Happy Hoodie
Made of absorbent fabric, the Happy Hoodie is multifunctional. It will start wicking away water from the ears and head after blow drying. It provides a swaddling effect through soft pressure which a lot of pets find calming.
Proper usage: pull over the head past the ears, then pull back towards the nose. The end goal is having the ear leather gently folded over the ear canal.

ReFuresh Brushes
The last step of any one of my desheds is to rake through with a ReFuresh brush. It has no sharp edges or blades – as such, it will only pull the undercoat that is ready to come out. The short/medium hair one is good for up to 3-4 inches of coat on dogs, cats, rabbits, and more. The long hair one is for longer coats/furnishings.
Proper usage: use short strokes to slowly work through the coat, brushing with the grain of the coat.

ReFuresh Towel
This large towel is made of coral fleece, is very durable, and absorbs so much water! Every pet I bathe gets toweled off with one of these towels. I will wrap up small dogs and cats to let them rest for a minute after the bath and allow the towel to soak up a lot of water. Swaddled dogs are puparritos; swaddled dogs are purritos!
Proper usage: gently squeeze the towel through the wet coat.
