Guinea Pig Grooming Supplies

Keeping your guinea pig looking and feeling good means having all the right guinea pig grooming supplies on hand. Chewy carries a variety of grooming supplies for guinea pigs including guinea pig shampoo, grooming gloves and brushes, nail trimmers and more. Read on to learn about some of the things you may need to regularly groom your guinea pig.

Guinea pigs need regular grooming, so having a few essential guinea pig grooming tools will make your job easier. While shorthaired guinea pigs can be brushed with a hand or mitt, you may want to use a soft bristle brush on them to make things easier. Longer-haired guinea pigs will require more grooming tools and will need to be brushed more frequently. Invest in supplies like a wide-tooth metal comb, a slicker brush and a flea comb in addition to a soft-bristle brush to keep them tangle-free and silky. You may also want to get some guinea pig grooming clippers if you're doing all your grooming yourself. Trimming the nails is also essential, and a good pair of small animal nail clippers will make the job easier. Having a guinea pig first aid kit and some guinea pig bandages on hand for emergencies is a good idea, too.

Guinea pigs usually do a pretty good job of keeping themselves clean, but they may need baths if they get especially dirty, have parasites, or are being shown in competition. Be sure to use only a shampoo made for guinea pigs or small animals and take care not to stress your pet or let him get chilled.
