Havana Silk Dogs By The Bay pet grooming

When the ear mites start to bite the dogs start scratching at their ears, and excessive amount of clawing and pulling at the ear can lead to some potentially ear health issues. If you notice that their is peculiar odor emanating from your dog's ears and that the dog no longer wants you to touch his ears he is probably developing an ear infection. 

Once swallowed these hairs could form a hairball that can compromise your rabbit's digestive system. If a hairball creates a blockage, your pet rabbit will have to go to the veterinarian where the resulting surgery could cost several hundred dollars. When you are brushing your rabbit bear in mind that the average rabbit sheds its old coat approximately every three months, during this period of time increase the frequency of your brushing, and prepare to vacuum your house twice as often, you'll be amazed at how much hair comes off the tiny body. 

If you are using clippers that make a noise, turn them on a good distance from your gut. Turn them off again and woke toward your pet, turning them on and gently putting the vibration next to the body. When they realize that the clippers will not hurt them, they will be more susceptible in allowing you to cut their hair. 

The supplies you need vary with the type of dog you have and whether that dog has long or short hair. The thickness of the coat is important because some clippers may cause pain or irritation to your animal. Pet grooming supplies can be found at your local but veterinarian. Here you can find clippers, nail clippers, and even small, little clippers that can cut ear hair. 

If you are a do-it-your-self type person there are several safety tips you might want to keep in mind. The animal you are grooming is special to you and you will want to keep the animal safe and calm during the pet grooming experience. Any undue pain or injury caused by unsafe practices can cause emotional stress to your animal and damage to the trust level the pet may have with you. 

Cat owners also find that their cat is very clever at depositing the hairball in places where it's humans frequently walk barefoot, like on the bathroom floor, directly next to the shower.
