Grooming & Paw Care

Dog Grooming Supplies and Paw Care Tools

Dog grooming supplies are tools used at home to keep a dog's nails, paws and coat tidy between visits to a groomer. This collection includes the PreciTrim dog nail clipper, the PawHush dog nail grinder, the PawNova dog paw cleaner, the PawVanta dog paw washer, the ZephyrGroom pet grooming vacuum and the TrimVelvet pet hair clippers.

Nail care

Dog nail clippers trim the nail by cutting, while a dog nail grinder files it down with a rotating head. Owners compare clipper size against the dog's nail thickness, the grip of the handle, and for grinders the power source and the handling of the device. Some dogs accept one method more readily than the other.

Paw cleaning

A dog paw cleaner or paw washer is used after walks to rinse dirt from the feet before a dog comes indoors. Points to compare include the opening size relative to the dog's paws, how the unit is filled and emptied, and how easy it is to rinse and dry after use.

Coat grooming

• A pet grooming vacuum connects grooming attachments to suction for collecting loose hair during brushing.
• Pet hair clippers are used to trim or shave the coat and are compared by blade type, power source and handling.

Coat type, dog size and the space where grooming takes place are the main factors when narrowing down the choice.
