Discount Bamboo Small Dog Guillotine Nail Trimmer, Styptic, and File


I work for a County animal shelter and we adopt out over 1,000 animals per year. When we need to clip nails, our employees like to use only Bamboo nail clippers. I think they are an excellent value.Get more detail about Bamboo Small Dog Guillotine Nail Trimmer, Styptic, and File.

Cheapest 12 Pack Dog and Cat Grooming Muzzles, Groomers Muzzle Set


This is a great muzzle set for any groomer. The quality of the muzzles is obvious as they are well constructed and have adjustable straps. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because once you get up to the XL sizes, the muzzles don't really make sense (for example, the 4XL size I got is noticably larger than the 5XL size, and the 3XL looks almost identical to the 4XL.) Still, this price is a steal and there's no way you could purchase 12 muzzles individually and even come close to staying under $20. I feel confident that with this set I can find the right size for any dog or cat that I'm working with. Thanks for the great deal!Get more detail about 12 Pack Dog and Cat Grooming Muzzles, Groomers Muzzle Set.

Cheap Happy Tails Spa Fur Butter (Or for Worse) - An Ultra-rich Deep Conditioning Treatment for Dry, Damaged or Long Coats


This stuff is amazing and it smells good (light scent herbal minty). I wash my labradoodle with an oatmeal shampoo and follow with this conditioner. I leave the conditioner on about 5 minutes and comb it through and massage it into her skin. She is inevitably itch free after every bath. (note: she suffers from seasonal allergies and swims in ocean weekly). I've tried every herbal, ultra conditioner and this one supercedes all the others. 8oz lasts about 6months (bathing every other week) on my large dog (80lb) as i don't over saturate her with it. It does take a little longer to rinse thoroughly, but well worth it to see my girl itch free.Get more detail about Happy Tails Spa Fur Butter (Or for Worse) - An Ultra-rich Deep Conditioning Treatment for Dry, Damaged or Long Coats.

Buying TrueBlue Pure and Sure Puppy Shampoo 12 Ounce


Bought this for our cairn terrier, who has a rough coat that can be difficult to wash and rinse cleanly. This shampoo lathers nicely and has a subtle fresh scent that we like and doesn't seem to bother our dog, even when some of the rinse gets in his eyes. Rinses to a squeaky clean. Would definitely purchase again.Get more detail about TrueBlue Pure and Sure Puppy Shampoo 12 Ounce.

Purchase FURminator DeShedding Tool for Cats with FREE Shampoo


Hi I really think this tool is making a difference. The cats coats are much smoother and brighter looking. As far as shedding, I don't think they would stop shedding unless they were shaved, but this has significantly reduced the shedding and I can actually go a couple of days between vacuuming the darker colored carpets. I think it is a success. The cats seem to like it as much as they like a regular brushing, if they are in the mood...Get more detail about FURminator DeShedding Tool for Cats with FREE Shampoo.

Order The Stuff 16 Oz. Spray


My Bichon's fine but thick coat tangles and mats so easily. The Stuff really works. Helps to dissolve tangles into a very small knot to cut out if necessary. Using it also cuts down on future tangles. Seems to keep dirt from sticking. It never makes her coat sticky.
I love this so much I keep a spare bottle.Get more detail about The Stuff 16 Oz. Spray.

Where To Buy HydroSurge Rapid Bath Equine Bathing System


I have an Akita which has two, very thick coats of fur. They shed only twice a year, but my dog takes about 6 months to shed each time, lol. I had taken him to a groomer when he was only 3 months old hoping to get him used to it, but that was not to be as he was to aggressive for anyone handling him but us. At any rate, I spend about 6 months brushing him out and he only gets a bath when the temps outside get over 90 because I only had outside faucets (cold water). I've tried dry soap, just not the same.

So when I saw this item, I was skeptical but I'm here to tell ya, everything they claim is true! I found a faucet adapter (that was a feat all in its own because universal adapters fit every faucet but mine) got the water luke warm and hooked up this contraption. The dog lathered up real nice and I was able to soap ALL parts of him with no arguments, lol! With a push of a button, I rinsed him completely. He smells wonderful and it only took about 5-10 minutes because like I said, he has a double, very thick coat. I can also see and feel that the soap and water got down to his scalp. My dog is very happy and clean, and I am over the moon. I can finally give him a bath without all the fuss we used to go through. I will definitely give him baths more often due to how easy it is to use this product and I now have the cooperation of my dog! He too loves this item!

Groomer's Edge Power Clipper 401 Review


Okay, I can't really say that for sure. But I've used expensive Oster clipper, cheap Wahls, and just about everything else in between. And these clipper are amazing.

Easy to clean and maintain. Large motor for easy repairs. Handle doesn't heat up, and adjustable speed means blade doesn't heat up any more than it has to (it will still heat up because thats what blades do - buy blades in sets of 2 and switch them out while clipping).

Good build quality, easy to use.

Two long haired are now two short haired dogs, and these clippers combine with Oster blades made short easy work of it.

Worth all the money, hands down.Get more detail about Groomer's Edge Power Clipper 401.

Ingenious Nail Grinder Kit This instant


I have had two of these. I really liked the way it feels in my hand, and the fact that it is electric. It is much nicer than the Oster electric nail grinder, and I think it is a little bit more quiet. I bought this because the Dremel cordless only lasts me through maybe 3 dogs at my salon before I have to switch out and recharge, and sometimes only lasts me through one nail grind on a large breed, for ex a Mastiff-VERY inconvenient and inefficient, a problem that was solved by using an electric grinder. Unfortunately, the Master Grooming Tools nail grinder has a faulty resistor. My first one I had for a little under a year before it started getting sluggish and turning off at random. A week after the symptoms, it died. I didn't save the receipt, stupidly, because there is a one yr warranty (Which doesn't cover "normal wear and tear" btw, and they would have classified my problem under that according to the service rep I spoke to after the fact). Well, I bought a second one in January, and the first week of March I took it out to use and it just didn't turn on- no signs of dying this time. I called the company I ordered it from to ask if I could just exchange this for the cordless Dremel, and they were nice enough to do so. Refunded me my money, told me to keep it (instead of sending it back and having to pay shipping on that) and then sent me the Dremel, free of service charge. (Kudos Petedge for great customer service!)While I still prefer this electric grinder over the cordless Dremel, I can't be out a tool for a week or two at a time. My handyman took my two broken Master Grooming Tools apart and the resistor was completely fryed (oddly, on my new one) and dislodged on my older one. Good thing that came out of this- he just reconnected the resistor on my older one and it works again- for how long, we shall see.Get more detail about Ingenious Nail Grinder Kit.

Conair "Doggie Clipper" 18-Piece Home Grooming Kit Immediately


I decided to get clippers to try on my 2 Pomeranians. They get so ridiculously fluffy that I need to thin out their coats and trim them from time to time. I also bought this kit for all the attachments and for its good price. You get a lot for your money.

I used different combs for each dog and found that the motor was powerful enough to get the job done and can work through thick Pommie coats. This set is likely not ideal or heavy-duty enough for professional groomers but for the family pets, these work nicely. I have no "professional experience" grooming dogs, aside from taking care of our pets for 27 years, but using these clippers was a breeze and my dogs looked great! I watched the short instructional DVD because this was my first time handling clippers and it was quite helpful. Much easier than trying to scissor-trim my dogs.

My set doesn't get used frequently (about once a month). This set is great to use in the months between professional groomings and more often in the summer to help my dogs stay a little cooler. So, my rating is "probably not the best, but good enough for us!"Get more detail about Conair "Doggie Clipper" 18-Piece Home Grooming Kit.

Oster Power Bather Best Quality


I was hesitant about buying this item because it was expensive. I am glad I splurged and purchased this item. It makes bathing my dogs an easy quick process. I have two dogs (border collie and german shepherd). It takes me approx. 10 minutes to shampoo, condition, and rinse each dog. You don't even have to use your hands to scrub the dirt with a towel. This device has a high pressure hose( you can adjust the pressure) that get down in between the dog's skin and fur and lifts out the dirt. It does it in a massage like way. My dogs love the sensation because they are still and seem to be relaxed while I am doing it.

How it works? You simply place the pump in a tub or a sink where you are planning on bathing the dog. You run about two-three inches of water. Sit the pump in the water and turn it on. There is also an air controlled foot pump where you step on it to turn it off or on. The pump keep recirculating the water to clean the dog. I simply add a capful of shampoo to the water and the pump mixes it and sucks it up to the high pressure hose. When I am finished shampooing I let the water out and put clean water to rinse thoroughly.

I hated giving my dogs a bath and this pump makes everything so much easier. It is expensive but I think with use over time it would make up the costs.Get more detail about Oster Power Bather.

Andis 23410 Deluxe Pet Kit Get it now!


I bought this clipper as a replacement for a friend whose previous Andis clipper I had borrowed (and my dog had bitten through the cord :-{ ). I patched the old cord, and was able to use it successfully 2-3 times. This week, we tried both the new and used clippers on four different dogs of various sizes and hair types -- and neither will trim more than a minute bit hair off any of the dogs. Very frustrating. I could understand if the older clipper had a dull blade, but the new clipper had exactly the same problem (and it has been used less than 8-10 times), rendering it unusable. When the clipper worked, it worked well -- but not working after a handful of uses is unacceptable.

"Bamboo" CAT Rotating Fine Tooth Comb Order Now


I have multiple cats and purchased two of the Bamboo CAT rotating Fine Tooth Combs. They work well for combing a long haired cat but I purchased it to have a long and short handle and the handle will not slide open on either of the ones I purchased.

I forced the handle to slide to the longer position on one comb using tools but have to leave it open. If I close it I am not able to open it again without forcing it with tools. I contacted the product customer service who said I could ship it back and they would replace it. I thought there might be some special way to open them that I was missing. They didn't have any additional instructions to offer that work. I have sprained my shoulder a couple of times trying to slide the handle. They offered to replace the combs. Not worth the cost of shipping since I don't know if new ones would be any different.Get more detail about "Bamboo" CAT Rotating Fine Tooth Comb.

Cheap Pet Jet Washer - Sprays Water and Shampoo for One-Handed Grooming


I saw this on sale for around $20.00 at my local Petsmart. This was the lowest price for a spray shower adapter I could find at the time, so I decided "why not." Prior to using this, I used an old plastic pitcher to wet and rinse my dog down in the tub. The pitcher method works, but spray showers are much easier to use.

My assessment on this product's features:

Easy lock button to keep water flowing continuously: Can help prevent hand fatigue when bathing larger animals.

Comfort grip handle for one handed operation: It's okay, not sure for people with small hands.

Two quick connectors allow you to connect the Pet Jet for outdoor or indoor use: You can leave the kitchen/bathroom connector on indefinitely, however, I'm not too sure about the garden hose. Maybe if you have a quick connector setup for your garden hose. Personally, I would've preferred having a quick connector that attached to a standard dual shower-head configuration.

Dual trigger action, press button for soap and squeeze handle for water: If not using the shampoo reservoir, pressing both buttons increases the water pressure - not enough to harm the animal, but it does make rinsing faster, especially for double-coated dogs that are hard to wet down.

Internal shampoo reservoir holds enough shampoo for several washings: Not sure if it holds enough for several shampoos, but it does make bath time easier and faster. Just be sure to dilute your normal-brand pet shampoo.

Other thoughts:
Make sure you don't cross-thread the connector to your bathroom/kitchen faucet. There are only a few threaded rows, and if not careful, they can be easily cross-threaded. Use a wrench to tighten if necessary.

Don't leave the water running when the spray shower is idle. This causes a build=up of water pressure and the hose could rupture if you're not careful.

Before disconnecting the hose, turn off the water and release the trigger on the sprayer to void the hose of excess water. Remove the sprayer from the hose, and let the hose completely drain.

Conclusion: Overall, I'm satisfied with the product, but I doubt I'd have made this purchase if it wasn't on sale.Get more detail about Pet Jet Washer - Sprays Water and Shampoo for One-Handed Grooming.

Buying HydroSurge Conditioner for Pets and Horses, Ultra Soothing Oatmeal, Apple Scented, 16-ounces


My dog tends to get itchy dry skin and flakes and I had been looking for something beneficial to use on her for some time. So many products for animals are full of ingredients that are more hazardous than helpful I had been concerned about what I was going to use.

So far, I have been very happy with the HydroSurge Ultra Soothing Oatmeal Hair Conditioner for Pets and Horses. While she wasn't the biggest fan of sitting in the tub with me for the seven or so minutes it took to leave in and do it's work, she hasn't had a flake since we've used it and she hasn't been scratching nearly as often as she was.

Luckily I have a small dog so the waiting period was not as difficult, I can imagine a larger animal would be tough to corral in long enough to use it as directed. Still, it has made a very genuine improvement on my dog's skin, and coat and overall quality of life. I say it was well worth it.Get more detail about HydroSurge Conditioner for Pets and Horses, Ultra Soothing Oatmeal, Apple Scented, 16-ounces.

Halo Cloud Nine Natural Herbal Eye Wash for Dogs and Cats, 0.25oz Decide Now


This product is truly amazing. My sixteen-year-old Maltese was having a problem with what I call "goopy eyes". I bought this to see if it would give her some relief, but it has done something that it is not advertised to do- her old, cloudy/milky eyes are clearing up. She was developing cataracts, and after one round of these drops, her eyes look dark and clear again. I had to do some research online to find out what was going on, and eyebright is listed as being known to help prevent and clear cataracts. I had no idea, but what a pleasant surprise! Duffy already is looking younger and more bright-eyed, and hopefully this will improve her less-than-perfect eyesight, as well. As for the goop- that is clearing up also. For us at least, this has been a miracle product. Thank you Halo!!!Get more detail about Halo Cloud Nine Natural Herbal Eye Wash for Dogs and Cats, 0.25oz.
