So you've decided to go the home dog grooming route in order to save bucks, right? Well, you'll need some good dog grooming tips before you even go near your dog with a pair of clippers or scissors! These are the right equipment to use and dog grooming Duncan tips so that your dog is groomed safely and comes out looking pristine.

Basic Pet Cleaning Instructions- Since cleaning your pet is such an important part of your responsibility as an owner, you should not only have a sound and regular routine, but you should have the proper knowledge, brushes, shampoos, clippers and other necessary equipment. With correct pet cleaning instructions, you can help keep you pet healthy and clean.

Brushes and Combs- Canines with medium to long hair can enjoy a lot of good grooming with brushes and combs. Regular brushing will help loosen and remove dead skin or dander, dirt, oil and dead hair. Brushing can also spread natural skin oil over the hair, giving the coat a healthy shine. Some brushes also double as detanglers so matted hair can be straightened or removed. Brushes and combs may also be used during shampooing to separate the hair for easy drying later. Choose brushes with rubber grips to prevent slips and bristles that are durable yet strong enough to detangle.

Inside pets generally require less bathing. Also you will find that you need to groom your pet with greater frequency as he ages. Older pets tend to shed hair faster and smell bad more often. If you are new to pet ownership and therefore pet cleaning as well, don't worry.

Bathing- I cover this topic in more detail in another post, but basically you need a tub that's suitable for your pet's size. Fill it with warm water. If your pet doesn't like being put in water, have a bucket of warm water handy. Now, get your non-slip mat, a plastic jug, a towel or hair dryer (depending on the coat of the pet) and canine shampoo. There are many types shampoo on the market. For instance, if your pet has fleas and ticks, get a shampoo for that. If your pet has a skin condition, get a shampoo that provides relief for it.

Nail Clippers- It's important to cut a canine's nails regularly because long nails will push a canine's feet backwards and might result to physical problems later on. Longer nails also tend to break easily and cause bleeding.

Just remember, pet grooming is a tough job but with time, patience, proper tools, and a little help from a friend of family member, it is so much easier and less stressful for you and your pet. I would love to hear the experiences you have had when grooming your pet and how you managed the task.

Where to get pet cleaning supplies? Your local pet store and vet's clinic are great places to shop for pet cleaning supplies. Plus, you can also get the latest product news and trends in cleaning. However, you can always try to shop on your own by going online.
