Max's Grooming Kit
Grooming Max is non-negotiable. Kokopus (yes, real breed — see [/about](/about)) are double-coated and shed twice a year in a controlled disaster zone. Without a weekly grooming routine, the house is fur-colored by Thursday.
What's in the kit
- Slicker brush — the Safari Pin & Bristle we've used for 4 years
- Undercoat rake — the serious one, for the spring shed
- Nail grinder — rechargeable, quieter than the clippers that terrified Max as a puppy
- Grooming mat — the non-slip surface that turns a struggle into a sit
Why we picked these
We went through three brushes before this one. The slicker is the only one that gets all the way down to the undercoat without pulling. The grinder is the one that stopped Max's nail-trim panic. The mat stays put — Max doesn't slide when I'm working on back paws.
Not for
If your dog has a short single coat (pit, bull terrier, chihuahua), skip the undercoat rake. Just the slicker + grinder is enough.
