I’ve been a dog and pet groomer for 16 years, so I’ve pretty much lived, breathed, and dreamed in pet hair since I graduated high school. If anyone knows what actually works, it’s me. 🐾 These are the grooming products, tools, shampoos, brushes, coat...

Shampoos, Coat, and Grooming Care
[Use Code KDOGS for 10% off] Do yourself (and me) a favor and try the “Keratin Volume Shampoo” for extra fluffy, sleek, and a delicious smelling pup for over a week after its bath.
Isle Of Dogs Luxury & Grooming Professional Dog and Pet Shampoos [Use Code KDOGS for 10% Off]
iGroom Darling is my HANDS DOWN favorite Shampoo scent by iGROOM. It's a luxurious shampoo designed to deliver deep cleansing while infusing a dog’s coat with nourishing moisture and soothing. Great for all coats, Poodles & Doodles included.
Darling Shampoo 16oz by iGroom [My personal fave]
You might scoff at the price tag, but this bottle is a FULL LITER, and groomers LOVE Hydra for a reason. Dilute up to 4:1 A little goes a long way, the coat feels great afterward, and it’s one of those professional shampoos that actually is worth the...
Hydra Senses Bliss Coconut Water Pet Shampoo
One of those shampoos that actually feels made for grooming, not just marketed to dog owners. Melanie Newman cleans really well without leaving the coat feeling stripped, and the finish is noticeably soft and fresh without an overpowering perfume sme...
Melanie Newman Natural Dog Shampoo Collection
A good pick when you want more body and lift without making the coat feel stiff. I like this one for coats that tend to fall flat or need a little extra fullness after the bath, especially when you’re trying to get that fluffy finished look.
iGroom Vavoom Volumizing Shampoo 16oz for that extra FLUFF
A cute little way to try Melanie Newman without committing to the full-size bottles. You can pick the formula that fits your dog, and the 50ml duo is also handy for travel or tossing into a grooming bag.
Festive Duo Mini Sample Pack - Shampoo
The Limited Edition Seasonal Pick from iGroom. One of iGroom’s seasonal scents and this one is very fall without making the dog smell like a candle. 🍐 Fresh, a little fruity, and still has that clean professional-groom finish I like from iGroom.
D’Anjou Pear Limited-Edition Seasonal Shampoo 16oz by iGroom
A solid option when flea-and-tick season rolls around. I like that this is a shampoo first, not just a treatment. You can actually get the dog clean while using a formula made for flea, tick, and mosquito control. The mint + cedarwood scent is a lot ...
Skout's Honor Flea + Tick Dog Spray - Natural
This is one I like for dogs with sensitive, itchy, easily irritated skin. DOUXO S3 Calm is gentle, moisturizing, and made to support the skin barrier without loading the coat up with heavy fragrance. A lot of my clients bring this in for me to use.
Douxo S3 Calm Dog Shampoo for Itchy Skin, 6.7 fl oz
A nice gentle option for washing faces of adults and puppies. Good for cleaning around the stinky muzzle, beard, and eye area. Tearless & Gentle scent. Smells great and still safe for use on sensitive skin!
Scentament Spa -Best Shot:
Puppy & Gentle Face Wash 16oz
Ignore the bad spelling on this one, maybe they cant spell, but they know how to make a functional foamer. Add water, shampoo and give it a good mix. For a hassle free home wash, this little foamer is genuinely handy and super cute. Itll make bathing...
Please stop giving dogs mint toothpaste 😭 A lot of dogs aren’t into that strong minty flavor, so a dog-friendly flavor can make brushing way less of a fight. Dental care is hard enough without making their toothpaste taste like ours.
Hydra Pro Dental Paste, Fluoride-Free, 5oz
5 Flavors for your pets to choose from! Grooming is hard enough without mint toothpaste 😭 A lot of dogs aren’t into that strong minty flavor, so a dog-friendly flavor can make brushing way less of a fight. Dental care is hard enough without making t...
C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste for Pets, 5 Flavors
Not all nail trimmers are made the same. Nails are hard and need strong hardware to cut through them and hold up for years to come. These will work on small and large dogs (If you have an XL breed you may need the larger ones)
Nail Trimmer Black and Red -PSD
Use the brand we all know. For something as basic as nail care, I’d rather stick with the reliable option than gamble on a random tool that might be flimsy, low power or awkward to use.
Dremel Lite Cordless Variable Speed, 10 Acc
One of those products you just trust. Zymox is great for trouble, stinky ears. Gentle, non-toxic and non-irritating solution free from harsh detergents, veterinarian recommended. [Not for current ear infections]
Zymox Ear Cleanser Solution for Dogs and Cats, 4oz
For when you dont want to use a bottle of liquid and cotton balls. Xymox ear wipes are ready to use and toss when you're done. Great for stinky, waxy ears.
Zymox Enzymatic Ear Wipes for Dogs & Cats
Doodle Coat Care
These are coat aids & helpers they are not a magic wand and will not un-do a lack-of-brushing or neglect. Don't forget to brush your doodles daily!
One of my favorite options for doodle-type coats. The charcoal helps get the grimy, oily feel some tight curly coats hold onto, while the keratin leaves the hair feeling smoother and easier to work with instead of dry and fluffy in the wrong way. Pai...
iGroom Charcoal and Keratin Shampoo 16oz [Doodle Coat Approved]
This is the conditioner I’d use with the Charcoal + Keratin shampoo when the coat needs a little extra help. It leaves the hair soft and manageable without making it feel heavy, which I especially like on curly or doodle-type coats.
iGroom Charcoal and Keratin Conditioner 16oz [Doodle Coat Approved]
Great for Wooly coats! The perfect shampoo for doodles and other similar breeds, able aid in dematting, deshed, and detangling in one step (when blow dried)
Detangling Shampoo 33oz by Banish
The Ultimate Doodle Coat Handler. Tough coats need a tough brush. CC (Chris Christensen) Karben xs-xl is def for to the job. Used by many professional groomers, and me personally.
Chris Christensen - Slicker Brushes! The Ultimate Doodle Coat Handler
For dogs with waves & curls. A really nice option for curly and wavy coats that tangle easily. It helps soften the coat, loosen up knots, and cuts down on drying time a bit too, which is always a win with doodles and other fluffy coats.
TropiClean Island Bloom Curly Wavy Dog Shampoo
This is one of those products that helps stretch the life of a good groom. A light leave-in conditioner makes brushing between appointments easier, helps with tangles, and keeps the coat looking a little more put together for longer. Pride & Groo...
