Grooming

I committed a slight purchasing faux pas when buying grooming gear for Daisy. She is relatively short coated, with feathery legs, tail and ears, and so I bought her a tool designed for shorter coated dogs - the Mikki Grooming Glove. After a slightly iffy first introduction, where she tried to eat it, she quickly discovered that being groomed was nice! However, the glove is no match for even her relatively short collie coat, and quickly clogs up with hair, which is then a terrific pain to get out of the glove. It does do a great job of pulling loose surface hair out, but doesn't really get into anything below the very top layer.

So after a recommendation from a local trainer, I've bought grooming tool #2: the fabulously-named "Zoom Groom". Initial reports are very positive - on Daisy at least - but I think there might be brush purchase #3 fairly imminently to deal with Cybi's longer and coarser coat. More brush research coming up!
