The Ancol Ergo Cat Double-Sided Comb

The Ancol Ergo Double Sided Comb is a pragmatic tool to detangle and smooth your cat's coat. One side of the comb has wide teeth, to gently detangle coarse and long haired coats. The other side has finer teeth to smooth and neaten fur and remove loose hairs, suitable for short hair coats or longer coats that have been detangled. The medical quality stainless steel pins are rounded at the ends to prevent discomfort and be gentle on your cat's skin. Grooming a cat helps maintain a smooth and glossy coat and can be a lovely way of bonding with your pet. Regular grooming to remove loose hair, particularly when your cat is moulting, will lessen the amount of fur they ingest when grooming themselves which will reduce fur balls and associated problems. Regular grooming will also reduce the amount of shed fur around the home. The Ergo range for cats has a variety of tools to maintain your cat's coat, skin, and claws.

To use, begin with the wider teeth and gently comb the hair in the direction of the fur growth. The pins of the comb are rounded and polished for comfort. To ensure your dog has an enjoyable grooming session, do not push the comb into the dog's skin. Gently tease out tangles with the comb. Do not pull or tug on matted fur; this may require cutting. When the wide-toothed side of the comb slides easily through the dog's coat, use the fine side. Pause or end the grooming session if your dog becomes agitated.

Grooming tips: Grooming is a wonderful way to bond with your dog, but dogs that are new to grooming should be introduced to it slowly. Begin grooming sessions when your dog is relaxed, if possible, after they have exercised. Use tools gently and avoid tugging on the skin or on knots or mats. Give your dog plenty of reassurance throughout the grooming session. Pause the grooming session if your dog becomes agitated or shows signs of stress. Keep grooming sessions brief to begin with, and increase the length of the sessions as your dog becomes used to grooming.

These are the large clippers, ideal for medium and large dogs.

To use, ensure your dog is calm and still. If your dog is new to having their claws trimmed, it may help to have another person present to hold your dog. Hold the dog's toe firmly, keeping it still. Place the clipper over the very end of the claw, and close it to remove the end of the claw.

Important: Remove only the very end of the claw. Cutting too much of the claw can cut the quick (a vein that runs through the claw) causing pain. For dogs with dark claws, it is difficult to see the quick, try looking from underneath the claw. No matter how long the claws are, proceed with caution and cut only the very end of the claw off. Long claws should be regularly clipped by small amounts to help the quick recede.
