Till this day, I've never seen a dog that likes to be blow dried plus to me, I actually feel blow drying hair isnt good for people or dogs. It dries the hair out and people wonder why their hair and their dogs hair gets dry or dull looking. Both of my puppies hate the dryer more than any part of the bath. I also pick up stuff at dollar general for my dogs. I got a mixed bag of stuff a while back it had 6 peices in it for 5 bucks and it came in a cute little draw string clear plastic bag which I can use to put bows, hair brushes, etc in. I say little but its actually pretty big bag. And so far these two puppies have played with the toys that came in that bag more than they do the more expensive toys. I do use cowboy magic shampoo, conditioner and detangler as I like it and it is NOT expensive. A little goes a long way. I use vinegar and water to take away waste odors and then I have some spray and dry carpet cleaner for pet odor I spray after the vinegar on my carpet. It smells great and it came from dollar general also. I also bought a bottle of OUT at tractor supply. It suppose to remove all kind of stains including vomit, urine, poop and blood. So far, I love it and I paid 5 bucks for a 32 oz. bottle and it smells really good. My house never smells of pet odors. I cant remember what else i've purchased there but many things for my house cleaning and also for my pet. two little beds at 10 bucks each and they love to lay on those. So I just dont think you need to spend your life savings on dogs, I have better things to do with my money. But I'm not one for dressing them up except for bows which I get lots of those from law dog bows on here but I get some at the dollar store too. Good luck to every one on shopping and saving. Dang gas is so high now and hubby drives 100 miles each and every day to work and back and that alone gets expensive. But my dogs have just as much fun playing with the cheap toys as expensive ones. |
