Grooming Accessories for Dogs and Cats

Pet grooming is as artistic of an occupation as it is scientific. Precision is key when it comes to cutting, cleaning, trimming and brushing your furry clients, but grooming pets isn’t all about following a set of instructions. Being a professional groomer allows you to express your creativity in a variety of ways, one of them through the use of pet hair accessories.

Dog Bows and Cat Bows

Among the many pet hair accessories you can attach to the fur of dogs and cats, bows are one of the most popular and frequently requested items. Not only are bows fun to see on dogs and cats, they’re also easy to apply and inexpensive to make. To make a bow, the only materials required are ribbon, small rubber bands, hemostats, glue, and rhinestones, beads or buttons for some extra flair. Based on whatever colors you or your clients prefer, you can make any color, print and fabric combinations you like.

If you have a sassy feline, why not dress her up with a leopard print bow? Or perhaps you have a manly pooch that would look great with a camouflage ribbon tied behind his ear. The opportunities to be creative are nearly endless when it comes to bows.

Dog Bandannas

Bandannas are also a viable option to spice up a dog’s look. They’re not normally used for cats and small dogs because they’re often too big to be fastened comfortably around their neck. While this limits the use of a bandanna, you can still have fun putting them on medium-sized and large dogs. Also, bandannas are a bit safer, as they can be easily removed. If you have a pet that is particularly energetic or rowdy, it’s best to stay away from carefully applied accessories, as they may come loose.

Feathers for Dogs and Cats

Something new pet owners have been requesting is the addition of feathers to their pet’s fur. Feathers are applied similarly to the way bows are applied, using hemostats. You can purchase them in a variety of colors. Feathers are subtle additions, so pets barely notice they’re there, making them less likely removed by the wearer.

Remember, one of the most important aspects of applying accessories is ensuring you have the permission of the pet owner. As cute as bows, bandannas and feathers are to you, sometimes pet owners prefer to have their dogs and cats simply groomed without any additions.
