Are You Fully Equipped To Groom Your Dog?
Suppose you have acquired a new dog and would like to take good care of it including grooming it. What equipment and supplies should you have? To answer this question, we first need to answer a preceding question. What does dog grooming entail? The five basic things you need to do for your dog, besides feeding and taking it for a walk are: Bathing it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], clipping its hair, trimming its nails, brushing or combing its hair and cleaning its ears.
So then, what tools do you need to achieve this? The first is a washing basin, bucket or better still tub. Your dog needs it own container for bathing. This container should have sufficient volume to fit the dog and have a shape that makes it easy for you to work unconstrained. The other associated tools and supplies include a shampoo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and brushes.
The second major equipment you need is a dog grooming table. An ideal table will have a lever that allows you to raise of lower it to your size; it should also be skid free so that the dog does not skid as you work. It should also have a handle where you can fasten the dog to prevent it jumping off or moving around while you are grooming it. Rest assured tables like the one we are describing here, and even better exist in the market.
Since you need to clip your dog's hair,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you will need hair clippers. There are various types of clippers available including simple scissors if need be. Most clippers are electro-powered. You can either get those that have a cord so that you connect to power as you clip or the cordless types which use rechargeable cells. The clippers also vary by size. Heavy duty clippers are faster but there will be situations when you prefer low to medium duty clippers.
Your next tool is a nail trimmer. Like hair clippers, there are many types in the market and you can get either manual or electric. Modern electric nail trimmers even have in-built technology that enables you to know when you have reached the dog's quick.
The tools and equipment discussed here are not all there is. We have not discussed others like hair brushes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and ear cleaning tools but these are basically the most crucial tools and supplies to have. As a final thought, you need to know that you may need to learn some of the grooming procedures.
