Tropiclean Dog Spa Lavish Pet Facial Scrub and Groomaster Flea Comb

Posted by admin on April 26, 2012 No comment

I bought Tropiclean Dog Spa Lavish Pet Facial Scrub. I always put a towel around his neck so the coat doesn’t get soaked while I am washing his face. I use a pea size amount. This scrub doesn’t foam. It is very mild, doesn’t sting his eyes, and helps a lot with dirt and the tears stains. He tends to lick it while it is on his face but that’s fine as the ingredients are plants and water. I wet his face, put the soap in my hands, mix it a little bit with some water then apply on his face and scrub gently. Don’t forget to scrub over his nose gently lift the skin over the nose and wash very gently.

Once this is done I use the Classic Groomaster Flea Comb to comb his wrinkle. Comb gently from top to bottom on both side. This way you remove dirt between the hair, sometimes hair will come out, this is normal. Rinse the face, make sure you rinse under the wrinkle. Gently wipe the face with a soft towel. Pat dry the wrinkle with a cotton square.

I use a saline solution to clean their eyes and wrinkles. It works well; I simply put some saline solution on a cotton pad and gently clean them. Once this is done I take a dry cotton pad and gently dry them. It is important that the eyes and wrinkle stay as dry as possible otherwise bacteria grow and it smells.

I use to cut their nails with a regular nail clipper until one day I cut too short. I cut the quick and it bled. To stop the bleeding I use a cloth to press on it, then mix flour or corn starch with water and dip the bleeding nail in it. This serves as a band. I was so afraid to cut the quick again, my dogs would feel it when I was trying to cut their nails and it became impossible.

I purchased the Dremel 7300. This is so much better! I showed it to my dogs, made them sniff it and get used to it. It took a little time but with treats and patience it paid off!
It has 2 speeds which is great, the trimming is smooth. The only down part for me is because of their long coat sometimes if they happen to move hair get trapped in. The machine stops so I gently remove the hair from it.
