Grooming Tutorials for Pet Parents

Clipping your cat's nails at home can save them the stress of a trip to the vet. I'll show you how to gently press the paw pad to expose the claw and only trim the very tip, avoiding the sensitive quick.

Did you know cats have whiskers on their legs? These are called carpal vibrissae and are vital for sensing their environment. This is why I teach my students to never shave a cat's full leg area.

This is a full grooming process for a domestic long-hair cat named Gigi. I walk you through each step, from nail clipping and ear cleaning to bathing and drying, showing how to handle a cat that is anxious about the dryer.

It's best to introduce your puppy to grooming between 10 to 12 weeks old. Early, positive experiences with a professional groomer will help them feel comfortable and secure with the process for life.

Never shave a double-coated dog like a Husky. Shaving can permanently damage their coat, which is designed to protect them in both hot and cold weather. Regular brushing is the key.

Seasonal shedding is normal, but the right tool can make a huge difference. I recommend the Kong Zoom Groom brush for short-coated dogs and cats to help remove loose hair and stimulate natural oils for a healthy coat.

Ear plucking is an important part of grooming for certain breeds like Shih Tzus to prevent infections. Here, I demonstrate the correct technique to clean the ear canal safely.

Tear stains are a common issue, especially for light-colored pets. Using a product like Eye Envy can be an easy way to keep your pet's face clean and stain-free. I can show you the proper application method.

Here I am demonstrating how to apply tear stain remover on a calm and cooperative cat. The key is a gentle touch and making the experience positive for your pet.
