I really hate bath time…it’s easy to tell when I’m going to have a bath because my owner does the same routine each time, empties the sink, gets my dog shampoo out from under the sink, then goes to the closet to get a towel to put on the counter. I’m small so fit in the kitchen sink. By the time she’s done doing all of that, I am usually cowering in the corner of the couch, or hiding under her bed.
I know it’s silly, because my skin gets itchy and oily, and after she is done with the bath, I feel really good. I am not sure whether to be nervous or happy, because today she wants to tell you about a dog shampoo that is soothing to dog skin, and even has something in it that helps to repel fleas. If this is true, then even I might like to take a bath.
Even though I get treated each month for fleas, sometimes I get a bite anyway, and since I’m allergic to the bites, this leads to a skin reaction, and my skin gets really itchy. Dinovite has a shampoo that is soothing to the skin, cleans you real well, rinses away easily, has natural therapeutic-grade essential oils that have natural, healing properties which would be great if I get bit by a flea or two again this summer…and maybe it will even stop me from getting bitten because it contains that NATURAL FLEA DETERRENT I mentioned earlier.
So if your looking for a nice shampoo for your big or little dog, please visit the links above or below so you can see more about what we’ve been talking about.
Hope you had a happy 4th of July, and that your pooch survived the fireworks!
I’ve been thinking about how nice it would be if my owner would get around to clipping the hair around my eyes, and my nails. She gave me a bath and trimmed most of my hair about a week ago. She gets a little nervous with the scissors around the eyes, so I’m trying to get her to look into the Yorkie grooming instructions provided by clicking here, especially since this is specifically about grooming Yorkies, right down to the littlest detail, and because the Yorkie in the picture at the site looks just like me!
And for some more grooming information, let me remind you about some of the posts we have already written on this blog:
Cleaning a dog’s teeth - this was an article we found that tells you how to clean your dogs teeth, and how important it is. We posted it back when I was having tooth problems.
Clipping your dogs nails - here’s another page that we did that you should find helpful, my nails are quite long now, and need trimming.
Not grooming may cause ear infections - this is about ear infections, but has some information about how not grooming the ears properly can lead to infected ears in dogs.
Those are just a few things that we hope will help you, and now it’s time for us to stop blogging so I can beg for treats and then my owner can try to start working on some quilting.
Here is an article for you with some shopping ideas for your dog, with Christmas coming, we’ll see what other ideas we can come up with to help you.
Dog Food Bowl: Great Gifts For Man s Best Friend
By: Ben Anton
Dogs, like people, enjoy a gift every now and then. Purchasing something that your companion loves and benefits from is a great feeling. As with purchasing any gift, it is important to remember the likes and dislikes, the personality, and the needs of the four legged recipient. It is also important to do a little research to ensure you purchase something worthwhile rather than junk.
We’ve put together a list of a few gifts that your dog might like this holiday season, or anytime praise is warranted.
Doggie Beds
Like people, sleep is an important part of a dog’s life. Providing a comfortable place for him or her to sleep will not only make the dog happier but will also reduce the chances of your pet getting spine, joint and muscle problems.
To choose the right bed, watch how your dog sleeps and, along with assessing the size of your dog, try to find a bed that will compliment their habits. Dogs that sleep curled up may best appreciate a donut dog bed while active or younger dogs may be better off with a chew proof bed. Orthopedic beds are available for older dogs that may have arthritis or incontinence.
Doggie Bowls
Dogs eat healthier when they have a food and water bowl that fits their size or breed. Large dog need elevated dog bowls so that they do not have to strain their neck to get at its food. Smaller bowls are better suited for little dogs so that they aren’t forced to step into the bowl to get at a piece of kibble. Smaller bowls also keep the dog from overeating and getting sick. Newer dog bowls are now designed with dividers inside to help control overeating or fast eating by dogs that are prone to dog bloat or are overweight.
Doggie Toys
Just like with people, doggie toys are meant to make them happy. They give your puppy entertainment, help deflect chewing, provide exercise and can be used as a reward for your dog in place of treats. To choose a good dog toy for your pet, find one that is made specifically for dogs; giving a dog a child’s toy can introduce them to harmful fibers or Styrofoam inside when they chew on it. Also, make sure the toy is large enough so that the dog won’t choke on it and tough enough for whatever extent of chewing your dog may do. Toys that can be filled with treats are very popular. However, make sure to only use such a toy for dogs that are not overweight.
Dog Grooming
Grooming is sometimes difficult. Cleaning, brushing and clipping your dog while also trying to keep them calm can be a challenge for any dog owner. However, sometimes a good set of grooming tools can make the job much easier. Look into a good dog brush that thoroughly brushes as well as trims out excess hair. This will help you get to tasks done at once. If you don’t feel up to grooming your pet yourself, there are hundreds of dog groomers who would love to pamper your pooch for an afternoon.
Caring for your dog’s teeth has become increasingly important. Veterinarians highly recommend that dog owners invest in a good toothbrush for their pet. Dog owners can also buy oral hygiene dog food to help in this area as well.
Everyone loves buying gifts for their friends. Take the time to buy something special for that companion that greets you at the door every evening, curls up with you while you watch TV and provides you countless hours of love and companionship.

This is my friend, Pixel. Pixel visits here a lot, and leaves funny and nice comments on my posts.
Pixel is a Yorkie-Poo, I hope I spelled that right and won’t tell you what I thought it meant at first (LOL), because Pixel’s human, the famous “Pop Art Diva” said she is called that because she is partly poodle. But only about 10% so that’s why she’s almost totally a Yorkie just like me!!
I’ll tell you why her picture looks like it does in a minute…but first, this cute little Yorkie lives in Arizona, and loves to travel to art shows with her owner. I’ve also heard she LOVES her cookies!
Now for the picture, if you are owned by a talented artist, I guess this is what happens to your picture, your hair gets a “Photoshop Grooming”. I bet that if you have a dog picture that needs a Photoshop Grooming, the Pop Art Diva can do it for you, but I’m not sure, you’ll have to ask her. She has a really colorful website right here, and you can find her colorful blogs from there.
AND, not to be outdone, Pixel is going to have her own blog, just like I do. Her blog is going to be pixelthepuppy.com, if you go there now, and there is nothing but a hosting service page, come back and try again soon!
We added another article with some tips about clipping a dogs nails today. I hate having my nails clipped, but told my owner to add this one because it talks about giving treats, and I DO love treats. So if you are having trouble clipping your dog’s nails, this is the article for you…click the link above, or look under the “Pages” heading to the right, and if you want to comment about the article, come back here.
I hope you are having a good day, it’s sunny here and we just went for a nice walk!
