The blade is designed to be safe no matter how much or how often you use it. It simply will not damage the topcoat or remove any healthy hair. Regular use will result in a coat that’s shiny, smooth and soft!

Also, allow plenty of thorough rinsing to remove all shampoo residue from the coat and skin to avoid unnecessary irritation. Grooming your dog involves everything from regular brushing, bathing to nail trims, ear and eyes cleaning, teeth brushing and even hair trimming and anal sac expression with some K9 breeds. Regular grooming not only helps your dog look and feel his best, it is also the perfect time to examine your dog for any potential issues with his coat, skin (like hot spots or lumps), teeth, eyes and ears and /or infections or inflammations. Remember, just like with humans, the skin is your dog’s largest organ and its health and condition are crucial to the overall well-being – and comfort – of your four-legged companion. A dditional Reading:This post focuses on the information necessary to make the best decision for the equine in your life. DO use lots of patience, praise and treats when trimming your dog’s nails.

She loves it and the amount of fur I got off of her was insane! Her coat immediately looked nice and shiny again. Even tried it on my short-hair cat and got a good amount off of him, until using this I didn’t even realize just HOW MUCH he sheds. I recommend this for every cat owner!

I cannot emphasize how much I need this product for my Havana mix rabbit. She has the silkiest coat of fur, so much that my HairBuster comb that worked great for my previous rabbit (an American mix) and on my fosters just slips through her fur like knife to butter, and doesn’t help remove most of her fur save for any big tufts. By that point, she’s shedding big time, and would be ingesting a lot of that fur—she’s a tidy little rabbit! The Equigroomer 5″ actually helps to brush out her shedding fur, both during molts and between them. The HairBuster comb works great for lots of fur loss, but on my silky rabbit whose coat is dense and smooth, the Equigroomer is a must.Did you know that a kitty’s skin is much thinnerand moresensitive to tangles and mats? In fact, out of control mats can hinder your cat from properly resting or even lying down in some positions without discomfort and pain. (A rabbit’s skin is also quite sensitive and fragile.) I just received the 5 inch Equigroomer for my boxer. I works wonders on him, I couldn’t believe how much under coat a boxer really has. This comb is gentle on the coat and it gives you better results then the Furminator. While there is no definitive rule about how often to bathe your horse, it IS critical to make sure the natural oils in your horse’s coat and skin are not stripped away with over-bathing. Bathing your horse too often will leave the coat dry and flaky and the unprotected skin prone to infections. Ermine: This describes a dark marking within the white marking above the hoof but also touching the coronet (coronary band) which differentiates it from a regular spot. DO use lots of patience, time AND confidence when grooming your dog! Dogs take their cues from us when it comes to them feeling comfortable and relaxed.

Brushing relaxes both you and your pet with this wonderful bonding routine. It also helps reduce stress (yours and theirs). Carding is a grooming term – and process – to describe the removal of a dog’s undercoat. The undercoat is the soft, short, downy and dense hair under the top (or outer) coat. The undercoat insulates and protects the skin in colder weather. As used by some of the top groomers in America, we are the U.K distributor of this amazing grooming tool. You won’t believe how easily this EquiGroomer removes your dogs shedding hair! The shedding tool will grab, pull and remove (or thin out) the dead or molted undercoat hair which may not fall out on its own with the warmer temperatures. Removing this heavier winter undercoat will also help your canine stay comfortable – and cooler – in the heat.Also, finding and using the right tool, like the EquiGroomer products, will help make the experience easier, gentler and stress-free for both you and your pet! My dog usually runs at the sight of a brush but he laid down and let me brush him with this brush. Just looked at it when I started brushing him and continued snoozing away. I love that I don’t have to try to scrape the hair out of the brush after. Our canines, felines, equines, rabbits (and other pets) depend upon us fortheir best possible life. A vital part of caring for their overall health includes regular grooming to maintain their overall comfort with healthy skin, a shiny and soft coat and new hair growth between bathing. I will give a tip to everyone, you actually have to push down on it harder than you think since the teeth are so small. I was afraid I was gonna hurt her but she did NOT care she loved it. Our EquiGroomer grooming toolsmake the experience pain-free, injury-free and stress-freefor you and your pet!

Before bathing – and in between baths – regular, deep brushing will help stimulate blood circulation in the skin, distribute natural oils throughout the coat and remove dirt, dead hair and dandruff. Regular brushing also keeps shedding under control. Always brush your dog just before bathing for the best results. Warm and sunny days are perfect for letting your horse dry naturally. Use a sweat scraper to remove/whisk away as much water as possible before thoroughly drying the entire body. ( See EquiGroomer “WaterWisk” scraper/squeegee tool here .) Then cover with a clean sweat sheet in case your clean horse decides to enjoy an enthusiastic roll on the ground! Kathy, thanks for your very important tip. The groomer definitely works better when you use pressure but so many people are afraid to press down. But when they do, they find their pets actually enjoy the feeling, just like your cat did.Also known as ACV, apple cider vinegar helps acidify your equine’s stomach for better digestion and mineral absorption. It even prevents intestinal stones from forming and growing (helpful with hard water or horses that ingest a lot of alfalfa hay). Skylar, thanks for the great review. When we say that cats love the EquiGroomer because the blade mimics a cat’s tongue, we really mean it! And that’s why so many cats approve! It works really well without any tugging or pulling on the coat or skin so all they think you’re doing is petting them which makes for a lot of happy grooming. If you have a horse that regularly shows or competes, you will likely bathe them more frequently, so they look their best in the show ring. If your horse does not compete, bathing requirements will be different. Daisy, thank you for your awesome review and for giving our products a try on both your dog and cats! Thank you, too, for pointing out how much better their coats feel once you remove all that dull, dry hair. Our groomers really do improve the quality of an animal’s coat, no matter the type.
