A Groomer's Perspective During Seasonal Changes
As we come into the spring season, I’ve seen first hand how important it is to use the right products on your pets.
Whether it's the perfect shampoo for their coat or the ideal brush for their skin, the products you choose can make all the difference and will help keep pets clean, comfortable, and smelling good when coming in the house from outside.
While exploring 2025 trends, I want to share why I swear by the brushes I use and what I found works best for different types of coats this spring season!
Something to keep in mind, if your pet is wearing clothing it is a good idea to brush them when you take their clothing off to avoid matting and discomfort.
Why Brushes Matter
Choosing the right brush or comb is just as crucial as picking the right shampoo.
It’s easy to underestimate the power of a really good tool, but the right one can transform your grooming routine and your pet’s comfort.
The De Shedding comb for cats and dogs is crafted with an easy to hold, anti-slip handle and dual-length stainless teeth, making it a groomer and pet-approved tool!
Say goodbye to an unwanted undercoat and hello to a well-groomed coat and a healthy pet!
Prevent Mats and Tangles
Regular brushing is key to maintaining a healthy coat, especially for long-haired breeds.
A good brush helps prevent mats and tangles, which can cause discomfort and even lead to skin irritation.
I recommend slicker brushes for most long-haired breeds, as they effectively remove loose hair and detangle without pulling at your pet’s skin.
This goes a long way for cat and dog owners to maintain their coats throughout the seasons.
For shorter-haired pets, a simple bristle brush does wonders for distributing natural oils, keeping their coat shiny and smooth.
This 9-blade comb rake is perfect for detangling and dematting your furry friends.
It is suitable for use on breeds with medium to long-haired coats, especially helpful for coarse or long hair.
Massage and Relaxation
Brushing isn’t just a grooming necessity—it’s also a relaxing experience for your pet. Many of the brushes we use and sell are designed with rounded tips that gently massage your pet’s skin while you work through their coat.
This not only promotes circulation but also creates a bonding moment between you and your pet.
After all, who doesn’t love a good massage?
A massage brush is the perfect grooming accessory, designed to not only give your dog a massage but also help remove loose fur while rejuvenating the oils in your dog's skin and increasing circulation.
Reduce Shedding
Shedding is a natural part of a pet’s life, but regular brushing can help manage it by removing excess fur before it ends up all over your furniture.
A high-quality shedding brush can help remove loose hair and dander, reducing the amount of shedding and keeping your home cleaner.
Plus, it’s great for your pet’s health because it removes dirt and debris that can accumulate in their fur.
Supporting Your Pet’s Grooming Routine
As a groomer, I’m always happy to recommend products that will help your pet’s grooming routine at home and the products I use at Classy Canines.
I love using quality shampoos and brushes that I trust with my clients, ensuring that your pet gets the same care and attention at home that they would in our salon.
These products work together to support your pet’s coat, skin and overall comfort.
