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, you may want to use a soft bristle brush on them to make things easier. Longhaired and teddy guinea pigs may require grooming tools like a wide-tooth metal comb, a slicker brush and a flea comb in addition to a soft-bristle brush, and you may also want to invest in 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.

Guinea pigs may also need extra vitamins or supplements to help them feel their best.
