We don't know about you, but it's week eight of lockdown and our pooch is looking like he's seen better days. And it seems he's not the only one.
With dog grooming just another trade that's halted services since lockdown was announced in March, our poor pets are looking hairier, poofier and more disheveled than ever.
Many of our furry friends are crying out for a summer trim, and for some longer-haired breeds, it's a matter of comfort as the weather hots up and they begin to suffer under all that fur.

Of course there's a way to give our dogs a groom, but like all of our lockdown beauty needs, it involves some at-home DIY action.
Luckily, we've found a solution to make the job as painless as possible: Amazon's top-rated dog grooming kit.

The kit by VOONEEN contains electric pet clippers, two titanium blades, two guard combs, a straight comb, and a cleaning brush - AKA everything you'll ever need to have your dog looking tip top.
The cordless clipper promises to be lightweight as well as ultra quiet with low vibration, meaning it's less likely to spook any nervous pets.
It also comes with two spare titanium blades which promise to stay "sharp forever" as well as not heating up or rusting, as well as grooming combs so you can get your cut super even.
The clippers are said to be suitable for all kinds of pets, from cats to dogs and even bunny rabbits - if you have a particularly hairy-looking one.
The grooming kit costs £35.99, which we think is a decent price to give your pet a bit of TLC.

The kit is currently an Amazon's Choice product, which means the selling site recommends it for being highly-rated and well-priced.
"I have a very stubborn Yorkie who hates other people grooming her. I had to learn how to snip her hair pretty quick as I didn't fancy the long hair look for her," explained one customer. "After many disasters and uneven cuts I finally decided to purchase a clipper set and can't think for the life of me why I never before did!!!
"These clippers are amazing. So quiet, easy to use and cut her hair with ease. For the first time in her little life she let me groom away and sat still enjoying the motion of the clippers."
One pet owners echoed the sentiment. "My rescue Ragdoll cat was nearly being suffocated by her very this kid fur ruff around her neck," wrote one. "A very distressing sight to watch and even worse for her to experience."

They went on: "I thought I might have problems with her letting me get near her with the clippers so near her face and ears but on the contrary she absolutely loved the clipping and was purring and coming towards me [...]
"I would really recommend these clippers based on my experience and on hers too!! One happy rescued cat and her new owner."
Happy grooming!
