Product Information
Full details
The Artero Pumice Stone is designed for professional dog groomers and pet owners seeking an efficient way to manage coarse, wiry coats. Its primary benefit is the effective removal of loose and undercoat hair during the hand-stripping process, simplifying grooming tasks. A potential caveat is that it requires a specific technique for optimal results, especially for beginners. This grooming block, made from volcanic rock, aids in removing dead hair, dirt, and bringing out natural coat oils, leaving the coat cleaner and healthier without residual grit or odor.

Clean the stone by rubbing it on a rough surface to expose new pores. Ensure no hair or debris is blocking the surface.
Not removing hair as expected
Ensure the coat is dry. Use gentle, short strokes in the direction of hair growth. The stone is most effective on dead, loose hair in coarse coats.
