Keep grooming calm and consistent
Short, regular sessions are often easier for pets than occasional long sessions. Let your pet set the pace and stop when they show clear signs of stress.
Start with a calm setup
Choose a well-lit, non-slip surface and keep treats nearby. Let your pet sniff the brush before you begin.
Brush in short sections
Work with the direction of the coat using gentle pressure. Check the brush regularly and remove loose fur so it stays comfortable.
Use the right tool for the coat
Short coats, long coats and sensitive skin need different approaches. Follow the tool instructions and avoid pulling through mats.
Clean and store tools
Remove hair after each session, wash tools as directed and let them dry fully before storing. Replace tools that become sharp, cracked or damaged.
If your pet has painful mats, skin irritation or unusual hair loss, stop grooming and speak with a qualified veterinarian or professional groomer.
