If at least one answer to these questions is “yes,” then home grooming might be the right choice for you and your beloved pooch.
If you’re uncertain what tools you need for DIY dog grooming to keep your dog looking sharp and feeling great, as usual, we’ve got you covered.
Curry Comb
This hefty comb is made out of rubber, and it’s great for taking care of short and smooth coats (like on a Chihuahua or on a Beagle). It’s designed to loosen dead hair, to massage and stimulate the skin and coat alike, and to bring the oils to the surface of the skin while getting rid of dandruff at the same time.
Pin Brush
This brush is very similar to a brush you might use on your own hair. It has straight metal pins about an inch long with rounded or rubber tips (which help avoid irritating your dog’s skin). It’s perfect for untangling a Shih Tzu’s, Yorkshire Terrier’s, and a Stratton’s coat.

Slicker Brush
A slicker brush can be used on long, medium long, and double-coated coats. It usually has a plastic or wood handle with a rectangular brush head, made out of bent metal pins. This brush offers a flexible, fine, and more gentle brushing experience.
Comb
This grooming tool looks like a typical metal comb, with 1- to 1.5-inch teeth. The teeth easily go through most coats, and they detangle hidden knots and pull out the dead coat.
Natural Bristle Or Boar Brush
If your pooch has (really) short hair, the natural bristle or boar brush is perfect for getting rid of dead skin, removing dust, dander, and pollen, and for distributing skin oils.
