    Which Grooming tool is important and essential?
    Tomorrow I will get this dog from a pet store. It is a very strong boy, isn't it? :D

    I am going to get it groomed. But I have nothing knowledge about grooming. So I find some tips and these Dog Grooming Supplies online. Which one is best and necessary ? Thanks y'all!:p

    First off please do not buy a dog from a pet store!

    99% of them are unhealthy puppy milled dogs, we need to discourage these people from breeding as often and as much as possible!!

    If you want a Boxer try contacting the AKC and finding a reputable breeder to get one from, these dogs will be health tested and have a better quality of life.

    Another alternative is getting a dog from a shelter or Boxer rescue, you can get anything from a puppy to an adult dog. The bonus with an adult dog is that you will know it's personality and final size.


    Now... onto the grooming...

    For a Boxer the only tools you will need is a grooming mit to remove any loose hairs (especially during molting seasons):

    You will also need a pair of nail clippers to keep them in good condition... running on hard surfaces will also help keep nails short:

    I agree with Shaz - ESPECIALLY with Boxers. Those dogs are just brimming with health issues, so getting one from a health tested breeder (especially who screens for heart issues) is ESSENTIAL.
