A Winter Car Kit for Michigan Back Roads

Grooming Your Dog or Cat at Home
A few minutes of grooming each week keeps pets comfortable and helps you spot problems early.
Brush first
A dematting comb works through tangles before they turn into painful mats. Brush in the direction the hair grows.
Trim nails a little at a time
Clip only the tip and avoid the pink quick. A clipper with a safety guard helps. File rough edges afterward.
Ears and eyes
Finger wipes clean the outer ear gently. Textured eye pads lift crust and tear stains.
Make it a good experience
- Keep sessions short.
- Reward with treats and praise.
- Stop if your pet gets stressed and try again later.
