Grooming Pet Supplies We ll talk a bit about grooming pet supplies and how to keep your dog looking good and better yet feeling good. Your long hair pets should be brushed once a day with a wire slicker or curry brush as it will keep your pet s hair from matting and then a nice bristle brush after to bring the oils out to keep it shining and healthy. Show dog grooming supplies are very similar to what you will need to work with as you will want your pet looking just as good, right?
Matted hair, If your friends hair gets in this state you will have to take your stiff bristled brush and slowly work it out taking great care to not hurt him. If it is too bad you may have to take a pair of scissors and cut it out. Badly matted animals will probably need to be shaved and then kept bathed and brushed but don t worry the fur will grow out and look as beautiful as ever.
For all the short hair types a good brushing with a nice bristle brush once a week will be ok for them. Be sure and get down to the skin as this will loosen flakes of skin and get the blood circulating and make for healthier skin and fur. It will take a little time but soon your pet will lean right into the brushing and love you for it.
It is also nice to bathe your dogs especially the smaller breeds and if the larger breeds are kept indoors you will want to do them also. (Be sure to brush after dry) After a bit they will love to get bathed as the pet shampoo will make their skin feel so much better and for you, a nice smelling pet.
Now for the toenails, When you can hear them on the floor when they are walking it is getting time for a clip. You can clip them with a special toenail clipper for dogs but be very careful and not get them to short and into the quick as it hurts and they will bleed. If this happens it will be very hard to make them sit for you again. You can usually see the quick in the toenail, usually ends at about were the curve starts so cut just past it.
All of this can be done at professional dog grooming stores and they will look after your friend with the best of care. When you take your pet in just watch how they relate to your pet. A good and caring owner and staff will talk to him and treat him like Royalty, your buddy will take to them if they are friendly. You may want to get all or maybe just part done here like toenails clipped, professionals know how to do this and it is over for your pet in a matter of a minute or two. They will make a mistake once in a while and clip to short but they have something to stop the bleeding and best of all you do not get the blame for hurting him or her. Cost: usually about $5.00.
