Daily Brushing

[yellowmellie]

You aren't the only one!!!!...I read the whole post thinking tooth brushing and even read your post not thinking anything and was really thrown off by the poster after you!! I had to go back and re-read to know what was being talked about! hahaha


but seriously, do the water drops you're talking about really work? Would it be okay for a dog and a cat? Sounds interesting but I'm a bit skeptical.

hello all,

thanks so much for all your advice. I went out this morning and got her a little flea comb and a pin brush and she seemed to like it a lot more than the slicker brush! She still fought me but much less than usual. I am so glad to have found you guys!!

Lily is 4 1/2 months and I have tried every brush and comb imaginable. She has finally settled some when I brush her back, but legs and face are still an issue. As for nail clipping - wow, she screams when you snip 1/8th of an inch and I am no where near the quick. The groomer told me she was the worst puppy they every had at Petsmart! She has just gotten over pneumonia (antibiotics, robitussin, vaporizer, showers, chest clapping, IV's twice) but still has blocked tear ducts. Holding her for eye drops is a scrambling, nail digging, tantrum. My arms are all scratched from her panic. I am gentle, firm and calm but really she is over the top. I'm open for ideas too - love my darling, but wow..

I would definitely buy a Chris Christensen brush- I bought one for Keoki and it does not prick his skin- it is a little pricey but worth it- Keoki now licks me when I brush him and he has ALOT of hair!!!! Good luck!!!!!

Chris Christensen Dog Brushes Check out this site for those brushes. They are very pricy. I never try it. Let me just tell you what I do with my little trixie. I use the same type of brush that i use on my daughter, and it's working better than the one I bought from the pet store. I use the avon detangler, comb, and the avon detangler brush for long curly hair. My daughter has very long curly hair, and it used to get horrible mats in the back, I had to cut her hair several times, because of that. Well one day while brushing trixie, I got very frustrated because the mats on her hair were hurting her, and the brush and comb from petco, didn't work.I try my daughter's and since then, that is what I have being using. (I bought my daughter new ones) Remember, never brush them while dry. By the way, trixie loves to be brush now.

I thought the same thing until I kept reading. lol

So Ill go ahead and answer on the teeth brushing too lol
I dont brush their teeth daily, Just ever once in awhile and both of mine have perfect white teeth at age 4 +
I dont brush their Hair daily either, I use too, But dont any more, they never hardley get tangles. I think Minnies had 3 tangles and Mickey maybe one in all these years. I do bath them and use conditioner every week to two weeks.

and we use a metal comb goes through their hair nicely.
