Jess Rona has many titles. She’s groomer to the stars, Haute Dog judge (HBO Max), actor, author, and more. She’s also amassed a cult following for her LA celebrity clientele and slow-mo music videos of dog blowouts.
When she’s not giving blowouts to Katy Perry’s poodle, she’s spending time with her own two rescue pups, Chupie and Meemu, who, as you can imagine, have a very dialed-in beauty routine. Because the world of grooming can be a confusing (and, at times, financially overwhelming) one, we asked Rona to give us the low-down on the best beauty products for pet parents to use at home. Below, her top picks of wipes, sprays, and brushes in the business.
“I love this brush because it has a hollow handle, which allows for a light touch. It’s great for detailed areas like faces, feet, and armpits, but it’s also wonderful for all-over brushing.”
$35 at Jess Rona Grooming
“This is an aloe-based hydrating spray that helps keep the coat soft and detangled between groomings. It’s lightweight, and you can spray your brush first, before gliding it through the coat, for added moisture.”
$40 at Doglyness
“These are great for paws, face, and tush refreshing.”
$10 at Wild One
“Checking and brushing your dog’s teeth regularly (a few times a week) is so important. Always use an enzymatic toothpaste. If your dog doesn’t love it, try standing behind them (this will prevent the dog from backing away from you) and wiggle the toothbrush in under the lips while keeping your dog’s mouth closed.”
$6 at Chewy
“This duo is so hydrating. I love it for all different coat types. It’s so important to condition your dogs to keep their skin from becoming dry and itchy and to keep their coat free from matting.”
$66 at iGroom
“These are great for goopy eyes on dogs who get tear stains.”
$7 at ChewyRelated articles
