Grooming your pet in this way is almost as important to their health as giving them proper nourishment. The goal of using a good pet grooming brush is to keep your pet's coat healthy and shiny by getting rid of dead hair and debris while keeping tangles from turning into knotted mats.

Getting a professional recommendation will help you sort through the confusing maze of pet brushes, rakes, and combs. It's all about having the right equipment to get the job done easily, efficiently, and with the best results. You can easily find a variety of pet supplies online.

The veterinarian will probably be familiar with your pet's health history, so if there is a problem with disorders of the skin, such as rashes and other inflammations, the vet will probably suggest a product that won't make these conditions worse. Fortunately, brushes with softer, rounded tips are readily available.

If you have a cat with short, wiry hair, a rubber pet grooming brush can be an excellent choice for brushing out mats and tangles. Unlike the pins of a metal bristle brush, this brush is designed with soft rubber spikes.

The beauty of using a rubber brush is that it works well both wet and dry. Your pet will enjoy the massage as his coat is cleaned of loose hair and dirt. Even when you use the brush at bath time, you'll never have to worry about rust and you'll find that a rubber brush is quite easy to clean.
