HOW IMPORTANT IS YOUR DOG TO YOU?

How often do you groom your dog? If you decide to do it yourself, these are the items that you need to have in your basket:

1. Brush 2. Comb 3. Clippers 4. Nail Clippers 5. Shampoo 6. Conditioner 7. Flea Treatment 8.Tick Treatment

Grooming of your pet should ideally be carried out on a daily basis but this also depends on the type of coat your pet has. Grooming kits are designed for all types of fur, whether your pet is long or short haired.

The brush and comb are designed for all hair types and you should easily be able to find one for your pet grooming kit. Clippers are usually only used on dogs and some dogs do not require them in their pet grooming kit if they have very short hair.

Nail clippers are a relatively cheap addition to your pet grooming kit but are an essential item as your pets nails need cutting short on a regular basis. Special Shampoos and conditioners are needed as human alternatives can cause their skin to become sore or cause allergies. You will need a hair dryer but you can use yours, however some animals become scared of the noise it make so put it on a low setting as to not frighten them too much.

Where To Shop For Pet Grooming Kits
The best place to shop for pet grooming kits is on the internet as you can shop around for prices without leaving your home.

If you need advice or prefer to see what you are buying in person then a visit to a pet store would be more worth while. Pet grooming kits are priced around $50 but sometimes buying all the items you need separately will result in you spending less money.
