What Should I Buy For My Pet Grooming Kit?
So you have just bought home your new best friend. Whether it is a dog or a cat it will now require looking after and getting a grooming kit is one of the first items you will need to buy. As pet owners we must take care of our pet’s health by providing the right diet and grooming everyday depending on their individual needs. Some animals will require far more care and attention than others.
Pet Grooming To Ensure A Clean Healthy Coat
Depending on the type of pet you have, you will decide on the requirements of the pet grooming kit; however, as most of us have dogs or cats you will find here the essentials required in the pet grooming kits for those two categories. Grooming of your pet should ideally be carried out on a daily basis but this also depends on the type of coat your pet has. Grooming kits are designed for all types of fur, whether your pet is long or short haired.
Your Pet Grooming Kit Should Consist Of The Following:
1. Brush
2. Comb
3. Clippers
4. Nail Clippers
5. Shampoo
6. Conditioner
7. Flea Treatment
8. Tick Treatment
The brush and comb are designed for all hair types and you should easily be able to find one for your pet grooming kit.
Clippers are usually only used on dogs and some dogs do not require them in their pet grooming kit if they have very short hair.
Nail clippers are a relatively cheap addition to your pet grooming kit but are an essential item as your pets nails need cutting short on a regular basis.
Special Shampoos and conditioners are needed as human alternatives can cause their skin to become sore or cause allergies.
You will need a hair dryer but you can use yours, however some animals become scared of the noise it make so put it on a low setting as to not frighten them too much.
Where To Shop For Pet Grooming Kits
The best place to shop for pet grooming kits is on the internet as you can shop around for prices without leaving your home. If you need advice or prefer to see what you are buying in person then a visit to a pet store would be more worth while. Pet grooming kits are priced around $50 but sometimes buying all the items you need separately will result in you spending less money.

Pet First Aide Kit
In this article we hope to give you some ideas on how to creating your own home first aid kit and the things that are needed inside the kit. These products as well as some medication also may be used in an actual emergency. NOTE: As to medications never! Give your cat aspirin or an aspirin substitute unless you have contacted our Vet, and then after calling your Vet, he will then direct you to do so as well as amount to administer.
Ant diarrheal medication: (Kaopectate) you may give your cat one tablespoon five times a day as a treatment for simple diarrhea. Call your Vet if the diarrhea persists longer then one day.
Bandages: Keep a supply of different sizes and sterile dressing as well as cotton swabs; also have a roll of adhesive tape. You also will want a pair of scissors to cut the tape as well.
Hairball remedy: This petroleum based medication this can be purchased at your pet store or even drug store as well. Ask your Vet to recommend a brand to you and then as always fellow the enclosed directions.
Hydrogen peroxide: You will use this to clean out cuts and disinfect small minor cuts, scratches and wounds. Caution! On wounds around the head do not get in the mouth of your pet at all.
Liquid antacid: (Maalox, Mylanta). You may give one tablespoon for every five pounds of your cat’s weight to relieve an upset stomach. If the vomiting persists, for more then a day sees you’re Vet for more information.
Mineral oil: You may use this to clean your cat’s ears, NOTE: do not use ant Q-tip in the pet’s ear. You may also mix one tablespoon with the cat’s dry food once or twice a week to help relieve constipation, and also help with the cat hairballs problems as well.
Petroleum jelly: You can rub this over your cat’s eyes area when you are bathing. When you do this it will keep the water and soap out of the eyes.
Rectal thermometer: When using the thermometer you must keep your pet still and relaxed as much as possible. The normal range for your cat’s temperature will range from approx. 100 to 102.5 degrees. Consult your veterinarian if your cat’s temperature moves from this range.
Tweezers and needle nose pliers: You can use the tweezers to carefully remove broken glass, splinters, or even ticks from the cat. Use the pliers to remove half swallowed objects out of the cat’s throat if necessary. NOTE: While looking to remove something from the pet’s throat look carefully for any tears in the lining of the mouth and into the throat.
We hope that you can see that if you can have these things in our first Aide kit we you just might see what it means when they say “Be Prepared” and your cat as well as a dog will love you for it as well. After all our pets belong to our families as well, and we want to take care for them correctly.
