For information on FURminator SHED-Less Treatment, please visit their web site.

Improve the appearance of your pet and your environment with the FURminator shed-less treatment . . . a special anti-shedding treatment that dramatically reduces the mess and clean up of unwanted pet hair. The secret to the FURminator treatment is a patent-pending tool designed to stop the shedding where it begins in the undercoat of your pet. This revolutionary grooming device utilizes a unique blade that removes loose hair while leaving your pet with a shiny and healthy coat.


For information on the HydroSurge Bathing System, please visit their web site.

For any groomer who is still bathing by hand, please check out the HydroSurge web site and information on the HydroSurge Bathing Systems. It is well worth the investment because it will save the wear and tear on your hands and it does get the animals a lot cleaner than bathing by hand. I've found that the animals I work with really enjoy the massage they get while I'm bathing them. I have a few who get so relaxed that they will even start to fall asleep in the bath. I've found that by using the HydroSurge Bathing System the shampoos, conditioners, medicated shampoos, etc. are much more effective, the animals are much more cleaner and relaxed, and my hands aren't stressed from bathing by hand.

MDC ROMANI, INC.

MDC ROMANI, INC. is another wonderful company that produces the Clipper Vac system and dryer that I use. I want to refer any groomer to their web site for product information. If you aren't using the Clipper Vac system, you are really missing out. I've found that it's taken off a lot of the actual clipping time, there's no more back brushing, the clipper blades stay cool so there is hardly any chance of clipper burn, I'm not breathing in all that hair, it's easier on my hands, and the dogs turn out so much nicer than when I was clipping the traditional way.

Sometimes I'll come across a really wonderful video that I'll recommend. Here are a few that I've really enjoyed and have found very informative.
