A Well Groomed Pet Rocks The Kazbar!
If you are the proud parent of a cat, dog or horse, don’t neglect your grooming duties. A well groomed pet looks attractive and cared for but also is better prepared to avoid medical problems.
Your pet’s coat regulates body temperature, and is the most obvious target for grooming. Bad weather and mud can transform any long haired dog into an unruly mess. Matted fur as well as being unattractive is a breeding ground for nasties such as fleas, ticks and so on.
Outdoor dogs, especially long haired ones will have their owner’s work cut out for them in the less clement seasons. A romp in the rain, mud and wind will quickly give your dog a ‘bad hair day’ so prepare yourself for regular attention to his coat..
Luckily for both long haired and short haired dogs of all sizes, a range of fantastic grooming products has been developed to help you in the struggle to stay tangle free.
Stray hair from your pet can provoke allergies, but you can combat this at the source by using a FURminator. This patented innovation gently removes, without cutting, the sub-coat, and your dog will think he is just having a massage.
Ergonomically designed for increased grip, the FURminator’s unique design allows you to carry out your task in the easiest manner possible. it can reduce the amount of shedded hair in your house by nine tenths.
If you are a fan of Kong products, the Kong Zoom Groom Brush for Dogs in Raspberry or Boysenberry will be a welcome relief to pet grooming problems. Through the special design the brush actually works like a magnet for stray hairs, with the soft fibres massaging the skin and coat.
The brush is really gentle on the skin, so Pooch will love it, and may even be inspired to roll onto his back. A circular motion will get the best results.
Long nails are a problem as they can split causing bleeding and possible infection, but nail clipping at home has been revolutionized by the Master Grooming Tools Guillotine Nail Clippers. A non-slip grip and sharp blades are features of this design, modelled to make life easier for the user. Your dog may take exception at first to nail clipping but with practice, you will both be pros in no time.
As a finishing touch, there are so many products to make your dog smell heavenly. 8in1 have an especially good range of shampoos, sprays and conditioners with scents such as Baby Powder and fruity combinations to give the finishing touch to your dog’s beauty regime. Alcohol-free, and softened with Aloe Vera, your dog’s coat will gleam with health.
Westie owners and other pale dog owners may be interested in Eye Wipes to clean away those rusty stains from round the eyes. Clean eyes are a must especially for showdogs where such an obvious slip in grooming could mean the loss of a prize. For your own self respect, ensure your dog looks his best!
