Promising review: "Wasn’t sure if this would work for my dog Barkley. As you can tell by my dog’s name, he definitely barks a lot. My groomer told me about this product. She uses it every day at her business, so I thought I would try it. To my surprise, it worked very quickly. It’s awesome to use something that doesn’t hurt my dog." —Johnny B

There are lots of reviews from pleased pet parents of Maltipoos, poodles, goldendoodles, Maltese, Bichon Frise
Promising review: "This is the only brush he likes. He Is relaxed when you brush his hair. I had to buy two, one for grandma's house and one for our house because he runs runs and hides if you try to brush him with any other brush. No more mats for this poodle." —Liz
"This was recommended to me by my dog groomer and it works great. I have a large Labradoodle with a long coat and it's perfect to keep his coat nice and soft." —Morgan Crowe

Promising reviews: "It really gets out the hair from the undercoat of my Aussie without pulling and hurting her. It came highly recommended by my groomer. It really helps with shedding, pulls that undercoat out, and keeps my old girl cool in the Florida heat." —R. Smith
"This works amazing. I am a groomer, and this works really well for the clients who have dogs with a lot of undercoat that’s shedding. I may get a second one for home use. And you can’t beat the price!" —Whitney

See the ChomChom roller in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "I'm a pet groomer and constantly have hair on my clothes and car. This product works very well to remove hair and is easy to clean!" —Jessica Pittman
And check out this ~glowing~ review from my colleague Jenae Sitzes: "The tens of thousands of 5-star Amazon reviews are reason enough to add the ChomChom to your cart immediately — but let me add my own personal review to the stack. I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds."

Reviewers say that their dogs shed A LOT after the first wash with this deshedding shampoo, but over time they notice less shedding.
Promising review: "I used to be a professional dog groomer, and this stuff works!! Nothing takes away all the shedding of course, but this stuff and the conditioner really make a huge difference. The key is mostly in the conditioner; you rub it in to the coat, then use a dog dryer (NO heat) to blow the conditioner into the coat backwards. Next rinse out completely and again use the dryer. I like the fact that the ingredients are not full of all kinds of chemicals." —Jon

Promising review: "I have been a professional dog groomer for over 35 years and this stuff does what it says it will. Even on the most coarse coats it turns it into a thing of beauty; any mats almost fall out. This is a whole new world for me. Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks? This old dog just learned one." —sandra k. steele

Promising review: "I've got one of those dogs who doesn't like his nails touched, and he's got a devoted owner who tried clipping his nails and cut one too short, so that was traumatic for both of us! My dog gets horribly car sick, and taking him anywhere in the car creates so much angst, but he has to have those nails trimmed. The groomer suggested this product, which she actually has and uses on her own dogs, and urged me to buy it and give it a try. I ordered it and got it, and then I was scared to use it on him! But the company follow-up provided me with some helpful suggestions and a great amount of encouragement, and there is a very happy ending to this story! So I absolutely recommend it." —jazziejay5

Promising review: "For whatever reason, I didn't know trimmers came in sizes. I have a big boy, about 90 lbs. His nails were so hard to cut, and I would usually split them. I talked to a groomer, and she suggested these. What a big difference! My big boy is very pleased with his nails, LOL. Nothing split and quick, clean cut. Ease to hold as well. Very pleased." —Susan E. Snyder

Promising review: "I have a Maltese who had horrible red tearstaining. My groomer recommended this product and it’s amazing!! I wash her eyes every night with a child's small soft toothbrush and a small amount of this wash and in the morning I clean her eyes with Henry Schein tearstain remover on a cotton pad and her little eyes are white as snow. It’s soap free and has never irritated her eyes... Love it!!" –Stacey

Promising review: "I purchased this as I have a groomer who comes to the house to groom my dogs. She absolutely loves it and recommends it, and is now recommending it to all of her clients. She says it relieves any tension in her back and actually gets all of the soap out to where she is using less water than before. That’s a win for me." —ER

Promising review: "I purchased this at the recommendation of my dog's groomer. She had noticed that my dog's gums were starting to recede. I immediately started adding this to his water. At his next appointment, 4 weeks later, she could already see a big difference. The added bonus for us was that since our dog was a puppy, he had battled tear stains. I had resisted using supplements in the past as they had poor reviews. So, this product helped his teeth, stopped his tear stains, and doesn't have negative reviews.....win, win!" —Shireen S.

Promising review: "My vet kept advising that my dog needed his teeth cleaned but he would have had to be put under anesthesia to do so. My daughter is a dog groomer and someone told her about this product. We tried it and the next time at the vet, they didn't say a word, just made a notation that his teeth could use cleaning. We hadn't been using the product for long at that time. We've continued to use it and his teeth look great. My daughter is now advising her clients to try this when they bring the subject up." —AssateagueMist

Promising review: "I have a Great Pyrenees. This was recommended by my groomer to help reduce all loose hair I sweep up daily. It is good for the loose top coat hair" —Cindy Murphree
Get it from Amazon for $5.94+ (available in three colors).
Promising review: "We got this at the recommendation of our groomer. Our dog is very short hair, but gets scratches and bites on herself a lot. She's a nervous little dog. This has been very soothing and has helped heal her skin. It's a little hard at first, but warms up and is easy to get out. I only need a little bit to form a film on her skin. Smells a little minty or herbally, but it doesn't linger, and the dog doesn't seem to mind. She loves having me put it on, and it has become a bonding time for us." —Jada

Promising review: "I am a dog groomer who has to clean up a lot of hair. I absolutely love this product; it makes clean-up a breeze. Hair doesn’t stick to bristles like a traditional broom. It picks up dust and dirt, too. When the floor is wet, just use the squeegee side of the broom." —Kim Atwood

Promising review: "I'm a groomer. I have two different tubs. They both have different 'waste holes.' One is a perfect fit, the other isn't. The TubShroom still manages to collect the bulk of the hair." —Obi

Promising review: "Love these wipes for our Pomeranian. We use them to wipe our dog down after his play dates and also clean his paws off after returning from our walks. Doesn’t really have a strong scent, so it doesn’t linger on our dog. The wipes are sturdy and big enough for our needs. These were recommended by our groomer and we are pleased with the product." —Average Amazon Customer
