Here is a selection of tools we use on our Finnish Spitzes
Slicker Brush
Slicker brushes consist of brush heads covered with short, tightly-packed wire pins angled to go through the coat and avoid the skin. Use them to remove mats and prevent mats from forming by removing loose hair. Maintain a light touch when using slicker brushes, as pressing down hard could cause discomfort.
This is my everyday Brush.
Use once a week.
Undercoat Rake
Undercoat rakes have one or two rows of metal pins designed to penetrate through to the undercoat to remove loose fur, and remove and prevent mats.
This type of brush is the best during shedding season.
Use everyday during shedding season.
My favorite ! The T-brush by Chris Christensen
This brush is clearly my favorite. Perfect for everyday and during heavy shedding.
Perfect for double coat dogs like ours.

Scissor Nail Clipper

Dremel Cordless Dog Nail Grinder 7300-PT 4.8V
Perfect to finnish the job after cutting with the Nail Clipper or if you feel insecure using the clipper, you could just use that grinder. The cordless option is really nice and I can do my 3 adults without having to recharge it in between.
Topical styptic powder
Because accident can happen using a clipper or even your grinder.
Kwick Stop is a topical styptic powder to aid control and stop nails bleeding
Amazing trap that works all year long even during our harsh winter

Favorite Puppy crate
Petmate Aspen Pet Pet Porter, 30-50 LBS
Tip, visit the walmart next to you, they will most likely have the same crate without the brand and the price. I honestly don’t see a difference in building.
Â
Those crates are prefect for puppies, they are easy to clean compare to the wire one and they make some comfy dens for your Finkies.
Favorite adult crate
New Edge Pet EcoFlex crate
When you Finkie is mature enough it can be time to invest in a more beautiful crate.
My females crates are a Medium size and doors are always open.
