1. How often should I groom my small pet?
+
Grooming frequency depends on the species and their coat type:
●Long-haired small animals may need brushing several times a week to prevent mats.
●Short-haired pets usually need grooming less often (once per week or so).
●Claws should be checked every few weeks and trimmed when they start clicking or curling.
2. Can I use dog or cat grooming products on small animals?
+
Generally, no. Products made for dogs or cats may contain ingredients, bristle stiffness, or sizes that are unsuitable or even harmful for small pets. It’s safer to use grooming tools and brushes specifically designed for small animals.
3. Are any grooming products on Petso safe for sensitive skin?
+
Yes — look for “gentle” brushes (soft bristles, slicker brushes designed for sensitive coats) and combs with smooth edges to avoid scratching. Always monitor your pet after using a new tool, and stop if you notice irritation.
