Homeless Dog Gets Makeover That Saves His Life! - Joey

A guinea pig can be kept in the child's bedroom, it doesn't run around the house, disrupting the entire household. In short a guinea pig is a smart choice to teach a child about the responsibility needed to care for a pet. One of the skills that children will develop when they are raising a guinea pig is pet grooming. 

Although you shouldn't have to trim the nails of your new puppy or kitten, you can make play with their feet and start getting them accustomed to the feel of your fingers against their paws. This will make your life easier down the road. When your grooming process is complete reward your young pet with treats and play time. 

Also run your fingers through the animal's coat to make sure that all mats are taken off properly. If you're happy with the services of the pet grooming experience, it is customary to tip the professional at least 15% of the total charges. To ensure less frequent trips to the grooming expert, it is advisable to brush your cat out daily and avoid the unsightly mats as they appear. 

Dry skin in dogs is just as painful and scratchy to a dog as it is to a human that suffers from a similar condition, and dogs can rub lotion into themselves to correct the problem. When you are grooming your dog make sure you pay attention to their ears. Dogs can get small biting insects called ear mites in their ears. 

Watching a cat bathe itself can be a hypnotic experience for its owners. We are so accustomed to our house cats taking care of their own hygienic needs that we sometimes forget that they, just like dogs, need us to help with their grooming. It is the cat owners responsibility to make sure that the cat's nails are trimmed, that any particularly nasty mats and knots are removed from their coats, and that their teeth are kept clean and free of tarter and decay. 

You'll need a variety of clippers, scissors, brushes, and combs. 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.
