Dog Grooming

Dog grooming refers to both the hygienic care and cleaning of a dog, as well as a process by which a dog's physical appearance is enhanced for showing or other types of competition.

• Curry or curry brush: 

A tool made of rubber or plastic with short "teeth." They are more commonly used on dogs that have large amounts of shedding, like German Shepherds.   

• Shedding blade: 

A metal blade with short, dull teeth that is used to remove dead hair from certain types of harsh coats, as well as remove matted fur. 

• Slicker brush: 

A brush with fine, short wires close together on a flat surface. The pins are bent at an angle approximately halfway down the pin. For heavier and thicker coats, it is recommended to use a brush with stiffer pins. 

• Rake: 

Brush designed to penetrate into a dog's thick coat and remove tangles and dead undercoat near the dog's skin. Rakes are important grooming tools, especially for double-coated dogs, such as Newfoundlands or Siberian Huskies.

• Bristle brush: 

One of the most widely used types of brushes due to its versatility. Typically, the bristle brush is used on dogs with long coats to finish the coat and to bring out the natural lustre and shine. It is commonly used in daily grooming, as it removes surface dust and dirt. 

• Wire pin brush: 

Has an oval shape and metal bristles set in a flexible rubber base. Useful in separating and untangling the hair of long, wiry, wavy, and curly coated dogs. 

• Mat comb:

Designed to 'cut' matted hair from the dog's coat without leaving a bald spot.

• Stripping combs/knives: 

Tools used to help grab the longer hairs on a harsh coat and pull them out by the root. Helps maintain a proper coat in many terriers and schnauzers. Most often used on show dogs.
