Just like us, our beloved pets need to be bathed and pampered every once in awhile, but that's easier said than done. That's why having the best grooming products possible is important to make bath time better for both of you. I can be a little trickier bathing a pet — say, for example, when you have to wrestle your uncooperative dog into the tub — but grooming your pet is for more than just keeping him or her clean: their health depends on it. Though we do have to admit that the fresh scent and soft coat you get while cuddling them after a bath is a huge plus.
Many pet owners opt to take their canine or feline to the groomers and leave the hair care to the professionals, which we totally understand; the actual labour of washing your pet can be stressful and sometimes too much to handle. But if you're curious to see if you can get salon-quality results at home (or are just looking for a budget-friendly way to get the soft, cuddly pet you know and love), we've rounded up a list of the 20 best grooming products for dogs and cats you can use at home. Keep reading to get your master groomer on!
