Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Choose a grooming box or a grooming bag to contain and store all dog grooming tools and accessories. Review various options and select a storage unit that can house all the necessary equipment.

  2. Step 2

    Select a metal-cased grooming box with wheels and an extendable handle for traveling and attending dog shows. Look for a case with hooks on the sides to attach a shoulder strap. Choose a built-in combination lock for cases that can be left unattended or transported as luggage.

  3. Step 3

    Pick a grooming box with multiple compartments for storing brushes, combs and nail clippers. Purchase a case with a pullout drawer that is ideal for storing show leads, tissue and medications.

  4. Step 4

    Look for a grooming bag or box with pockets and compartments of varying sizes. Store large items like rakes and sprays in the deep center area. Group small items together either in the pockets or in see-through plastic boxes that can be stacked in the center area.

  5. Step 5

    Consider a storage box that offers padding and separation of areas to keep expensive tools protected and in good shape. Add wraps for tools with blades or points. Check out a bag with comprible features.

  6. Step 6

    Purchase a storage unit with pockets or straps for keeping sprays and liquids upright to prevent spilling and clogging. Put liquids, colognes and sprays in resealable plastic bags when storing them in shared spaces with other equipment.
