What To Look For In High-Quality Grooming Supplies

Look for high-quality materials and workmanship in professional dog grooming tools such as steel, brass and thoughtfully-crafted handles and grips for comfort and safety. High-quality, professional pet grooming supplies should be made with the best possible ingredients and be specially formulated for each pet’s needs.

Are Muzzles Necessary For Grooming Dogs?

Muzzles are not necessary for grooming if low-stress and positive reinforcement techniques are successful. If grooming is particularly stressful for the dog or he has a bite reaction, an owner and groomer may agree that the brief use of a muzzle at strategic times during grooming can be a safe option for both dog and groomer.

What Brushes And Combs Are Best For Grooming Dogs?

Look for combs with stainless steel, iron or chrome teeth that glide through hair to detangle, demat or to smooth for scissor cutting. Brushes are constructed differently depending on their purpose but all should have ergonomically designed handles for comfort. Look for boar or nylon bristles in a finishing brush and brass or steel pins in a slicker or dematting brush.
