I know that's probably a silly question |
Hi. Your baby is still very young and should not go to the groomers for a while. The whole series of shots should be completed before you consider taking her to a groomer or any where for that matter.
Metal grooming combs are best for long haired dogs. A metal pin brush can also be used. I usually comb the tangles out first and then brush. I use the smaller 4" comb for face and legs. A 6" or 7" is good for the body. Daily coming is important for a puppy even if they don't appear to need it. They will get accustomed to being touched and handled and submit to grooming if it is done daily from the start.
Here is a link to an online store that sells good combs and brushes reasonably. Sometimes a local pet store may carry a decent comb.
