  This article will cover basic grooming.
  
  I would like to mention that keeping a dog or cat, playing with them, sleeping with them is entirely different than trying to groom them. Put yourself in the animals position. They may not want to be there. You may be putting them into positions that they are not accustomed to. You have to educate yourself on how a dog or cat moves. When grooming it is not enough to be an animal lover but you need to have a great deal of patience as well.
  
  Basic tools and products would include but are not limited to a soft slicker brush, a combination pin/bristle brush, a stainless steel comb, dog rake, a rubber curry brush, nail clippers and a flea comb. a quality shampoo, conditioner, ear wash, nail anti-coagulant.
  
  If your dog is matted and if you are not familiar with wielding a pair of clippers leave this to a professional groomer to clip or de-matt you dog or cat. I have seen many an accident where the pet owner mistook a matt for the skin and cut an ear.
  
  Brushing and combing your dog are very basic steps but may possibly be the most important. The reason being is that certain breeds in particular are prone to matting and you dog must be thoroughly brushed and combed out so as not to tangle the coat. A good practice is that if you are conditioning your dog. Brush the conditioner through its coat. Rinse carefully.
  
  Always use lukewarm water never hot and never cold. Cold water will bring out the oils in some breeds and as we all know water and oil do not mix. Make sure your pet is thoroughly wet before applying shampoo. Some shampoos can be diluted. This way you can use a mixing bottle and attain better coverage over the animal. Another tip is to lightly place a couple of cotton balls in your pets ears to keep water from entering the ear canal.
  
  A slicker brush can be used in two ways. As a straight brush as well as removing light matts and tangles using a rolling motion along the curve of the brush. Grooming can also make your pet pleasing and charming, aside from the given fact that it keeps your pet clean and away from various diseases. Two common diseases for dogs that the owners should be aware of are thrush and scratches.
  
  As true as it is, grooming your dog can be a lot of fun. Some owners can do this daily while some are advised to the grooming procedures once in while only. It basically depends on the breed, age, and medical condition. Among the common tools used for grooming dogs that the owner must have are curry or curry brush, shedding brush, scissors and clips, stripping combs or knives, slicker brushes, stand dryers, and rakes.
  
  Given the fact that there are lots of videos about grooming available via internet, the owner must take extra care on choosing on what to believe from those various clips. There are some videos that seem to be reliable, risk-free, and easy to do. However, it should be noted that your dog may not behave the way you see them in the video.
