[NAGDU] Dog Brushes

Thu Aug 2 04:04:13 UTC 2018

O, no worries.  My dog will tolerate grooming time, but he doesn't
particularly like it.  I haven't hurt him or anything like that.  I
just want him to be more comfortable.  He does have sensitive skin, so
perhaps his dislike of the furminator is connected.  I have used the
slicker brushes, and those go over a little better than the
furminator.

Perhaps I should have looked into other grooming tools before now.
maybe I'm a bad handler for not doing this.  I used to think he didn't
like to sit still long enough for a grooming.  Seriously, this dog has
a lot of energy.  But lately I've been thinking that the combination
of his seasonal allergies and dislike of grooming time may be
something I should fix.  He's a good boy when I need to furminate him,
and I am very gentle with him.  But I would like to get him to like
grooming.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I will look into the zoom groom and/or
email Julie J about her product.
