The ZoomGroom is great for both dry use and for washing.  While shampooing your furrie , use the ZoomGroom to clean their coats by just putting your shampoo on the 'fingers' and glide the ZoomGroom through their wet hair. For brushing and removing loose hair and to reduce shedding, brush gently in a circular motion in your dog's fur. The rubber 'fingers' reach through the coat to massage the skin, stimulating capillaries and natural oil production leading to a healthy coat for your dog.
