I didn't receive much in the way of grooming tools - mostly just a brush that Jenny hates. We have a finer-toothed brush that I use to brush Jenny's fur and she loves it. I give her ear massages when she gets a good long brushing, especially along her front... she doesn't like it, but she has flyaway fur there. LOL
Daryl.
p.s. Craig, did you ever hear back about your harness question? I was checking the archives and didn't see any responses... I can email with more info for what my husband bought for Jenny when I get home tonight.

When I left GDB last year, they sent us home with a nice little kit. It had a wash cloth, cotton balls, ear cleaning solution, a two sided brush, a rubber nubbed thing and a comb. Also toot brush and tooth paste. It went inside a fanny pack. I use the rubber nubbed thing to go against the grain, then brush Chase with the grain. I follow that with the comb. Then I brush his teeth. It takes about five minutes a day. I also use the furminator once a week and clean his ears with the cotton balls and solution once a week.
Furminator also sells a deshedding spray that I've been using lately. It seems to help keep him from shedding. I spray it on just before the brushing with the grain. It's nasty to breathe, but it cuts down on any doggy odor. Afterward, his fur feels a little like using conditioner on my own hair.
Occasionally, I have to use the wash cloth to wipe the eye noogies from his face.
Craig and Chase

Rebecca,
I've a Labrador. We didn't get any grooming tools when we received our dogs since many owners before us haven't used them and bought other grooming tools instead. We got a brush in a silicone material with very short prickles both it isn't for grooming but for relaxing. I've only used it one time since I Think it's useless and Hera doesn't relax at all, she plays the hiding game instead. Anyhow, I've bought a steel comb which I also use to my cat. I also have a furminator which I use once a week and I comb her Daily even if she doesn't like it at all. *Evil mummy*
Kind regards,
Leye-Shprintse and Hera <3
