    Hello, I adopted a collie/terrier mix a few months ago and I have an absolute struggle keeping her from looking disheveled and matted. I brush her a few times a week but only hours after she looks bad. I know you don’t typically shave these dogs so what would be the proper way to groom her? I...

    Hi folks - I live in Suburban Massachusetts where they only dog most groomers know how to groom is a labradoodle. I have a Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen, who is supposed to look like the picture (it's my dog's Mama). What the breeder failed to tell me when I got him is that his coat is supposed...

    Hi everyone, I just had a quick question in regards to my Bernese Mountain dog and her undercoat. She is just over a year old making this summer the first one where she is experiencing shedding. I typically use the Oster Combo brush on her coat, which has a side for the top and undercoat, and is...

    Nougat is 1 years old. Hes a shih Tzu/ Bichon mix. I took him to the groomer on Saturday Morning 04/24 and was told that he was matted. His normal groomer is on maternity leave and so I scheduled with another girl who worked at the same place. She was very nice and when I first brought Nougat...

    Rant: I work for a company, and I am having a hard time dealing with the way things are worked in the groom room. Nothing was ever said to me about this when I interviewed, and eventually this is how we started doing things. Things are working like an assembly line, the boss starts the trim...

    Hello! I'm currently doing my qualification for dog grooming (but lockdown making this hard :( ) My question is about attachment combs.. I don't know why I'm confused and probably sounds like a silly question, But basically, I'm confused with 1) When to use them / what breeds? Why do we use...

    What’s the best way to clean a dog when you aren’t able to give it a bath? I just picked up a foster pup from the shelter and she is VERY scared of everything. She cowers in the corner shaking and won’t move. She is quite dirty and smelly but I don’t want to traumatize her by trying to give a...

    Naima's a Pit/Boxer mix, and has a very short, sleek coat. I want to brush her more, so that I don't find quite as much black fur all over my white sheets and blankets, but I'm not sure what to use. Most of the brushes I see for pets in stores look very sharp and metallic, and as if they'd cut...

    Our dog's a border terrier/chihuahua mix (I've attached a photo of how she looks like). I used to take her to the local groomer, but they always shave her bald that she looks ends up looking like a hairy kiwi. I know border terrier's have an undercoat and to groom them properly, you need to use...

    Edit: I just noticed I forgot the word "can" from the title. Oops. I actually don't have a dog (yet), but was thinking about it in the future. One (of the many, many) things I was wondering about is cleanliness. Most of the time, when I go to pet a friend or family member's dog, I feel like the...

    My Golden Retriever Leah nails grow like weeds, as does her paw fur. That means frequent nail trims preceded by trimming of her paw fur. I'm tired of the cheapo shears that are so dull. I want to get a set of professional groomer shears. I'm eyeing the Chis Christensen 5" Artisan Shears. But I'm...

    I have an inuit husky (AKA Canadian Eskimo Dog). I live in western Canada and we've had a very mild winter. The dog is hot with his undercoat designed for very cold temperatures (he has happily chosen to sleep outside in -30 weather). How can I encourage his undercoat to come out? I brush him...
