Shears

As summer is approaching I decided to buy a good pair of regular and thinning shears . These dogs have so much coat volume it is so easy for them to be too hot. So for their comfort  I trimmed their coats. Most pekingese owners shave their peke down for summer.

I didn’t want to shave them at all as I wanted to keep most length and really cut down the volume ( a shaved peke isn’t a peke anymore to my opinion)

I bought these shears, it came with  thinning shears, and two size regular shears. The price tag was reasonable , $199 , made in Japan.

I started with D’Artagnan as he is the fluffiest.

This was my first time cutting their coat. Overall I am satisfied with the result. He let me cut his hair and didn’t move . I will do this trim for every summer.

Aramis ‘s before after effect is less  as he doesn’t have much volume.

But this trim refresh the coat to grow back healthy.

Lupin non alcohol perfume

perfume

I really love the scent of the new black passion line shampoo and conditioner, however it doesn’t last long on my dogs coat. I would say after 2 or 3 days the smell is gone.  I bought this non alcohol perfume which has a duplicate scent of the shampoo and conditioner so I can make the coat smells argan oil anytime. Simply shake well and spray on the coat.

Apply the mixture to the dog’s dry coat.

Quickly brush with a slicker brush , don’t try to remove tangles.Rinse well.
Shampoo the dog with the shampoo of your choice. I use the maintenance line banana for medium coats.(1:5)
Rinse the shampoo.
Now it’s time to apply conditioner to the coat.
Mix 1 part ph balance, 1 part pek conditioner, 1 part k101.
Add water and mix well.
Pour the mixture to the entire coat in the direction of the hair growth.
Rinse well.
Blow dry with a pet dryer on high level so the tangles open and get away from the skin.
Brush the tangles out then the coat and finish drying as usual.
