try the fumigator! im pretty sure that is what it is called, i can check at work. its really just a #40 blade that they use on the clippers, but by itself its amazing too. you could just buy a 40 blade, i think it would be cheaper. check a pet store and see if they sell blades in the...

at work we use a blue shampoo, im not sure if its whitening, but we use it on the white dogs. i cant remember what it is called right now, but i work again on saturday i can find out! and ask one of the groomers, the one i think is the best, and see what she says would be best. she has a...

for awhile, try and just have the brush around her and you, let it touch her so maybe she just gets used to having it around then you can slowly start brushing her. im assuming that if you cant get her brushed because she is scared then you probably cant get her nails cut either? if the brush...

um, where i work its hourly or 50% commision. its hard to explain, if 50% commision of the dogs you did for that week is higher than what your hourly pay is for the week, you get whatever is the higher amount. it kinda sucks i guess in the winter months because you really always get the hourly...

i brush my dogs teeth once a week or two. i have heard once a week is healthier for the teeth. at work, we have poultry flavored enzymatic toothpaste. most dogs seem to like it, my dogs love it. and since its enzymatic, as long as you get it in their mouths it does the work for you. i...

if you dont like cutting them, i know the black nails are hard to do, you can dremmel them. thats easier i think, takes longer but its harder to get the quick. at least, i have never hit the quick when i have dremmeled. i work in a groom shop so i have to do it all the time. you can get a...

i see i see, good ideas! i was just thinking water with a taste might make her drink more. shelby doesnt seem to be drinking as much lately. so, i thought something with a taste would get her attention.

BUDAH! i thought of that name for this chi i was going to adopt, (be someone beat me to it when i was stuck at work! boo ) i really like it for small dogs, its silly. :)
