Dog Grooming

First, brush it, then wash it, blow dry it, brush it again, then possibly trim.

Always wash and completely dry your dog before you try and cut or brush out it's hair. if there are many knots do try to brush them out before you wet them down cause that could cause them to get tighter.

Once the dog is washed and completely dry this will cause more hair to release so you can brush them out better or your clipper blade will cut through the hair easier.

Always use a clipper from front to back, top to bottom on a dog never against the grain.

I would not take less than 50% of the cost of the groom. Your weekly pay will depend on how many pets you do and how much they charge for each groom.

I would say wet or dry. It doesn't really matter as long as you only take a very little bit of fur of the dog.

It is also called a scent gland because it enables the animals to mark their territory And identify other dogs. Anus glands are found Near the anus of many mammals. They are paired sacs located on either side of the anus between the external and internal sphincter muscles. Sebaceous glands within the lining secrete a liquid that is used for identification of members in a species.

How do u use Permethrin as shampoo? Strength?

How often? I have fleas all over. It is constant torture..Dr. 2 terms and another on Jan. They gave me cream for my whole body and hair. No way.

I've studied this and I see and feel what they have no idea how to cure this or what it can do to one's

body and self esteem. No one else has fleas, only me. I know I'm allergic to a part of the life cycle.

I break out in exema, dermatitis or hives. No Dr.is thrilled to deal with fleas. It has affected the quality of my life. I've suffered for 6 years. My dog has no fleas. I take 15 Zertec each day.

Help...I am 68!!!

discover the basics of dog grooming and how to get ready to groom your dog. I cover why you need to groom your dog and whether you need perhaps to hire a professional groomer to help you http://e-doggrooming.blogspot.com

There are several reasons a dog drags its rear end across the carpet. Itch, irritation, fleas or even blocked anal glands. If it is occurring after being groomed your groomer may not have rinsed the shampoo off completely or the area may irritated due to being messed with during the grooming process. Or it could be a sign of a more serious problem where your dogs anal glands have become blocked and need to be expressed. If the problem persists you may need to see a vet to have them expressed so they do not rupture, thus hurting your dog AND your wallet.

The cheapest pet grooming store that offers bath services is Ren's Pets Depot in Canada.

Yes, think of it this way........when you get a hair cut,or when your child gets a hair cut do you tip the stylist?I do.A groomers job is more difficult,the dog or cat squirms, maybe even nips,but when you pick up your precious pet they look great and the groomer never complains.So my answer is yes by all means tip the groomer at least $2-3 dollars. Henbane: Dog grooming is a service and not always an easy or a well paid one so a good thing to do is tip. If you can tip a hair stylist, waitress and even the person who carries your groceries to your car, you can tip your groomer.

If you must trim it do it in the Spring.

No. Go to your local pet store and get the tear stain removal formula for dogs. You can get it as a liquid in a bottle or in swabs.

Yes. Though carefully as you do not want to cut the webbing. The hair between the pads of a dogs feet can make it hard to them to stand and walk on slick surfaces like laminate flooring and hardwood just like if you were wearing socks on a freshly waxed floor.

I bought new blades but am having trouble cutting hair after replacement. Any info as to how to replace properly?

PetSmart charges approximatly $50-55 for small dogs $60-65 for medium and $75-85 for large. These are the haircut prices. Baths are 25-60 depending on size. Beware of the add-on services. If they ask you if you want conditioner, teeth brushing or nail grinding, it is extra

Chinese Imperial dogs are also known as shih tzus. They do not shed in the normal manner that you think of a dog shedding. They do however have a lot of hair and strands do fall out sometimes.

There are dog grooming training classes available, both online and in person. It is often not necessary, and you might be hired without completing a training program.

Yes, Alaskan Malamutes have a thick, double-layered coat that shields them from cold and wind. They may require daily brushing, especially if the dog is kept indoors to reduce shedding on furniture. Although the Malamutes coat is very thick, it is not particularly long, but can become matted.

Due to liability issues I doubt anyone would hire somebody so young. I have been grooming for many years and at times it can be a dangerous job. Where I work all employees must be 18.

There is several factors that must be considered. First the mobile van is limited. Only one person can groom at a time in the van and since you are traveling from place to place, in a 10 hour period, you are limited to about 5-8 pets a day. In a salon you can build up to several groomers doing many dogs. However, in a mobile you can charge 100% more than the salon. If you charge $60 for a shihtzu in your shop, you could charge $120 or more in the mobile. In a salon you have monthly rent and utilities, in a van you have repairs and gas. I suggest researching which service your area has less of and than filling the void. You should note that only 4% of grooming clients use mobile

If a person was following the daily recommended allowance for sodium and he/she received all their sodium from table salt, they would take 4000 mg (4 grams) per day, which is equivalent to 1600 mg of sodium. So table salt, sodium chloride, requirement for 1 year would be 4 grams x 365 days = 1460 grams of salt. In the United States, salt is sold by the pound (which weighs 454 grams). So, in a year, a person would need 3.22 pounds of salt, which costs about 85 cents per pound, so the total in salt would be $2.73 US.

Most of the sodium we eat is not from salt but is already in the food, so this answer could vary greatly depending on your diet.

This could be just settled clarifier if it is the best e=way to get rid of it id to vacuum it to waste. if you can get a sample of it and ask your pool shop what it is.

i breed Pomeranians and shave my males belly fur including the penis area for sanitary reasons. you may use regular clippers, or if you have an assistant to hold your dog you may use scissors.

Had a dog with dry skin issues also. Vet suggested oatmeal baths. Worked very well for her. Can find dog shampoos with oatmeal in it already.
