Collection: Pet Grooming

Pet grooming tools let you keep a dog or cat's coat, nails and cleanliness in good shape at home, between or instead of professional grooms. What you need depends on the coat: as a dog grooming kit, a short-haired pet needs a brush and deshedding tool, a long or curly coat needs dog clippers and a slicker pet brush. Regular grooming keeps a coat healthy and cuts shedding around the house. Think about your pet's coat type and how much grooming you'll do at home.

What grooming tools do you need?

Match the tools to your pet's coat and needs:

• Brush: a slicker brush for long or curly coats, a bristle brush for short coats, to remove loose hair and prevent matting.
• Deshedding tool: reaches the undercoat to pull loose hair before it ends up on your floors.
• Dog grooming clippers: for trimming long or curly coats at home, with guide combs for length.
• Nail clippers or grinder: to keep nails at a safe length.
• Grooming dryer: to dry a coat after washing.

What brush suits your pet's coat?

The right brush depends on the coat. A slicker brush, with fine wire bristles, works through long, curly or double coats to remove tangles and loose hair. A bristle brush suits short, smooth coats, lifting loose hair and spreading natural oils. A deshedding tool reaches deep into a double coat's undercoat, which is where most shedding comes from, pulling loose hair before it drops around your home. A comb finishes and checks for matts. Matching the brush to the coat makes grooming effective and comfortable, so choose based on whether your pet is short, long, curly or double-coated.

How do you clip a pet's coat at home?

Home clipping saves on grooming for long or curly coated dogs, with a bit of care. Start with a clean, dry, brushed-out coat, since clipping over matts or dirt pulls and clogs the blades. Use guide combs to set an even length, and work with the direction of the coat in calm, steady strokes. Introduce the clippers gradually so the pet gets used to the sound and vibration, rewarding them as you go. Keep the blades cool and take breaks. For nervous pets or intricate areas, a professional groom is safer. A brushed-out coat, guide combs and a calm approach make home clipping work.

Common questions

What brush should I use for my dog?
A slicker brush for long, curly or double coats; a bristle brush for short smooth coats; and a deshedding tool for the undercoat of double-coated breeds. Match the brush to the coat type.

How do I reduce shedding?
Regular brushing with a deshedding tool pulls loose undercoat hair before it drops around your home. Brushing several times a week during heavy shedding seasons makes the biggest difference.

Can I clip my dog at home?
Yes, for long or curly coats — start with a clean, brushed-out coat, use guide combs for length, and introduce the clippers gradually. For nervous pets or fiddly areas, a groomer is safer.

How do I trim a dog's nails safely?
Trim just the tip, avoiding the pink quick inside the nail which bleeds if cut. Do a little at a time, and use a grinder for a smooth finish. If unsure, a vet or groomer can show you.
