Shu Mai and Kanani dry and fluffy after their bath!

Brushing and combing your pet is the first step following a pre-grooming inspection.  These are essential tasks for every grooming visit.  Even short and smooth coated dog breeds benefit from a brief period of brushing with special rubber brushes. There are many types of brushes and combs, and part of being a professional groomer is to know when and how to use them.

Regular brushing and combing contribute to the health of skin and coat. Proper brushing and combing does contribute to your pet's health. Matts and tangling are uncomfortable, and may have organic matter like weeds poking at their skin under the coat. Matted coats are very uncomfortable and may cause skin irritations.  Because we live in Hawaii, our weather is warm all year, keeping your pet well groomed prevents matting.  If matting occurs, it can trap heat and prevent your pet's body from cooling down.  We also have to deal with external parasites such as fleas and ticks all year around.  Matts prevent us from seeing down to the skin where these parasites feed and multiply.
