5 Must’ve Grooming Tools
5 Grooming Must Have Tools consist of Large Double Sided Brush, Curved Nail Clipper, Slicker Brush XL, Undercoat Rake & a Detangling Comb. Here’s how to use these tools:
1. Brush & detangle with Large Double Sided Brush
Designed to remove light tangles, this brush smoothens the coat and moves oils from the skin down to the hair shaft. Safe for everyday use, this brush is recommended for short, medium and long coats.
Directions to use: Brush with the grain, starting near the skin and brushing out. Begin with the pin side of the brush; finish with the bristle side. Avoid putting too much pressure on dog’s skin. Brushing often keeps the coat manageable and mat free.
2. Make nail clipping easy
with Curved Nail Clipper
Designed to trim nails effectively, this Nail Clipper with stainless steel blades also features a safety lock. The Soft Grip Handle gives additional comfort while clipping the nails and this is recommended for both large and small breeds.
Directions to use: Stand next to the dog and curl the paw under so you can see the pads of the foot. Firmly grasp the paw and locate the end of ‘the quick’ by finding where the dark pigment ends and the lighter creamy colour begins. Trim a small amount of the nail at a time, avoid cutting off the tip of ‘the quick’.
3. Brush, deshed, detangle with Slicker Brush XL

mat free.
