Tools From the Pet Boutique for Maintaining Your Dog"s Appearance and Cleanliness
Dog owners have always taken a great deal of care to groom their pets and to keep them clean, smart looking and hygienic.
When one considers the active kind of lives that our canine friends tend to lead it is a given that we would want to keep them bathed, their fur combed and their coats in a condition that is at the same time healthy and attractive.
It doesn't take a great journey into the depths of the imagination to consider the alternative.
Most dogs will leap into a pond or a river without a second thought to retrieve a stick thrown for it by its owner.
Many others will roll about in the mud, almost all will "interact" with other dogs given the opportunity.
Unlike cats, dogs are not forever licking and preening themselves.
Sometimes they need a helping hand.
But for dog owners in this day and age the requisite accessories go some considerable way beyond a wire brush and a tin bath.
Instead we are keen to provide our pets with a taste of the creature comforts that we like to take for granted for ourselves.
Today's dog looks and smells great when venturing forth from its home with its owner for walk and play.
It will have been cleaned, groomed, preened and sprayed, sometimes dressed up too just for the occasion.
A parka or hooded raincoat ensures that it will not fall victim to the elements any more that it really needs to.
Dog grooming of course, as opposed to basic cleanliness, is about more than maintaining an appearance when out and about on exercise.
Some dogs are entered into contests or shows, and in such cases the imperative for perfection is greater still.
Here we think not only of the more regular pet products such as brushes and combs, but also coloured hair gel, colognes and deodorising sprays, as well of course as shampoo and conditioners.
The ranges that are available for dogs in all of these markets today is actually difficult to conceive.
Another important addition to any self-respecting canine's beauty portfolio of course are detangling sprays.
With the mud, dirt and general mess that most pet dogs will collect when out at play some provisions with which to detangle fur become necessary if one is to avoid the rather crude practice of attacking the pet's matted coat with a stiff brush, thereby removing big clumps of fur during the process.
Just as we sometimes arrive home from work dishevelled and in disarray but with an expectation of a warm bath and some effort at least to return to our best, so our dogs too deserve nothing less.
