As any pet parent knows, grooming is expensive, especially if your pup or kitty has long, or matting-prone fur. But while a professional groom is great for more stylized cuts, there are also plenty of resources available should you want to groom your beloved fur-baby yourself — as long as you have the right tools for the job.
Thousands of Amazon shoppers swear by the Pet Union Professional Dog Grooming Kit. It costs a fraction of what a single "salon" groom would run you, and here's the best part: It's on sale exclusively for Yahoo readers. Just use code 15YAHOOCLIP and save a total of $9, bringing the sale price down to just $27. Of course, you can save even more and score free shipping with Amazon Prime. Haven't gotten around to enrolling yet? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
Instead of investing in separate slicker brushes, clippers and scissors to give your pooch a great groom, this kit comes with everything you need to get the job done — regardless of their coat style and length. It includes multiple guards, nail trimmers, and so much more. Plus, the clippers are designed specially with anxious pets in mind, as they emit minimal noise and vibration. Even better? They're rechargeable and cordless, so you don't have to loop long cords around Fido's body to get at those hard-to-reach spots.
Each item in the kit is made with safety in mind, too. The grooming combs are contoured to fit small and large dogs, plus the titanium blades won't pull at your pet's fur.
New to the canine-coiffage game? No worries, according to one shopper: "Seriously, love love love this grooming kit. Comes with everything you need. I have never groomed my dog or any other dog before this. My first time, and my dog looks absolutely adorable! Very easily to use for beginners. I normally spend $65 at groomers."
Owners of big dogs or long-hairs can rest assured: The Pet Union groomer is more than up to the task! Take it from this German shepherd mom: "...he has dry and itchy skin, as well as some other skin issues, and due to that needs to be shaved and bathed regularly. This product is SO easy to use, and works extremely well with his coat type (medium/coarse). Not only does it work super well, but it doesn’t get hot either so I don’t have to stop every 10 seconds to make sure it isn’t burning his skin. I find it’s easiest to use by starting from the longest setting, and then working down from that to prevent clogging. Overall, I love it."
It even has the stamp of approval from a cat dad — no easy feat! He writes: "I have a very long-haired cat, but now that I have Pet Union Professional Dog Grooming Kit, she is a short-haired cat and she loves it. This thing cuts hair like butter and no cord. What could be sweeter?"
