How to groom a puppy who bites the brush and won't stay still?

First of all, Bentley is way too young for a bath (unless he has gotten into something nasty). It is a good idea to bathe him twice a year, just as the hair starts to clump. As for the equipment: I had a Samoyed for years, and also Siberians--another double-coated breed. Your best bet is to use a rake (made for dogs, not your lawn rake!). Aside from a general going-over to get the loose hair out, the best method for grooming Bentley is to pick up a section of hair., as if you were going to tease it. Do nothing with the section except hold it. Rake what's left underneath (the undercoat). If Bentley's hair is really clumping, you can grab a handful yourself. You might want to use the metal comb to get the hair around his face, but it's not really necessary--nor are all the other products you bought. You can train him to the rake by initially just showing it to him with a treat. Just run the rake gently over his coat and treat/praise when he leaves it alone.

Dog Zoom Groom for my cat? What's the difference? Should I return it?

Great question! From what I can see, there's really not much difference between the Zoom Groom for dogs and cats. The cat one is a little more flexible to give your cat a massage when you groom them, which cats love. Supposedly the gentle massage action calms stressed or anxious cats. I don't think it would hurt at all to use the dog one on Luna, but if you want the massage action for her, then I would return it and get her the cat one. You can also try the dog one on her and if she hates, then get the cat one. I hope this helps, and thanks for contacting Pet Coach!

How can I make bath time less stressful for my dog who hates baths?

You can try an over the counter calming supplement such as zylkene or composure in combination with offering rewards during the bath such as treats. It will work best if you have two people, one to bathe the dog and one to feed treats while the bath is going on. You can even take a long wooden spoon and put peanut butter on the end so they can hold it in front of her face and she can lick the spoon while being bathed.

How to clean my dog's ears, teeth, trim nails, brush fur, and bathe?

All good questions!. Dog's ears are shaped a little bit differently than people's ears. You don't have to be very scared of damaging the ear drums because the canals are L-shaped. As long and you go straight in and do not try and bend a q-tip in a 90 degree angle, there should be very little chance for damage. A cleansing formulation should be available at most pet stores. Deposit this into the ear first, massage at the base of the ear, and then clean the ear with gauze and/or q-tips. Be sure to get most of the liquid out, as leaving residual moisture in the ears can actually cause an infection. As far as teeth, tooth brushes and doggy toothpaste is readily available at your vet or a pet store. You don't have to brush them every night, but once or twice a week would be great. Depending on the color your dog's nails, you can sometimes see precisely just how far you can clip the nails without causing a problem. If you cut too far, you will sever the small blood vessel at the en

My dog got drenched in rain. Should I bathe him or let him dry?

Hi and thanks for using Boop by Petco! Good to hear you and Ziggy are out walking despite the rain. You certainly can give him a bath if you want to. Routine bathing is best done with an Oatmeal Dog shampoo and I like to advise an Oatmeal Shampoo that doesn't have soap or detergent in it. This way your flea and tick products that you use won't be stripped away and will actually last as long as they say. You can also use an oatmeal based coat conditioner to condition the skin and hair coat. Good luck with Ziggy. If you don't want to mess with bathing, you could always spray a nice dog cologne or pet odor spray on him and then towel dry him off. Have fun and keep walkiing.
