How to groom your dog: Detangling
Ease your dog into grooming and start from the back of the body, working your way to the front.
Brush in a downward motion from the top of your dog’s back legs, holding above the area so your dog knows what to expect. Always brush in the direction of the hair growth.
If there are any tangles that need extra attention, hold the knot close to the skin so it doesn’t hurt or pull and gently brush the knot apart using short but fast strokes. Be patient while brushing!
Focus on the feet. If you gently lift your dogs leg up while telling them what you’re doing, this will make it easier to groom.
Hold the brush in any way that suits you, as the ergonomic design fits perfectly in your hand, then brush downwards on the paw using the Detangling Brush.
Time for the tail. Hold the top of tail and brush in a downwards motion, using the Detangling Brush. Keep brushing until all tangles are gone.
Whether you are using the Small Detangling brush or the Large Detangling brush, hold your dog's muzzle, talk to them gently and brush in the direction of hair growth in a fast and quick motion.
When grooming your dog’s ears, start by holding the top of the ear and brush in a downwards motion with short and fast strokes to remove any knots, then lift up your dog’s ear and gently brush the hair underneath.

Brush your pooch all over using the same technique as brushing, always in the direction of hair growth.
Brushing with short and fast strokes helps to get to the undercoat properly and get out as much loose hair as possible!

Puppy Brush

For puppies with sensitive skin
How to groom your puppy
You can start brushing or grooming your puppy from a very young age. Once they’re happy for you to stroke them whenever you please, you can introduce the Pet Teezer Puppy Brush.
While your puppy is laying or sat down, start brushing them. Speak to them while you’re brushing them and reward them with treats and lots of reassurance. The more often you do it, the more comfortable they’ll be.
Once they get used to being brushed, you can start gently picking up their legs, tail and ears, brushing them in the direction of the hair growth. Keeping their fur knot and mat-free at home will also prep them for their first visit to the groomers!

How to groom your cat
Start the brushing process by letting your cat smell and rub against the brush to help them get used to the feel of it. This will build up their confidence with the brush.
Short haired cats need brushing about once a week, where as medium hair cats require a bit more attention.
Using the Cat Grooming Brush, gently brush your cats back; this is usually the area they like getting brushed the most! Let them move around and away from you without restraint and stop if they start to show aggression or discomfort.
If your cat seems to be comfortable and happy with you brushing them, you can start to brush the more tender areas like the stomach legs and head.
Don’t forget to brush in the direction of hair growth or it will be uncomfortable for your cat.
