What are the best brushes for a short-haired dog like an Amstaff?

Great question! You can use a slicker hair brush to remove excess hair and to keep shedding to a minimum. I would also recommend getting a medium bristle brush. You can get these brushes in a pet store or online.

Dog winter coat: Comb or Furminator for undercoat & sensitive skin?

I agree the furminator is sharp and doesn’t work well on lots of dogs. I use a comb and also a slicker brush. Grooming daily will help and won’t be as irritating to your dog. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Jake.

Dog Zoom Groom for my cat? What's the difference? Should I return it?

Great question! From what I can see, there's really not much difference between the Zoom Groom for dogs and cats. The cat one is a little more flexible to give your cat a massage when you groom them, which cats love. Supposedly the gentle massage action calms stressed or anxious cats. I don't think it would hurt at all to use the dog one on Luna, but if you want the massage action for her, then I would return it and get her the cat one. You can also try the dog one on her and if she hates, then get the cat one. I hope this helps, and thanks for contacting Pet Coach!

How to groom a puppy who bites the brush and won't stay still?

First of all, Bentley is way too young for a bath (unless he has gotten into something nasty). It is a good idea to bathe him twice a year, just as the hair starts to clump. As for the equipment: I had a Samoyed for years, and also Siberians--another double-coated breed. Your best bet is to use a rake (made for dogs, not your lawn rake!). Aside from a general going-over to get the loose hair out, the best method for grooming Bentley is to pick up a section of hair., as if you were going to tease it. Do nothing with the section except hold it. Rake what's left underneath (the undercoat). If Bentley's hair is really clumping, you can grab a handful yourself. You might want to use the metal comb to get the hair around his face, but it's not really necessary--nor are all the other products you bought. You can train him to the rake by initially just showing it to him with a treat. Just run the rake gently over his coat and treat/praise when he leaves it alone.

My long-haired cat hates grooming. How can I make it more enjoyable?

Time and patience! Some cats don't like being groomed, or can become easily overstimulated from the tines of a brush. There are some self-grooming tools out there that may be less overstimulating and more interesting to Florence, such as arches with bristles on them the cat can rub against, or even plastic brushes that attached to wall corners to all your cat to rub up against it. A softer rubber brush such as a Kong brush, or even a grooming glove rather than a deshedding glove may also be gentle enough to avoid irritation while still getting mats out. If Florence is really nervous about the brushes, start slow. You can find a treat or snack she likes (such as a smelly piece of chicken or tuna) and then just brush her ONCE and give the treat. Once she is OK with that, you can move up to brushing a few spots in between treats, and then finally grooming mats or more problematic areas until she is more used to it. If she has some very bad mats that are affecting her health and she won'
