Kong Zoom Groom


Merlin received one of these from his Secret Santa and has shown interest in it and likes to lick it. I have recently noticed that his fur is getting dull and he is not taking as much trouble with his grooming as he used to, so this morning I got the Zoom Groom and sat on the sofa. Merlin jumped up onto my lap and I began to stroke him with the plain side of the Groom, then offered it to him - he licked it enthusiastically and then I stroked him with it again. This went on until he seemed to have had enough and climbed onto the arm of the sofa, so I stopped - but no, he just turned around so that we could do his other side!!! I was amazed - it seems that he realised that he could clean himself with my help. He is beginning to moult a little already.

I am going to try again tomorrow and see if this is a habit he has a liking for!

Re: Kong Zoom Groom


How nice that he's enjoying the Zoom Groom! We use them quite often on our in-patients and they all seem to love them, although Imogen has one but she really dislikes it
I think we need to see some pictures of the lovely Merlin enjoying his grooming!

That's such a lovely thing to hear Angie, clever Merlin for licking the Zoom Groom and then turning round for you. Bless him!

Re: Kong Zoom Groom


That paints such a lovely picture . . . Merlin turning around so you could groom his other side. Bless the old fella

*sigh* if only mine were like that and didn't try to remove the fingers from my hand when I start grooming them

Exactly the same here, Moli! Touch not the trousers!

Angie, what a lovely description of dear Merlin!
