suitable for sensitive areas (legs, joints, belly). Requires technique on heavily matted coats. And similar products exist at similar prices. But with 57K reviews, 20K monthly buyers, and a 50-year veteran's endorsement, this is the gold standard deshedding rake.

FAQ
How is it different from Pat Your Pet (#186)?
Same double-sided concept with 9/17 teeth. Maxpower Planet has more reviews (57K vs 42K) and is #2 in its category. Both work excellently — choose either.
Will it hurt my pet?
The teeth are rounded but sharpened. Use gentle, steady strokes in the direction of hair growth. Avoid sensitive areas like legs, joints, and belly.
Does it work on mats?
Yes — a 50-year veteran says it breaks through mats that other tools cannot handle. Work slowly through severe mats rather than pulling.
Can I use it on cats?
Yes — works on cats with medium to long hair. Use the 17-teeth deshedding side for general grooming and the 9-teeth side for any tangles.
