Glamorous Pet Expenses 

While you don’t have to run out to the most expensive bulldog barber in town, a good trim can be well worth the dough. Drop the extra money on a good trim once or twice a year.  >> more

 
The Importance of Great Nail Care 

Not grooming your dog’s nails can lead to many health problems for your dog. One of the most common problems is the nail splitting or tearing. If a nail is left to grow too long a dog can snag it on debris or flooring and rip it right off. This means a lot of pain for your pampered pooch and it also means a high vet bill for you.  >> more

My Dogs Coat is Full of Static 

When you brush your pet, use a coat conditioner, detangler, or even a small mist of water to slightly wet down the coat first, before beginning to brush. Adding moisture to the coat before brushing will reduce friction and help to reduce static shocks during the grooming process.  >> more

 
Coping with a Shedding Dog

Gingivitis and Dogs 

The earliest symptom of gingivitis and periodontal disease in dogs is bad breath, known as halitosis. As the disease progresses, so does the severity of symptoms, and affected dogs may begin to avoid chewing hard foods, have excessive drooling, or stop eating due to the pain of their dental problems.  >> more

 
How Often Should I Trim My Dog's Nails 

While some might think the answer is as simple as “when they get too long”, there really is a little more to it than that.  In ideal conditions, you wouldn’t have to trim the dog’s nail at all (except for the dew claw).  That is because if given proper exercise under the right conditions, the nails would naturally be kept to a perfect length.  >> more
