The basics of coat care

Grooming is an essential part of caring for your pet's health. Different coat types require different grooming routines, and the right choice of tools and techniques can make a big difference. In this section, you'll learn thetwo basic steps to grooming and how to perform them effectively to keep your pet's coat healthy and shiny.

Step 1 - different coat types and their care requirements

Each dog breed has different coat types that have specific grooming requirements. Long-haired breeds such as the Afghan Hound or Shih Tzu require frequent brushing to prevent matting. Short-haired breeds such as the Dalmatian or the Boxer also benefit from regular grooming to remove loose hair and dander.

Step 2 - important care routines

Thorough grooming involves more than just occasional brushing. Regular washing, clipping and trimming are all part of it, as is the care of sensitive areas such as ears and paws. The frequency of grooming varies depending on the breed and coat type, but a weekly routine is a good starting point.

Necessary care tools

You need the right tools to optimise your pet's grooming. From various brushes and combs to special shampoos and trimmers - choosing the right equipment is crucial for effective and gentle grooming. In this section, we will introduce you to the most important grooming tools and explain how to use them correctly to keep your pet's coat healthy and well-groomed.

1. brushes and combs

Depending on the coat type, you will need different brushes and combs. For long-haired breeds, de-matting brushes and combs are suitable, while short-haired breeds do well with rubber brushes and plucking brushes.

2. scissors and trimmers

A good trimmer and sharp scissors are essential for shortening your pet's coat and keeping it in shape. The emmi-pet Grooming Kit offers an integrated clipper that is perfect for this purpose.

3. shampoos 

Use special pet shampoos that are tailored to your pet's skin and coat type. Avoid products for humans, as these can irritate your pet's skin.

4. special care products for sensitive areas of the body

Cleaning finger cots are also a practical solution for gently and effectively cleaning sensitive areas such as ears, eyes and paws. These finger cots are particularly gentle and enable precise grooming without irritating the skin.
