[nagdu] grooming tools

[Daryl Marie]

I didn't receive much in the way of grooming tools - mostly just a brush that Jenny hates.  We have a finer-toothed brush that I use to brush Jenny's fur and she loves it.  I give her ear massages when she gets a good long brushing, especially along her front... she doesn't like it, but she has flyaway fur there. LOL

Daryl.

p.s. Craig, did you ever hear back about your harness question?  I was checking the archives and didn't see any responses... I can email with more info for what my husband bought for Jenny when I get home tonight.

When I left GDB last year, they sent us home with a nice little kit.  It had a wash cloth, cotton balls, ear cleaning solution, a two sided brush, a rubber nubbed thing and a comb.  Also toot brush and tooth paste.  It went inside a fanny pack.  I use the rubber nubbed thing to go against the grain, then brush Chase with the grain.  I follow that with the comb.  Then I brush his teeth.  It takes about five minutes a day.  I also use the furminator once a week and clean his ears with the cotton balls and solution once a week.  
Furminator also sells a deshedding spray that I've been using lately.  It seems to help keep him from shedding.  I spray it on just before the brushing with the grain.  It's nasty to breathe, but it cuts down on any doggy odor.    Afterward, his fur feels a little like using conditioner on my own hair.  
  
Occasionally, I have to use the wash cloth to wipe the eye noogies from his face.

Rebecca, 

I've a Labrador. We didn't get any grooming tools when we received our dogs since many owners before us haven't used them and bought other grooming tools instead. We got a brush in a silicone material with very short prickles both it isn't for grooming but for relaxing. I've only used it one time since I Think it's useless and Hera doesn't relax at all, she plays the hiding game instead. Anyhow, I've bought a steel comb which I also use to my cat. I also have a furminator which I use once a week and I comb her Daily even if she doesn't like it at all. *Evil mummy* 

Kind regards, 
Leye-Shprintse and Hera <3
