6. Conditioner
7. Flea Treatment
8. Tick Treatment
The brush and comb are designed for all hair types and you should easily be able to find one for your pet grooming kit.
Clippers are usually only used on dogs and some dogs do not require them in their pet grooming kit if they have very short hair.
Nail clippers are a relatively cheap addition to your pet grooming kit but are an essential item as your pets nails need cutting short on a regular basis.
Special Shampoos and conditioners are needed as human alternatives can cause their skin to become sore or cause allergies.
You will need a hair dryer but you can use yours, however some animals become scared of the noise it make so put it on a low setting as to not frighten them too much.
