A complete grooming kit will contain brushes, combs, clippers, and tools to help you care for your dog's nails, ears and teeth. Consider why you will be grooming your dog. If you plan on showing your dog, you will need a wider variety of items in your grooming kit. Discuss grooming with the breeder you purchase your dog from or with your veterinarian.
Some breeds require special grooming.
Buy a grooming table only if you will be showing your dog. Purchase a grooming comb with fine and coarse teeth. Buy special nail clippers for dogs. Consider an electric nail clipper, which is easier to use than a manual one. Keep in mind that you will need a toothbrush and dog toothpaste.
