Anyone groom their dogs?
 

I'm starting to think it's a waste of money now that I have a country house. He just flippen rolls in dirt an hour after he is home.

if they have short fur than there is probably no need, if they have long? definitely or your dog is going to reek...

lol no, fucking gay

Yah little dogs need it.

At least once a month. Got to get those anal glands expressed.

OK, Life in the country and the joys of having a dog. :1orglaugh, Taken a few years ago.

Lots of stickers and things in the fur.

A pond or creek close by means always wet/damp.

The worst is when you let a friend fish your ponds and he teaches your dog how to hunt frogs. Then she comes home covered with pond scum or worse dried pond scum.

I do my dogs washing/clipping/nail trim/teeth brushing and ear cleaning. I don't want to waste the money so learned to do it myself.

What do [did] you do about ticks?

Get a pit bull, the dirt and stickers are too scared of it

Baddog ......

I give her an oral flea/tick preventer from the vet. The problem is it took 24 - 48 hours to kill the ticks which means they had a whole day to crawl around or jump off when she would come inside.

I would always brush her and visually check her especially in the spring. But yea, she is a tick magnet in the woods.

Now that I live in Florida I haven't seen one on her in years.

Shave it..

Buddy is a tick magnet when we travel to places like IN.

My dig a flea magnet now, frontline doesn't stand a chance against these farm fleas. I guess next I have to try advantage. But I mean stickers, dirt, and lots of random crap all over him everyday. I guess I just need to rinse him off or flea bath him once a week.

Advantage is great!! Buddy never has fleas. When we travel to places that will have ticks I now use Advantix, but for SoCal, Advantage rocks.

My dog has dreads just like his master :rasta

Just keep the dog groomed to ensure the pettings keep coming.

I run with my dog every morning, and she usually ends up in the pond and the stream we run by. Why groom her when she comes home nasty every day?

No grooming for mine, the hair is not that long.

That helps too. Buddy has a job to do and if he is not clean and smelling/feeling good to the touch, he fails.

Advantage is a lot better then FrontLine.

All pet groomers will be shot ...

He is indoor dog until recently and now no one pets or cuddles with him because he is filthy. But even if I groom him he just gets dirty right away.

I think I will shave him down really close.

No... I just fuck mine...

They are just dogs.. No need to 'Groom' them on the internet...

I have an Akita. Sometimes brush his hair out when he's shedding real bad. Usually just let him chill though.
