Grooming Tools
The best tools to use when grooming your dog are:
Dog Grooming Cages
One of the best ways to clean your pet is to use dog grooming cages. Dogs jump out of bathtubs and make a mess all over the bathroom.
With dog grooming cages, you eliminate the mess, keep your dog secure, and the cleaning as quick as possible.
Dog Washing Gloves
Dog washing gloves or dog bathing mitts make bath time easier and are specifically designed to groom your dog as you bathe them.
Shampoo
Choosing a dog shampoo that is organic will not only eliminate illness from harsh chemicals, but will keep their coat smooth and clean.
If your dog is constantly scratching themselves and they don’t have fleas, it may be that their skin is dry. Try applying a moisturizer or conditioner to their fur to relieve their discomfort.
Brushes
The best way to groom your dog is to brush their fur before and after you bathe them. Brushing your dog will remove debris and excess oil from their fur. It will also keep their coat smooth.
Pin brushes are one of the best dog grooming tools for dogs with thick or long fur. These brushes have bristles with little pins on the top and were designed to protect your dog’s skin so you can apply more pressure when brushing through a thicker coat.
If your dog has coarse or curly fur, try using a dematting rake. Dematting rakes are more durable than a dog brush and are made for thick, coarse coats.
If your dog has short fur, try using a soft bristle brush for the best results.
Dental Care
Brushing your dog’s teeth is an essential part of their grooming process. If possible, brush their teeth every day with a toothbrush that is specifically designed for a canine’s teeth.
If you’re unable to brush your dog’s teeth daily because of time constraints or the hassle, try using dental bones. These bones not only taste good to your pet, they remove tartar build-up and prevent bad breath and other dental diseases.
