By bringing a dog into your domestic household, you are responsible to take care of its needs. Other than feeding it, its cleanliness and health are essential to its well-being and also not pose as a hazard to your home. As more owners are treating their pets as part of the family, dog grooming supplies are abounding in the market to cater to needs to pamper these animals. Before jumping headlong into the ocean of products, perhaps a step back is required to ascertain what you actually require to stock up for basic grooming needs.

Read up on what supplies are recommended to maintain a healthy dog based on type of breed. Normally a brush or comb is sufficient to remove knots and keep your pet’s coat shiny and tangle-free. A suitable pair of shampoo and conditioner to suit your dog’s skin and fur type is next on the list. If your animal is prone to fleas and ticks, medicated versions may be more suitable as advised by your local vet. Additional types of pest prevention and control are also available in the form of sprays and powders. To keep your dog’s hair in order and out of its eyes, a pair of sharp scissors is ideal for trimming sessions. Electric razors or shears make good alternatives in case your dog’s thick and heavy coat is too much work for the scissors.

Ears are an area worthy of attention as onset infection makes an unhappy and smelly pooch. Clean your dog’s ears as part of its bath routine. Ear wipes, drops and medicated powders thus make great additions to dog grooming supplies. Other than odors resulting from infected ears, bad breath is also a norm. Give its teeth a good brushing with a toothbrush of suitable bristles, and toothpaste. As your dog’s teeth get a good cleaning, you also enjoy some play time with him.

To maintain a healthy dog with a breath to match, more holistic approaches are catching on. Since an animal’s diet plays a major role in ensuring a long and disease-free life, natural foods are touted as better alternatives. Free from artificial additives, such foods have their origins in plants, animals or minerals. Going a step further, organic foods have evolved from being hype to reality. As pet owners treat themselves to these foods, they feel their pets deserve the same.

I have had a larger dog and five small dogs in my life. When I was a young child we had a dachshund. As far as I can remember he was a great dog. He was extremely tolerant of my little brother pulling on his tail and all of his antics. It was a shame though that we lived near a highway and he had a habit of roaming. Roaming and highways don’t mix.

The second smaller dog that we had was a basset hound. My mother loved her. I did too. She was so sweet and loved to curl up with us on the sofa. Her gentle nature and good disposition made her a wonderful family dog. There was only one problem with her in that whenever she had an accident or decided to eat anything besides her food it was always in my room or something of mine. Drove me crazy but she was so sweet you had to get over it. She was never aggressive with us and was always a great companion dog.

When I started dating my ex-husband he had a lab. When we split he left me and the lab. I loved and adored Maggie and it still breaks my heart to think about her. She lived to be 14 years old and was a true woman’s best friend. I would come home from work and she would talk to me and tell me about her day. As I lived alone after we split she would sleep across my bedroom door to protect me.

While we were married we added a second dog to our family. We got a Scottie, my first of three generations. Scotties are wonderful family dogs too if they are raised correctly. They can be aggressive and assertive if they are not bred well or handled properly. I raised her from the time she was 9 weeks old and she was a great dog. I got her from a very good breeder who had a good reputation in the local Scottie club. She was gorgeous too – black with a white streak on her chest and in her breed. When she was groomed she would prance around like she knew she looked good. Best of all was when she had a litter and I would be taking pictures of her puppies and she went over and sat behind them with her head up in the air – so proud. She was independent and would let you love on her but she didn’t have to be under foot every minute.

My next two small dogs are the second and third generation of my first Scottie. I have raised both of them from a few minutes after they were born. I have found that handling them a good bit when they are young really helps them be more compatible to people. I have also made sure to expose them to children in the neighborhood so that they are not scared of children. They have been wonderful around my God child and know not to be aggressive with her. My friends also can bring over their children and they are careful and respectful around them too.

The thing I like best though about a Scottie is that they are a big dog in a small dog body. They are not scared of much. They are loyal. They can be hard headed at times – my current dog would turn her back on me and hold her head up in the air when she had had enough training when she was little. What a bugger. They do have to be groomed though and that can add up. I have a good groomer and a visit every 6 weeks is $60. Scotties also live to be between 10-12 years old with 10 being the average age overall. My dog is 9 on Feb 14th and I hope I have her a lot longer as my other half says this is my last dog. NO!

Any of the dogs I have mentioned are wonderful family dogs. They all have their benefits and and issues too but overall they are 100% great. To my liking though I will stick to Scotties.
