Thread: Grooming - best products

I have managed to groom Simba in ways mentioned below and done it little and often and always given him treats while brushing and after and have also given him toys or one of the brushes to amuse him while I'm doing it.

The tummy is the hardest area but also the one that gets most matted, under legs etc. I found the best way to do this is: I lay him on his back on my knee with his head towards me and his tail hanging down between my legs. I don't use force to hold him there as I have found the more I hold him down the more he struggles. So it's just a case of gentle persuasion. If he moves I put him back and give him a treat. I tell him no when he moves and just use one hand to gently persuade him to stay there. I found he eventually gives up and will lie still occasionally wagging his tail. He is getting much better now and knows I won't give up so tends to give in quicker. I use a plastic comb and a brush I brought for cats. But I like the comb best and it's just a mans comb brought from Asda.
