Grooming

Grooming supplies: brushes and combs, nail care, shampoos and conditioners, drying towels and finishing tools.

Brushing

Regular brushing does more for a coat than any product, spreading natural oils and catching tangles before they mat. Long and double coats need it several times a week; matted coats are a groomer's job, not a home one.

Bathing and nails

Use a dog shampoo, never a human one; the skin pH is different. Keep nails short enough that they do not touch the floor when standing, and trim small amounts often rather than a lot at once.
