5 No-Fuss Pet Grooming Products

Spiffing up your pet's look at home can save you money, but can also create a Great Dane-sized mess. So while you may want to give your pet a deep shampoo or a good dental cleaning, sometimes the chaos doesn't seem worth it.

Fortunately, many products on the market can help you keep your pet looking trim and smelling fresh while minimizing the nuisance of grooming at home. Our friends at Zootoo rounded up some of their favorite no-fuss products for sprucing up your pet.

Effective at detangling both long-haired and short-haired cats, the Hard Slicker Brush from Whisker City uses closely packed metal bristles to tackle the toughest at-home grooming jobs. Our tester cat loved the feel of the brush - and cat owners will love the self-cleaning feature. Simply press a button on the back of the brush and its two layers separate, lifting collected fur to the surface for easy clean-up.


Regular dental cleanings at home do more than just help to keep "doggie breath" at bay; they also promote better overall health for your canine. With the EZDOG Finger Brush from Triple Pet, brushing your dog's teeth yourself can be easier than you might think. The effective brush fits over your finger, featuring soft rubber bristles to massage and clean gums and teeth; and the body extends to your palm, giving you greater control during brushings.


If you find yourself - and your furniture - buried in cat hair after a good brushing, try the Snap-N-Clean Brush from M2Pets. The wide bristles help to comfort your feline during groomings, and the hair disposal feature makes cleaning up a breeze. Simply pop off the removable base plate, clean, then snap back into place. The brush is also appropriate for either dogs or cats, making it ideal for multi-pet households.


Featuring natural ingredients and a pleasing, fresh scent, the Cucumber Melon Dog Shampoo from Nootie effectively detangles your dog's fur while soothing his scalp. The formula is free of sulfates and safe to use with flea-and-tick products. And the shampoo, which includes oatmeal extract and aloe concentrate, left our tester dog's coat soft and glossy.


Designed to negotiate the contours of your cat's body, the form-fitting, breathable Grooming Gloves for Cats from PETCO feature rubber dots that collect loose fur and keep it on the gloves instead of carpets. The texture of the gloves also helps to calm skittish cats with a massaging touch. And owners of heavy shedders or long-haired felines will appreciate that the comfortable knit gloves are also handy for picking up stray hair from furniture.
