Best Cat Grooming Tools 2025 — Brushes, Nail Care & Deshedding
📅 July 2025 · Estimated read: 5 minutes
Maine Coons have a thick, luxurious coat that needs regular grooming. Without it, they develop mats, hairballs become a problem, and shedding takes over your home. Our 6-year-old Maine Coon has been groomed with these tools for years — they keep his coat gorgeous and our furniture fur-free.
FURminator deShedding Tool for Cats
The FURminator works on cats too! The stainless steel edge reaches through the topcoat to gently remove loose undercoat fur. It reduces shedding by up to 90%. Perfect for long-haired breeds like Maine Coons, Persians, and Ragdolls. Use once a week during shedding season. Our Maine Coon actually purrs when we use this on him.
Epica Professional Cat Nail Clippers
Stainless steel, sharp, and comfortable to hold. These clippers make nail trimming quick and stress-free. The safety guard prevents over-cutting. The ergonomic handles give you good control. Our Maine Coon's nails are thick (Maine Coon thing) — these handle them easily. A must-have for every cat owner.
Delomo Pet Grooming Glove
For cats who hate being brushed — try a grooming glove. The silicone tips gently remove loose fur while feeling like a petting session. Our Maine Coon loves being "petted" with this glove and doesn't realize he's being groomed. The loose fur collects on the glove and is easy to remove. Great for daily maintenance between deeper grooming sessions.
Hairball Remedy Gel (Tomlyn Laxatone)
Hairballs are a fact of life with long-haired cats. Laxatone is a palatable gel that helps hairballs pass through the digestive system naturally. Cats love the malt flavor. Give a small dose 1-2 times per week during shedding season. Our Maine Coon gets this weekly and hairballs have reduced dramatically.
✂️ Cat Grooming Schedule
- Daily: Quick brush with grooming glove (2 min) — removes loose fur, bonding time
- Weekly: FURminator session during shedding season
- Bi-weekly: Nail trim check
- Monthly: Ear check, teeth check, full coat inspection
- As needed: Hairball gel during heavy shedding periods
✅ Bottom Line
Every cat owner needs the FURminator for shedding, good nail clippers for claw care, and a grooming glove for cats who fear brushes. Add Laxatone for long-haired breeds prone to hairballs.
