Grooming > Best smelling grooming products

PE's Many- Shades Of- Memphis 1282559     Barked: Thu Jan 17, '13 8:36pm PST  There is a lady that comes into our salon with her 3 poodles that uses Prarie Rose shampoo... i think it smells awesome, but one of the other girls think it stinks. Its really strong, but i still think it smells great. we have also had customers come in with buddy wash, which i think smells awesome as well. We use alot of nature's miracle shampoos in our salon, mainly a shampoo called plum silky, which is infused with a conditioner too. I think these can all be googled. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Some things that I have done are scarves during the winter, bowties, and you can always get a blue or green feather in his ear! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Grooming > Stopping the itchies!!

PE's Autumn- On Fire Oodles of- Poodles     Barked: Thu Jan 17, '13 8:12pm PST  First of all, if you havent already, check your food for corn and wheat. They are top allergens for dogs and are extremely common in most dog foods, alot of times can be the first or second ingredient. Second, neem shampoo as mentioned earlier, is a great flea treatmemt, but can dry the skin out if used too often. If you are bathing him often, I would suggest a very rich conditioner for after his shampoo. I have also known a dog or 2 who was allergic to common flea shampoo, dawn dish soap is a good alternative. The thickness of the concentrated shampoo suffocates the fleas. If he has a dog bed or blankets around, using a hypo allergenic laundry soap, and no fabric softener could help. Something optional as well, hypo allergenic toys such as elk antlers can help alot. Also check the ingredients of his dog treats, they are just as important as the food. Even the smallest amount of an allergen ingested can give him a serious case of the itches. Good luck. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Grooming > Dog nails - advice

PE's Autumn- On Fire Oodles of- Poodles     Barked: Thu Jan 17, '13 7:56pm PST  Honestly if the vets are cutting them to the quick, a different groomer or whatever wont make a difference... if the length of the nails are bothering you or your dog that much, I would definitely let the vets put her out and cut them down. It is really the only way to shorten them more, and it will be less painful for her in the future because she won't get quicked as much after they cut them back while she's out. Other than that, filing is really your best bet even if she doesnt like it, or if sharpness is your issue you can look up nail caps online. They are plastic covers you glue on their nails and it makes the tips very blunt and smooth. It is painless to the dog, and they stay on for long periods of time. You can also get them in all different colors, if you like that sort of thing. Hope this helps. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
