I'm chuffed to bits having been recommended the Super Detatter.
It's a nifty gadget aimed at removing knots within long hair. At this stage I would like to point out that Lottie gets very few knots, however, she gets the odd one or two (mostly from getting wet in her harness). As she is such a fidget pants I really worry going anywhere near her with round end scissors especially without any help.
It cuts the knot without fear of nicking her skin and can be used at any angle. I can manage to keep the full coat effect without stressing Lottie if I do come across a small knot. Apparently you can also use it on rabbits and horses (manes and tails) and they launched it at Crufts this year.
PS - I hope this doesn't infer that I'm a bad Mum
for letting Lottie get the odd (very rare!!) knot but for those of you like me who sometimes struggles this is a great aid. I can imagine it would be great for rescue dogs!!
