Below are 8 of the essentials you should have in your home. These are supplies professionals use when you take them to the groomer so you know these products will last a long time. If you have a dog that has special grooming needs make sure you research what they need before you start buying.
1. Flying Pig heavy duty stainless steal grooming table with arm – This table comes in three sizes so choose the proper size for your pet. The tabletop and feet are nonskid so you will not have your table moving or the dog sliding while you are trying to wash them. The arm has a loop to hold your pet while you groom them.
2. Waterpik Pet Wand Pro Dog Shower Attachment – Groomers and home groomers highly recommend this. It gives you more control over your dog’s bath because you can aim the water wherever you need while holding it in one hand and scrubbing with the other. You can use this attachment indoors or outdoors.
3. High Velocity Pet Grooming Dryer – This dryer makes drying your pet much faster and easier. It also comes with a ten-foot hose so that the machine and noise do not scare your pet because it can be farther away. It also comes with a filter and two attachments, so you can choose the best one for your pet.
4. Andis Professional Animal Grooming Clippers – Clippers are an item you need to not go cheap on. A cheap set of clippers may work but are sure to break quick or even worse get stuck in your pets’ fur. All the professionals recommend this brand because they are sturdy and last long.
5. Conair Pro Dog Nail Grinder – Nail care can be a bit worrisome. Dog groomers prefer to use a nail grinder instead of clippers because it will grind down the nail instead of a quick clip which could also result in cutting the quick. Dogs are also less stressed with a grinder than the nail clipper.
6. Andis Straight Shears – It is important to have a sharp pair of scissors when cutting your pets fur. Andis shears are stainless steel and durable. You can use them to trim around any part of your pet and get precision.
7. Slicker Brush – The wire bristles help get the dead hair and build up on your dog’s coat. This will help reduce the shedding and make your pets coat shinier.
8. Andis Steel Pet Comb – There are many choices of dog combs, however groomers recommend a stainless-steel comb. They are easier to clean and get through the abundance of dog hair. They are also very durable.
Whether you are a groomer who works from home or simply groom your pet at home these are items are a must have.
