Are high velocity dryers safe?

Sun, Jan 4th 2009, 14:25 GMT

Are they safe and helpful? Do they help get rid of loose fur? Do they make fur looser so they shed more later? Thinking about whether I would want one. Are they more helpful than the furminator?

Grooming My Shih TZu

Sun, Dec 14th 2008, 06:06 GMT

Suzie, my almost 3 year old Shih Tzu is not a big fan of being groomed. So we do it ourselves, and she is ok with it. But the thing is that we really don't have a clipper. We bought a cheep one, major crap. Then we bought a more expensive cheap one, also major crap. Then we used the flowbee (some really old thing that we tried). It worked but it sucked up her skin a little and that scred me and I don't want her to get hurt. And Suzie has wavy hair instead of straight, which mats very easily, which is why we keep her short all the time. I would like o know what you guys use on all your Shih Tzus, from clipper brands, blade sizes, every thing. And price ranges. I have looked but I have no idea what I'm looking at! lol Any info would be helpful. Thanks A Bunch!

How to wash my dogs face?

Fri, Nov 28th 2008, 11:12 GMT

My shih-tzu is good handling baths.If I get on my bathing suit and get in the shower with him he gives me no trouble whatsoever and doesnt mind the water much but when I try to get his face clean he immediatly tries to escape from me.He doesnt allow water anywhere near his face.He is starting to get stains under his eyes because of tears and its starting to smell but he wont allow me to clean his face no matter how gentle I try to be with him.Try to use doggy wipes but he doesnt like it much either. What can I do to get his face clean?

Is Pedipaws a good nail trimming tool for my small dog? He doesn't allow more than a very light brief second of filing.

Fri, Nov 28th 2008, 06:14 GMT

I'm following all the directions that came with the tool a few weeks ago, and at this point my little dog even comes to me when he hears the buzzing sound because he knows there are treats to be had if he lets me very briefly touch his nails to the spinning file. However, he is very resistant to allowing sufficient time or pressure for me to do any real filing. We just can't seem to get to the next stage. Should I persist? Also, the dew claw is almost curled around to form a donut shape. Is the dew claw a good candidate for this procedure? Thanks so much!

If there was a self-grooming facility in Lowell, MA, would you use it?

Fri, Nov 21st 2008, 01:48 GMT

Self-grooming areas allow people to groom their own dog for a smaller fees than a groomer doing it for you and you are not breaking your back grooming the dog in the bathtub. These places have grown very popular in western United states. If there was a self-grooming facility would you us it?

Its getting cold and she is shedding more than ever...why

Thu, Nov 20th 2008, 05:45 GMT

this is about Sasha...is this normal? Shouldn't she be getting her winter coat not shedding it all off....Is she going to freeze? Of is her winter coat coming in so she is shedding older fur? I guess I just thought since it was getting colder she would need all the fur she could get? Also is there a special brush where I could take her outside and brush her to help with the shedding? I don't mind I just get the vacum out a few times a day...this is the first dog I've had that sheds so I don't know much about shedding...(I've had poodles and stuff)
