Part of dog owner's responsibility is grooming their furry friends! If you intend to do the grooming yourself,  it's best to start on the right track. To make things easier for you, get a good carrier or backpack where you can keep all your supplies in one place. Below is a pawfect list of the basic items you want handy when you go groom your 4-legged bestie!


(1) When you have more than one pet in the house, it may be best if you have a grooming kit for each pet. A lot of people may think this isn't really important, however, just like humans, dogs can quickly spread bacteria. If one of your dogs get sick, you need to make sure you keep their grooming gears separate as this helps prevent the spread of any diseases from one dog to another.







(2) Choosing the right brush to use for grooming is very important. You'll want to own brushes and combs that suit the type of dog breed. What works with one breed will not always work with another.This is also true if you have one dog with short hair and one with long hair. Longer haired dogs would certainly need a hair brush that can get down on their undercoat. Additionally, you'll also want an excellent slicker brush to help reduce matting. A short haired dog needs a much softer brush that doesn't hurt their fur and body and it's safer to use brushes that has curved tips on the bristles. 








(3) Your grooming kit should include a shampoo and a conditioner as you don't want your dog to use human soaps that might cause dry fur and skin irritation. You will definitely need to clean dog's teeth so be sure to include a tooth brush and tooth paste in your kit.















(4) If you are planning to trim your dog's toenails, trimmers and scissors will be necessary. Lots of people choose to have a specialist doing this job especially if their dog is really resistant to the process. In case of any type of accident, it is also advisable to have a styptic pencil or clotting agent available.










(5) Not only are grooming kits useful, they're also a vital part of trying to keep your dog healthy. Make life easy, put a kit in place and keep it loaded and handy.













(6) And the most important part of a great grooming kit is to ensure that you put goodies as treats for your dog whenever the grooming is done.
