I just sent Blue Buffalo a email, hoping they will send me a sample to try, sounds like a great dog food. How much do you pay for it? Thanks for the great info!

I have to admit it is ONE of the extravagances I have for the dogs. It's on the top end of pricing but I really believe in it. And believe me.. I am ALWAYS looking for deals so if something is top dollar and I STILL buy it.. It has to be WONDERFUL

So far I have found it in petsmart and Pet valu but no place else around her....BUT>>>> WOHOOO they are opening up a new Petsmart near me in a few weeks . Right now there are 2 , but they are 25 and 30 minutes away. This new one will only be 15 minutes away.
I have to admit tI LOVE the one 25 minutes away. It's older and VERY large and they always have great clearance stuff

Cutest reflective leashes and collars......$1
Snap tight food containers for dogfood.....$1
Cute lined basket big enough to hold lots of toys.....$1
Mini cloth covered hair bands....$1 for a big multicolored pack
Snap tight Goody, baby ,rich colored barrettes....$1 a big pack

Be careful with the pupcorn dog treat, my family's dog(weinie dog) ate those and vomited all over the place after having just one! It might have just been her...but she never had a weak stomach until then!

Sorry...just FYI

Really. My dogs love them. But I'm sure it's just like with humans....some don't tolerate certain foods too well.

Thanks for the notice

Thanks Yorkieangel for all the tips, and my gang of 7 yorkies love to air dry. The blow dryer scares them to much.

Gingergirlsmom · 08-20-2006, 05:13 PM

Umm, okay, Ginger has really dry skin, and I have a really stupid question about olive oil.

In their food or on their skin?????

I'm going to try the combing, the three minute miracle and the combing. Do I understand you right, you comb before and then not again until after they're completely air dried???

I use it IN their food. jut a bit . Like maybe 1/4 teaspoon with each feeding and just swish the kibble around so it coats it. You can also use vegetable oil if your wanting to save even more money. I found it actually works as good as the Olive oil.

I comb out any knots wash with shampoo of choice. ( i actually am always trying new stuff from dollar store stuff to expensive stuff) then I squeeze any water off them and then slather on the AUSSIE 3 minute Miracle DEEEEP and wait 3 minutes if I can. Sometimes I get impatient after 1 minute and just rinse it off but 3 minutes works better. Then just rinse with warm water and then towel dry and let them air dry. Then when COMPLETELY dry I use the fine tooth steel flea comb to comb them out

OH>>> I also found out if you use WARM and not cool rinse... for some reason the hair comes out better. Don't ask me why.. it just DOES

cindy0721 · 08-20-2006, 07:15 PM

thought I would add.. I found that the BIG Tub of hair cholesterol helps their coat as well.. leave on for 2 mins and rinse... gets rid of tangles and makes their coats soft and shiny.. same thing with that aloe vera serum.... works great ...a little goes along way....

Thanks! I made the assumption that you meant in their food (lol) and added a little to her final feeding. She gobbled it up!!!

One more question, how often do you bathe your yorkies???

newmommy · 08-21-2006, 11:31 AM

great post!!

Gingergirlsmom · 08-21-2006, 02:47 PM

Okay, I know you said (cheap) any shampoo, but another thread recommended oatmeal. Tomorrow is bath day, but I just couldn't wait! I bathed her in the new oatmeal shampoo that I picked up at Petsmart 1/2 hour ago, and used the 3 minute miracle that I bought earlier this afternoon. She's currently "air drying". LOL it's really funny, she runs around, shakes, and comes back and sits by my feet. I'm pretty sure she's waiting for me to dry her.

I'm skeptical though...think we're going to have curly butt!
