Long-haired dogs like this Irish Setter can have an unruly coat that doesn't look as nice as it could in the show ring. A slinkie can help smooth it and keep it clean.

Do you show your dog in conformation?

Many dog owners support their dog's breed by showing them in AKC or other conformation events.The idea is to recognize the best examples of a given breed to improve that breed in the future.  

Many of the breeds need help to look their best.Using grooming or other gear can help a dog owner keep their canine looking like the champion they hope to be. The type of gear changes depending on the breed's characteristics being considered. For example:

Long-haired dogs like setters and spaniels need long, smooth coats that aren't made ragged during day-to-day life.  

-  Smooth-coated dogs might need to be kept clean, warm, and protected from the sun.

-  Dark-colored dogs might need help staying cool.

A grooming suit can help protect your dog's coat from dirt, weeds, sun, etc.

Everyday grooming tools 

A show dog is a show dog every day. Sometimes dog parents can just treat their dog like any other dog when it's not time to show. Others have to work every day to prepare their dog to look their best in the ring. A grooming suit like the one above can help when your dog is out in the field or on a trail, but what about peeing, eating, and other stuff?

-  Staying clean when answering nature's call

-  Eating without wearing it

-  Protecting the coat and skin from sunburn

The need is real. Boys don't think about staying clean when they need to do their thing. It can get pretty messy and result in a lot of clean-up time. A pee coat, aka speedo, like this one can greatly reduce clean-up and grooming time.

Staying energized for the show ring

Conformation shows happen outside quite frequently, especially when the weather warms up. If your dog's breed shows first thing in the morning, the temperature might be comfortable. However, if they are to be in the ring later in the day, your dog can feel like a wet noodle if they get overheated. A dog cool coat can help them feel energized even on the hottest days to go in and perform their best.

A show dog cool coat is functional AND fashionable.
