Tick Twister
If you’ve ever had to remove a tick from yourself or your pet, you know how difficult doing so can be. The easiest way to do so may be by way of the Tick Twister ($4), which is a simple tool helps pry the tick away quickly without leaving broken off parts implanted in the skin. If you live in heavily wooded area, or like camping, stock up on these tiny tools and keep them in various handy places.
Oster Nail Grinder
Dont’ fall for the $6 as-seen-on-tv knock-off – when it comes to taking care of your pet’s nails, it may be best to use the quality Oster Nail Grinder ($32). Clipping nails, particularly of larger pets, can be difficult and risky. It may be worth conditioning the dog to get used to the sound of this nail grinder. Once you do, you can gradually wear down the nails without leaving them chipped. Much cheaper than taking the pet to the groomer once a month.
FURminator
That furry and cuddly fur that wraps your dog or cat is great as long as it isn’t shedding all over your floor, clothes, and furniture. The FURminator ($23) deshedding tool grabs loose undercoat hair and quickly and easily removes it, leaving a shiny and healthy topcoat. Just make sure to have a broom handy when you use it – you’ll want the mountain of hair to be in your garbage, not left in your floor.
