Four Paws

Four Paws is an American pet care brand, best known for the Magic Coat grooming range and the Wee-Wee house-training line. The range here is practical rather than glamorous: brushes, combs, clippers, shampoos, gates, training pads and the cleaners you need when the training does not go to plan.

Choosing A Grooming Tool

Slicker brushes are for coats with an undercoat or a woolly texture. Keep the pressure light - pressing a slicker into the skin causes the graze groomers call slicker burn
Pin brushes are the everyday brush for long silky coats. Comfortable, but they will not break a mat
Bristle brushes do almost nothing on a thick coat and are exactly right on a short smooth one
A steel comb is the most useful tool in any kit. After brushing, run it through to the skin - if it snags, the coat is not actually brushed
Gloves and mitts suit cats and nervous dogs that will not accept a brush but will accept being stroked

Mats, And When To Stop

Mats form where fur rubs: behind the ears, under the collar and harness, in the armpits and groin. Check those four places weekly and you will rarely meet a serious one
Work from the outside edge of a mat inwards, holding the fur between the mat and the skin so the pull goes into your fingers
A mat felted tight against the skin should be clipped out by a groomer or a vet. Skin lifts into a tight mat and is very easy to cut through - this is where most home-grooming injuries happen
Never bath a dog with mats in. Water turns a loose tangle into a solid one

Shampoos: Picking The Right One

Oatmeal and hypo-allergenic for skin that reacts to ordinary shampoo. Soothing, not medicated - persistent itching needs a vet, because fleas, food allergy and atopic dermatitis all look the same from outside
Tangles and mats for long coats, bright white for pale coats, odour reducing for a dog that smells
Tearless cat shampoo for the rare occasion a cat genuinely needs a bath. Never use a dog shampoo on a cat
Most dogs need bathing once a month at most. Washing weekly strips the coat and causes the itching it is meant to fix
Essential oil and citrus formulas are for dogs. Cats process plant compounds differently and citrus in particular should never go on them

Nails

If you can hear nails clicking on tile, they are too long. Overgrown nails change how a dog stands
Take a little at a time. The quick grows down with the nail, so an overdue nail cannot be shortened in one go
Keep styptic powder or cornflour in the kit before you start, not after
Do one nail and give a treat. A dog pinned down for a nail trim remembers it for years

Pet Gates

Pressure-mounted gates hold by friction and need no drilling - but they must never go at the top of stairs. Hardware-mounted is the only safe choice there
Free-standing gates mark a boundary rather than seal an opening. Good for small dogs and rented flats, useless against a determined one
Walkover gates are low and have no latch to get wrong, which also means most medium dogs can clear them
None of these are certified child safety gates. If a toddler uses the same doorway, buy one that is

House Training

The Wee-Wee Patch uses synthetic grass over a tray. Dogs learn a surface, so a dog trained on grass indoors moves outdoors far more easily than one trained on paper
Pads come in sizes from 16.5 x 23.5 inches to 22 x 23 inches, with raised borders on the Insta-Rise range for dogs that aim at the edge
Pads teach a dog that indoors is allowed, which is the point in a flat but makes going outdoors a second piece of training
Enzyme cleaners matter more than people think. Urine leaves uric acid crystals that ordinary cleaning does not touch, and a dog returns to a spot it can still smell. Never clean an accident with anything ammonia-based

Good To Know

Every Four Paws product on this page is currently out of stock. The listings are live so you can see what is coming back; nothing here can be ordered today
The muzzle in this range is a close-fitting nylon one. It is for short supervised handling only, never for walks or hot weather - a dog that cannot pant cannot cool down
The Keep Off! repellents are EPA-registered pesticides, not fragrances. Treat the surface, never the animal, and follow the label
