Quick Answer: The easiest home grooming system: lick mat on the shower wall, grooming gloves during the bath, and a calm consistent routine. The lick mat keeps your dog still, the grooming gloves remove loose fur while shampooing, and you've bathed and deshedded in one session with no resistance. This combination takes most bath time battles from 40 minutes of wrestling to 15 minutes of peace.
The Home Grooming System
- Load the lick mat with peanut butter or yogurt — freeze the night before for a longer session
- Stick the suction cup to the shower wall at your dog's nose height
- Let them find it and start licking before you turn on the water
- Wet the coat, apply shampoo through the grooming gloves
- Work through the coat with the gloves — you're shampooing and deshedding simultaneously
- Rinse, dry, done
Between Baths
Daily or every-other-day passes with the grooming gloves maintain coat condition between full baths. The gloves work dry as well as wet — use them during normal petting sessions for ongoing deshedding with zero resistance.
