Whether you have cats or dogs or are interested in adopting a new family pet, you’ll need a few essential grooming products. These pet supplies will not only keep your cat or dog looking good but help them maintain a healthy coat and skin. The animal experts at Bethel Feed & Supply Pet & Garden Center in Clermont County, OH, suggest a few indispensable items for proper pet care.

3 Essential Pet Supplies for Grooming

1. A Brush Designed for Their Coat

Instead of picking up the first pet brush you see, do a little research before you buy one. Choosing a brush designed with your pet’s coat in mind will ensure you groom them effectively and don’t hurt them in the process. For example, a pet with a thick, long coat needs a wire brush to detangle and remove excess hair; however, one with a shorter coat requires something with softer bristles.

2. A Flea Comb — Even If They Don’t Have Fleas

Include a flea comb on your list of pet supplies to pick up. As the name suggests, it will help you rid your pet of fleas and other parasites. Even if your animal doesn’t have fleas, this pet accessory can be used to untangle knots if your dog or cat has a long or dense coat.

3. Nail Trimmers to Keep Claws in Check

Many people take their pets to a professional groomer to have their nails cut. However, it’s still a good idea to have nail trimmers on hand for times when your pet needs a quick trim or you notice an overgrown or damaged nail.

Instead of heading to a big box store for these pet supplies, shop locally with a company that has been serving Bethel, OH, and nearby communities since 1984.
