Chadog

Chadog Diffusion has supplied French grooming salons and kennels for decades. Its own-label range is sold here retail, piece by piece.

Chadog Diffusion is a French wholesaler to the grooming and breeding trade. Its own-label range covers unusually wide ground: it is the name you turn to for equipment rather than consumables. Three hundred and twenty-two active items here, spread over eighty-three aisles.

A useful note: this page is the Chadog range sold retail, by the piece and with no trade account. For the wholesale catalogue, go to Chadog Diffusion itself.

Fitting out a salon

This is where Chadog has little competition. The grooming tables run from the folding portable to the folding twin-arm model on castors, and the professional tables go up to the electric Stabilo Elite and the fixed-top Himalia. Among the professional baths, the portable Booster Bath and its ramp are enough for a private owner; the SPA bath is a salon investment.

For drying, the Pro hand dryer and its flexible arm day to day, the blaster dryers when an undercoat has to be driven through: Diablo 2,800 W, portable Blizzard or stand Blizzard. A blaster does not heat the coat, it blows it: that is what keeps a thick coat from being cooked.

What you hold in your hand

The Juliann slickers — medium with soft pins, large with standard pins — are among the shop's best sellers, with the D Méli-Mélo brush and the boar bristle brush, in the brushes aisle. Among combs, the alternating-tooth with a wooden handle, the fine and medium metal double, the rotating-tooth and the Aaronco V Rake; the steel combs, wooden-handled combs and dematting tools aisles complete it.

The uniform, and the workstation

Twenty-four items of tunics and aprons: the sleeveless Carina, the long-sleeved Letizia, the waterproof apron and the tool skirt. Around them, the professional kit: stool, trolley, shampoo dispenser, steriliser, UV cleaner and vacuum bin. And the paperwork that keeps a salon running: client record cards and a receipt book.

Breeding and showing

The box of 100 vinyl gloves is the best-selling item of the entire brand, which says a good deal about the trade. Beside it, in breeding equipment: the microchip reader, the stainless steel scale, the flexible-probe thermometer, the infrared lamp and the puppy pen. For the ring, the show cages and the show accessories.

And the home

The brand's biggest sellers are domestic all the same: the litter tray without a raised side, the Luxurious bowl, the plush mouse and the Chadoux catnip kicker. The range also covers cat trees — the city series, from Berlin to Prague —, the Petstro strollers including the Aventura XL, the carriers, the bedding and the bowls. Finally, what cleans up afterwards: disinfectants and deodorisers, including the heavy-duty professional deodoriser.
