FAQ
How often should I brush my pet?
During shedding season, daily brushing greatly limits hair around the home. The rest of the year, 2–3 times a week is often enough.
Brush or grooming glove?
A glove is ideal for pets that dislike brushes and for short coats. To remove the undercoat, a deshedding brush is more effective.
