What makes a grooming product worthy of a place on your shelf?
Is it the strength of the handle, the precision of the bristles, or the knowledge that your customers will come back for more?
For pet retailers and distributors, choosing the right wholesale pet grooming products is a strategic decision that affects brand perception, customer loyalty, and the quality of service.
It’s no surprise, then, that an increasing number of businesses are turning to white label grooming solutions, ready-to-market tools that combine industrial-grade design with flexible branding options. Such solutions enable you to expand your product line quickly without compromising on quality, aesthetics or time to market.
Let’s see how to identify professional-grade grooming accessories and what to look for in a reliable wholesale partner.
What defines a professional grooming product?
The global increase in pet ownership has transformed the grooming industry, turning it from a niche service into a booming business. Consider that, in 2024, 72% of U.S. households owned a pet, with over 93 million dogs and 98 million cats nationwide. This trend shows no sign of slowing, particularly in fast-growing regions such as the Asia-Pacific, where urbanisation and rising income levels are leading to increased adoption rates.
As the grooming market expands, so do customer expectations. Pet owners are becoming more attentive to the quality of care their animals receive and professionals require tools that can meet these new standards.
So, when approaching the pet grooming market, one of the big questions is: what defines a truly professional grooming product in this context?
We believe that such tools must:
- Feel ergonomic and balanced to reduce hand fatigue during back-to-back appointments;
- Also withstand water, wear and disinfectants and be made from antibacterial plastics or responsibly sourced wood;
- Deliver consistent quality, ensuring that every piece in a batch performs and looks the same.
- Match your brand’s aesthetic, especially if they’re part of a premium retail offering.
Why white-label grooming products are a smart move for pet retailers
Not all growth has to come from innovation. Sometimes, it comes from making smart use of what already works and adapting it to fit your brand. White label grooming products allow you to do exactly that.
Rather than investing time and resources in designing tools from scratch, retailers and distributors can access pre-tested, salon-grade solutions and transform them into a distinctive product line.
Unlike other solutions, white label grooming tools offer:
- Proven designs that are engineered for daily use in professional settings;
- Customisation across materials, logos, colours, and packaging;
- Scalable production from trusted manufacturers;
- Lower supply chain risks and shorter lead times, especially when made locally.

Top-selling wholesale grooming products for dogs
As we mentioned, demand for wholesale dog grooming brushes continues to grow, particularly as more pet owners seek high-quality, professional-standard tools. The most requested products in the wholesale market right now are:
- Slicker brushes for detangling and de-shedding;
- Combs for fine grooming and finishing;
- Rakes and carders for thick or double coats;
- 2-in-1 tools that combine brushing and massaging functions.
Each product category serves a different purpose, so choosing the right mix for your catalogue depends on your target audience.
That’s why Minelli PETS offers three distinct lines:
- Maestro Line: comprises heavy-duty plastic tools engineered for intense daily use. Waterproof, antibacterial and highly durable;
- Prime Line: wooden grooming tools with ergonomic, anti-slip handles that are designed to reduce hand fatigue. Ideal for high-end retail outlets and salons;
- Smart Line: hybrid tools combining wood and plastic elements for an affordable, versatile everyday grooming option.
Both lines are available as white label solutions, enabling you to offer reliable grooming products under your own brand with consistent quality and a fast time to market.
How to choose the right wholesale pet grooming products
Not all grooming tools are created equal, nor are all wholesale offers built to support long-term business growth. We understand that selecting the right partner can be challenging due to the numerous factors that need to be considered.
To help you with this, here are some essential criteria to consider when choosing a wholesale partner:
- Manufacturing quality: tools must be durable, hygienic and ergonomically designed. Handles should reduce fatigue, bristles should be resilient, and materials should resist moisture and daily use;
- Batch consistency: even a single faulty product can undermine customer trust. Ensure your supplier maintains strict quality control across every production run;
- Customisation options: the best white label suppliers allow for smooth brand integration through branding, packaging, colours and even iconography;
- Production reliability: local production hubs, such as Minelli PETS’ facility in North Carolina, enable faster and more predictable deliveries, as well as simplified logistics;
- Compliance and sustainability: with increasing scrutiny of product origins, materials, and supply chain ethics, choosing a partner that adheres to environmental standards, such as Lacey Act compliance or ISO 28000 certification, can improve your reputation and help you manage risk.
Expanding your pet grooming line starts with the right manufacturing partner. At Minelli PETS, we produce high-quality, white-label grooming tools that combine performance, comfort and style. Our product lines are designed for high-volume sales, fast delivery and full brand customisation.
