Grooming your Coton can be challenging if you don't have proper equipments, method, time and energy. I've learned how to groom my Cotons through many mistakes and trials to get it done right. I am still in process of learning but I would love to share my learnings with all of my Coton owners and any Coton lovers so they could start groom their Cotons with minimal efforts with miximum results from the beginning.

Grooming mouse-Plush Puppy Reviva Coat(moisturizing foam )(http://www.plushpuppyusa.com/home.html)-Plush)

Fragrance- Le Pooch Products- http://www.lespoochs.com/products.asp
Tooth Brush - I use electronic tooth brush for my adult Cotons. You can choose it from several defferent kinds. Don't use this to a very young puppy.
Tooth paste- baking soda or mint flavor.
Ear Relief Wash & Ear Relief Dry -
I use Veterinarian’s Best brand and you can choose the ones you like.
Soothing Eye Solution- Clean Eyes( Soothing Eye Solution) by Gold Medal Pets- I use this eye drop after bath to sooth their irritated eyes by using couple drops on each eyes. You can choose the brand you like.
Nail trimmer and Styptic Powder- small size will work for puppy & adult use styptic powder when you need to stop the bleeding
Mason Pearson’s mixed bristle Brush(half Boar and half Nylon)-(http://www.masonpearson.com/), - - I use this brush to dry their wet coat after bath. This is the most important item for me to reducing drying time and energy. I highly recommend this brush to all my puppy buyers.
