Do you have a pet dog at home? Irrespective of their breed, dogs are regarded as man’s best friend and hence, grooming our dog in a proper manner right from day one is very crucial. For this, you will need some dog grooming equipment like brushes, clippers and blades, combs, and so on. The list is simply endless when we talk about the various types of dog grooming tools that are readily available in the market. To know more about each of these grooming tools, just read on.

• Brushes: Brushes that are available for dogs are mainly of three types. They are slicker, bristle and wire-pin. Slicker brushes are suitable for those dogs which have a thick undercoat. On the other hand, bristle dog brushes are very handy and you can use them for styling your dog’s hair. Moreover, wire-pin brushes which may or may not have bristles tipped with rubber, are suitable for dogs which have thick coats.

• Clippers and Blades: As far as blades and clippers are concerned, the pet lovers have their own tastes and preferences. Some of these models are available with snap-on blades which can be changed very easily. However, there are others which need tools for changing the blades. These snap-on blades are very user-friendly and have made the task of dog grooming much easier.

• Combs: Combs for dogs are found in a wide range of styles as well as sizes. The dog combs which are readily available in the market include medium-toothed, wide-toothed and fine-toothed combs. You will also get dog combs which are a combination of all these three varieties of combs. Medium-toothed combs are usually multi-purpose combs. On the other hand, wide-toothed combs are ideal for dogs having thick and heavy coats and fine-toothed combs are meant for dogs having soft and silky coat.
