Discount TrueBlue Moisture Rich Conditioning Crème 12 Ounce


This is just the product that I have always wanted, to give my hard-to-groom dog a salon-style finish at home. I always love the terrific smell and the beautifully shiny, smooth coat that Princess has after a visit to the groomer. But to save time and money (and to spare her the trauma of a salon visit), I often bathe her at home. Now with this TrueBlue moisture rich conditioner, the final results are even better than with the groomer! The scent is great (not so artificial and perfumey)and her coat is shiny and soft PLUS Princess is happy to be bathed in the comfort of her own home!!
Thank you TrueBlue...

DVM Tearless Shampoo by DVM Pharmaceuticals (12 oz) This instant


I got a sample of this from somewhere, tried it, and it is really tearless. Not only that, it smells very pleasant, not obnoxiously like perfume, and makes my dog's fur (Shih Tzu/Lhasa mix) extremely soft, even without conditioner. So, if you can manage to get your dog into the bathtub, I highly suggest you try this stuff!Get more detail about DVM Tearless Shampoo by DVM Pharmaceuticals (12 oz).

Cheapest Earthbath All Natural Puppy Grooming Wipes, 100 Wipes

Lowest Price Oster A5 Turbo Single Speed Professional Animal Clipper


Other reviews said these were good for pet grooming - I should have noticed they all included dogs, not cats. I have 2 Napleons (1/2 munchkin, 1/2 persian) which both have very thick undercoats, and 1 is double-coated. They get mats pretty bad, even with weekly groomings. I bought these to shave through the tough under-coat mats, but they don't even begin to cut through even the smallest of mats! They did cut through non-matted hair reasonably well, but not great in my opinion.
If you're looking for a pair clippers that will do well with cats, keep looking - and let me know if you find any!Get more detail about Oster A5 Turbo Single Speed Professional Animal Clipper.

Cheap Safari Pin Medium-Large Brush for Dogs with Wood Handle


This isn't what I remembered of the original safari pin brushes. The design is different they use the pins that have the pin heads on it insead of the original straight pins. I don't like this type of brush since the ends are what get tangled and pull the hair.Get more detail about Safari Pin Medium-Large Brush for Dogs with Wood Handle.

Veterinarian's Best Hot Spot Itch Relief Spray, 8oz Buy Now


Not only has this kept my itchy little dog from chewing the fur off his toes, I used this on a severely allergic rescue dog, whose entire body was covered in bright red, hot rashes, and within a day his rash went down by half. I will continue to buy this product and recommend it to others.

I read one review that said their dog got very sick from licking this off, and that tea tree oil is toxic to dogs. While I have read that it can be, I'm pretty sure it's only in certain quantities that it becomes toxic, although obviously some dogs are more sensitive than others. I bathe my dogs in shampoo with tea tree and use Earthbath Tea Tree spray-on conditioner and have never had a problem, and have also never had a problem with a Vet's Best product.

Just my 2c!Get more detail about Veterinarian's Best Hot Spot Itch Relief Spray, 8oz.

Safari Self-Cleaning Large Small Slicker Brush for Dogs This instant


I purchased this brush and an Evolution Self-Cleaning brush at the same time, for just about the same price since I couldn't tell how each of them works. In fact, the product description on Amazon is IDENTICAL for both: "With the touch of a button, the pins retract, hair falls away and the pad can be wiped clean. Reposition the button and you're ready to go again." This description is not accurate for either brush. For the Evolution, you press a button on the side (the red button that the picture on the site shows) and that releases a lever which you pull down, pulling down the pins. That takes at least two digits (e.g., thumb & index). It's easier to just use two hands to do it. Okay, good, pins down, hair comes completely free, and that's great. Now, you want the pins back up, but you can't just push the lever back up because the red button is blocking it - you must reverse the process, pressing the red button, and then moving the lever back, thereby raising the pins.

The Safari's mechanism is far simpler to use. It has a big button on the back (1 inch by 1-1/2 inch). Pushing that button raises the "floor" of the brush, effectively withdrawing the pins, and leaving the hair alone on the "floor" where, like the Evolution brush, you simply remove ALL the hair you have brushed from your pet. Once you remove the hair, you just let go of the button (which is on a spring). Thus, the descriptions Amazon has on its pages for these two brushes are wrong, or at least very misleading. For the Evolution, the pins don't retract with just "the touch of a button" - it requires pressing the button AND moving the lever, nor do you just reposition the button - you press the button and reposition the lever. For the Safari, you do just "press a [big] button," but then you don't really "reposition" it, you just let go.

So, overall, the Safari brush is far easier to use than the Evolution brush. The Evolution's handle has indentations for the thumb and index finger while the Safari is basically round, fatter at the end than closer to the brush. Despite the fact that the Evolution seems to "fit" better, I think I like the feel of the Safari better. The metal bristles on the Evolution are a thicker than on the Safari. I have not noticed any difference in performance because of the thickness, though the thinner bristles on the Safari are of course more likely to get bent, but I don't think that will happen. Because the Evolution draws the bristles inside its body while the Safari simply pushes part of its body above the bristles, there is more plastic in the Evolution brush, and hence it feels a bit more substantial. However, I suspect that both mechanisms will last about the same length of time UNLESS I get so aggravated by the two step process on the Evolution I end up breaking the pin or the lever because I fail to follow the press-the-button, move-the-lever process.

The bottom line is the Safari brush is far easier to use: I can't imagine anyone preferring the approach used by the Evolution brush, though some may prefer its feel or think it will last longer than the Safari. However, even if I thought the Safari would not last as long as the Evolution (which I do NOT think) I would still purchase the Safari over the Evolution.

No-Sit Haunch Holder Dog Grooming Restraint Sm Med Dogs Right now


The clamp to reduce the loop for the head is easy to use. Just squeeze and slide. I'm not certain about the comfort of the rubber (at least it feels like rubber) padding around the wire, because it grips a bit too much rather than slide. I'm afraid it'll catch hair or rub the skin excessively. The wire is a bit stiff too compared to the yarn like loop we got with our grooming table. The item does prevent our puppy from sitting down and fits the Maltese profile pretty well.Get more detail about No-Sit Haunch Holder Dog Grooming Restraint Sm Med Dogs.
