Whatever the breed of dog it will require some grooming. Whilst short haired dogs will require only occasional grooming, long haired dogs will require daily grooming.

A brush or grooming mitt will be needed to prevent the hair from becoming matted and to remove loose hairs. The type of brush required will depend on the breed of dog and type of coat it has. Long Haired dogs will require a stiff brush, whereas short haired dogs will require a soft brush.

Rubber Grooming Mitts fit over the hand allowing the dog to be groomed whilst firmly stroked.

Claws may require trimming from time to time with a pair of nail clippers.
