Poodle Teddy Bear Clip / Pet Grooming Studio Academy

The clippers can leave a nasty razor burn that can open its way to later infections. If you accidentally give your pet a burn while grooming, stop and apply first aid. Put on some anti-bacteria salve and if possible clean the wound. Hug you pet and let it know that you are sorry and it was an accident. 

Cat owners also find that their cat is very clever at depositing the hairball in places where it's humans frequently walk barefoot, like on the bathroom floor, directly next to the shower. As unhappy as cat owners might be about having balls of half digested hair littering their house, they are even less happy about large hairballs that remain in their house cat's stomach. 

Animals such as horses were groomed by stable boys or their owners as a kind of the embellishing of the owners taste and wealth. As animal labor was replaced by automobiles and machines, the grooming of the animal took on a more personal reflection of the owner, particularly in high society. A well groomed and clean animal was a sign of wealth and prosperity. 

Dogs, who are perfectly happy to splash in mud puddles and swim in rivers, develop an unreasonable fear of water when their owner starts to unroll a hose. Cats who are happy to spend the entire day being stroked by their human, turn into shrieking banshees when that same owner picks up a brush. The first thing a pet owner has to understand is that if they brush or bath their pet at home, there is absolutely no way a pet groomer is going to be able to. 

Some products may have an acidic quality than may leave rashes or irritating marks on your animals hide. If you live in a large urban center, they are large pet outlet stores that carry pet grooming supplies as well as other supplies your pets might need. These stores also have professional groomers in which you can make an appointment. 

Brushes that have soft bristles are the best for brushing guinea pigs, the soft bristles wont hurt the guinea pig's skin. When you guinea pig comes home, teach your child how to examine its eyes and ears and nose, to make sure that they are clean and free of debris. Show them how to use a warm slightly wet washcloth to gently wipe any mucus that might be accumulating in the corners of their eyes.
