By reducing shedding up to 90%, the FURminator® deShedding Tool enables you to share your home with your dog, without surrendering it to his hair. The NEW Long Hair deShedding Tool for Large Dogs is specially designed for dogs that are less than 51-90 pounds with hair that is longer than 2 inches. The long hair stainless steel edge reaches deep beneath your dog’s long topcoat to safely remove undercoat and loose hair, The FURejector button cleans and removes loose hair from the tool with ease.
Although the grooming tools that you use will be reflective of the dog breed that you have, I have found that there are a number of grooming tools that every dog owner should have, which will make grooming your dog much easier.
Number 5: A Dremel Tool
When I first found out that you could use a dremel with a sanding attachment to trim a dog’s nails, I was a bit sceptical. One, I thought it would be a bit of a nuisance to constantly pull out the dremel tool for this job. Two, I thought it would be much more expensive to constantly replace the disks and three, I thought there was no way my dog would allow it.Even still, I tried the dremel tool on my dog and while he didn’t enjoy it at first, he quickly grew to accept it. Personally, I found the dremel tool to be a dream and it made nail trimming go much faster and smoother. In addition, I never had to worry about cutting the quick and making the nail bleed since it would cauterize the quick immediately.So, for ease of use and the ability to create a nice finish on your dog’s nail, the dremel tool is definitely a must have tool that any pet groomer can’t live without.
Number 4: Furminator
This is a tool that you can live without if you have a dog without an undercoat, however, if you don’t, then this is really a tool that you should have. The furminator is a tool that looks very similar to an undercoat rake and its complete function is simply to strip away the dead hair that is found in the undercoat.While there have been a number of sceptics concerning the Furminator, the tool really does cut down on the amount of shed hair in your home if you use it properly and often. My only word of advice with this tool is to use it outside or in a room where the hair can be swept up easily because it does remove a lot of hair.
Number 3: Straight Shears
If you have a dog with a shorter coat, you probably won’t need straight shears at all, however, if your dog has any type of length to his or her coat, then these can be a lifesaver from time to time. I always recommend having a pair in the house to tackle anything that gets in to the coat and mats it to the point that it cannot be worked out with a comb. This will help prevent your dog from feeling pain and you can easily snip out the hair. In addition, it is perfect for tidying up the look of your dog around his head and trimming hair between his paw pads to prevent him from being uncomfortable.With straight shears, make sure that you always choose a pair that is designed for hair and make sure that you don’t use them for anything else. Also, for safety, try to purchase a pair that has a blunted end or a rounded end to prevent poking your dog.
Number 2: Ear Cleansers
While it isn’t exactly a tool, it is something that you should have in your dog grooming kit for a number of reasons. One, ear cleansers will help with cleaning on a regular basis. They are designed to help break down the dirt and they allow the debris to be soaked up much easier. Two, ear cleaners often have a drying agent in it. This will keep your dog’s ears from getting infections and will cut down on the amount of moisture in them. Lastly, ear cleansers often contain a small amount of medication, which is also beneficial to staving off ear infections.When it comes to grooming tools I can’t live without, this is definitely in the top 5, especially when I am grooming dogs with long, hanging ears.
Number 1: Dog Brush
It may have been obvious, but a good quality dog brush is something that everyone should have in their grooming supplies and I even recommend that you have two or three of them. The reason for this is to meet all of the grooming needs of your coat type. The more brushes, the better the finish and the more likely your dog’s coat will be cared for. The better your dog’s coat is cared for, the healthier it will be and will look.
And there are five tools that every dog groomer can’t live without.
Happy Grooming!

I am interested in dog grooming as a profession. I did a 1-summer dog grooming internship and enjoyed it. I did some grooming and a lot of watching.
Next, I talked to dog groomers and heard many complaints. Most say that they are way to busy and have arthritis or some other problem from working with their hands all day.
I would like to here opinions about this job from actual groomers or those that know a lot about the industry. Will I be dissappointed like so many others? Would dog training or boarding be a better career choice?

We’re going camping somewhere in Northern California for 4 days.I’ve cut her hair to about an inch long and she uses Frontline Plus. She’s a small dog too. Will I be able to see the ticks better if her hair is short? Should I bring her shampoo and other grooming supplies with me?

Dog Grooming Tools question by Mary R: Siberian husky grooming tools question.?
I adopted a wonderful Siberian husky back in March and I adore him despite the major shedding issue. I did my research and was aware of what I was getting into and wouldn’t change my decision if given the chance. He’s just such a great dog…there isn’t enough space here to descibe his great qualities. But on to my question, I comb him and also use a deshedding tool on him outside daily as well as vacuum my home up to twice daily (he’s an indoor dog, though we spend a lot of time outside together). His shedding is never ending or so it seams. My question is whether anyone out there knows of any grooming tools that might make life a bit easier for me in terms of time that I have to spend on his grooming? I use a comb instead of a brush because I get a lot more hair with the comb and it’s quite easy because he seems to love getting combed. My shedding tool looks just like the type used on horses and it certainly seems to do a good job. But I am wondering if there are any new grooming tools that I am not aware of. Ones that work well for huskies? Or maybe there are other things I can do? I’ve thought about buying food for him that claim to help shedding but I am doubting that they actually work. Any recommendations for me would be welcomed.
Answer by cracker42jacks Check out the Furminator, they are kind of pricey but work great on getting the undercoat out.
Also try suplementing with fish oil & make sure you are feeding good quality grain free kibble or raw diet.
