Grooming an aggressive dog

If your cat is prone to bite and scratch when it's placed in a sink full of water, you may want to invest in a pair of thick, tall falcon gloves that will protect your hands and arms. If you do get bitten by your cat while giving it a flea bath you will want to get to your doctors office right away, even cats that are kept inside, have dirty mouths and cat bites can get infected very quickly. 

In the wild cats need their sharp claws to defend themselves and to help them capture and kill prey, Feral cats keep their nail from becoming overly long by walking around on hard surfaces that wear down the nail, keeping it sharp. The only real use house cats have for their claws is scratching furniture and occasionally swiping at their human caretakers. 

Both elements can cause serious skin damage to your pet which could lead to expensive veterinarian bills. The lack of hair on the body can cause rashes. The hair in some breeds secrete essential oils that protect and lubricate the skin, while others such as Labradors have two coats that serve different functions for the animals safety. 

This method it's very stressful upon the animal, and sometimes your animal might be better served by you clipping their nails at home. Nail clipping for some animals is a horrible experience. Your pet may try to bite you or try to get away from you, putting both the owner and the animal at serious injury. 

Even rescuing a kitten from an animal shelter can cost more then fifty dollars, a young, well cared for guinea pig can be purchased for fifteen dollars. The average guinea pig doesn't need as much veterinary care as a dog or cat. A guinea pig can be kept in the child's bedroom, it doesn't run around the house, disrupting the entire household. 

You turn your dog loose to run for just a few minutes and the next thing you know man's best friend is scratching at your door, there once gleaming coat caked with dirt and debris, and emitting an incredibly foul odor. You now have two options. You can lock your dog outside and hope that it rains hard enough in the near future to wash them clean, or you can take valuable time out of your day and drag them to your local pet groomer.
