Dog grooming tools are essential to maintain the coat of your dog and have them looking and feeling fantastic! As a top dog groomingPenrith business, we have found that there are 3 grooming tools that are essential for your pooch:

Brushing and combing is necessary to get out those tangles and add shine to your dog’s coat. You will also find that they love the process! You will need:

• A brush: a slicker brush is a great all round brush for your dog – but you willalso need a curry brush for short haired dogs or a pin brush for long haired dogs.

• A comb:a medium tooth comb will suit most dogs. For thin haired dogs use a fine-tooth comb. For thick fur use a wide toothed comb. Use a flea comb as well, to remove fleas and detangle matted hair.

How often you trim your dog’s nails depends on how active your dog is and their breed. An active dog will actually wear down their own nails and the nails will need trimming less. We recommend that you have our professional dog grooming Sydney business groom your dog for the first time. We can then assess how often you need to trim their nails.

Nail clippers come in different sizes for different sized dogs. You can use either scissor or guillotine styles. Choose one that is most comfortable and easy for you to use.

Ensure that you use the right shampoo for your dog! There is a wide range of types on the market including natural chemical free shampoos, medicated shampoos to help with allergies and gentle oatmeal shampoos. Always use a shampoo specifically formulated for dogs – not your own shampoo!

As a general rule, your dog should be bathed once per month. 

There are many dog grooming tools on the market. The above three are essential to keep your dog’s fur shiny and knot free, and to stop their nails from splitting. Grooming your dog regularly is not only enjoyable for them, it is also necessary! Contact Penrith Pet Parlour, your professional dog groomers Sydney area, for all your pet grooming needs.
