Best Pet Supplies

Pedicures for humans are totally underrated—I think everyone should have at least one.  (You don’t have to have your nails painted!)   But almost all dogs and cats need their claws trimmed regularly to prevent not only damage to your furniture and household in general, but prevent splitting, cracking, or ingrown claws.  Bassett hounds and Dachshunds are particularly notorious for needing a bit of help keeping their nails at a reasonable length.  Some animals that walk on hard surfaces or cats that use scratching posts frequently shed their claws naturally, but–on cats, especially–check those back claws every so often.

It is a good idea to have a vet or vet tech show you where the nails are on your cat or dog and learn how to trim the nails before you even start.  Dog nail clippers, cat nail clippers and many other helpful grooming supplies are available at First Rate Pets.

One of the most essential dog grooming supplies is something that will aid in the removal of dog hair.  A handy dog hair removal tool is the dream of every pet owner.   There is not always time or energy for vacuuming, and the use of lint roller sheets can become very expensive.

A good dog hair removal solution is the Bamboo 3 in 1 Grooming Glove.  It can be used wet or dry, either to brush and massage your dog, or just to remove unwanted dog hair from furniture.  The Bamboo 3 in 1 Grooming Glove is machine washable and can be used over and over again, unlike lint roller sheets.

This is the first post in a series that will cover all sorts of different dog breeds.  I am starting off with the Non-Sporting or Utility  breeds.

This group includes dogs of all shapes, sizes and functions from the Dalmatian and the Leonberger at the large end of the scale to the Tibetan Spaniel and the Llash Apso at the small. Most of these dogs have been bred and trained primarily as household pets and companions. This doesn’t mean, however, that those dogs in this group don’t still show great bravery and skill as hunters and retrievers.

There are so many dogs that fit into the non-sporting category such as the Bulldog, Chow Chow, Dalmatian, German Sptiz,  and Keeshond (just to name a few) that I am going to just touch on a few today. I think most everyone is familiar with the Poodle. They come in three sizes, Standard, Miniature, and Toy and a number of whole colors (white, cream, apricot, blue, silver, chocolate and black). They are unusual in that they have a single coat. They also most often require professional grooming to keep their coat manageable and healthy although daily home grooming will help between groomer visits. They are very intelligent and can be taught all kinds of tricks.

Also in this group is the Japanese Spitz. This dog breed arrived in Europe  around twenty years ago, but it is already well established. This dog breed has a very thick coat, but usually only requires daily combing and brushing using supplies in a dog grooming kit. This dog is very affectionate and alert.

The French Bulldog is the French version of the British Bulldog. They love exercise and make a charming house dog. Because of their short coat, this dog is very easily groomed using the different kinds of dog combs and dog brushes available. These dogs can weigh up to 28 lbs but they are are sturdy, compact dogs.

Okay, well this is the first installment, but there will be many, many more to come so be sure to check back often and if you have a dog in this group, feel free to add your own comments!

I have two cats and a dog and, as you can imagine, the upkeep on my little family can get a bit expensive.  Luckily I found great cat grooming supplies online.  There was a wonderful selection of everything that my guys need, be it a bed, feeders or shampoos.  The best part is I feel like I’m really engaging with people who understand cats and dogs and not just some kid who works at a chain store who thinks that all cats are female. 

This is a great source for my cat grooming supplies needs. Aside from the wide variety of pet supplies they offer, I am satisfied with the quality of their products which is truly uncompromised. I was more surprised how affordable they were compared to other pet supplies store you could find online.

Shopping here was fun and worry free for me as their customer service is so great; they are very helpful in assisting me in all my concerns from the products to the shipment process. Everything went out well as my orders came perfectly and on time.
