Grooming a dog, especially a long-haired dog, can end up costing a small fortune and take a lot of time. Here are 10 products that can help save you time, money, or both!
#1 – Dyson Groom Tool
If you have a Dyson Vacuum and a medium to long-haired dog, than you need this attachment. It brushes and then sucks the loose hair right off your dog. Saves you time since you won’t have to pick up all that dog hair after brushing, and there will be less falling around the house.
#2 – 2-in-1 Shampoo/Conditioners
These are great because they save you time and money. You don’t have to buy two separate products or wash your dog, rinse, then wash your dog again. Cloud Star has a Lavender and Mint one that smells heavenly and is made with natural herbs and oils.
#3 – Mint Leaf
This is probably the easiest plant to grow, in fact, it is invasive so keep it in a planter. Then, all you have to do is give your dog a leaf or two to treat that doggie breath.
#4 – Baking Soda
Celebrity Groomer Jorge Bendersky told us this cheap secret – put baking soda in your dog’s shampoo for extra cleaning power. Saves time and money (you won’t have to use as much or a separate whitener).
#5 – Grooming Wipes
Have a muddy dog and no time for a bath? These are great for quick cleans and saves you the time of a full bath. Earthbath® Grooming Wipes are all-natural with no alcohol, making them a great choice.
#6 – Dematting Tool
Do you fight those tangles in your dog’s fur for hours? This causes pain to your dog and frustration for you. Instead, just buy an inexpensive Dematting tool. You can safely and humanely loosen and cut mats in no time.
#7 – Mineral Oil
This inexpensive household item is great at cleaning ears and costs less than any of the ear wipes.
#8 – Corn Starch
Some dogs have greasy coats, which means skipping a bath is out of the question, until now. Bendersky shares that a sprinkle of corn starch will absorb any extra oil or grease, allowing you to skip the bath just this once to get ready for your unannounced guests.
#9 – Shammy
Shammys save you a ton of time drying your dog. These super-absorbent towels are perfect for long-haired dogs that take forever to dry, even with a dryer.
#10 – Baby Powder
Along with the dematting comb, baby powder is an inexpensive time saver when it comes to mats. It’s a secret of show dog professionals and now you know it too.
