Dog Grooming Schools

I usually use Wahl clippers, and I recently noticed that the springs have started to stretch on one of them.  I tried to replace the springs and it’s more difficult than it looks, so I’ve been using my older pairs.  Digging through my supplies, I realized that one of tne of the other pairs I own never worked properly.  Thankfully, I talked to the lady at Wahl, she said that they would take back the guard combs that don’t work properly.  So I can send them back to my supplier who will send them on to the Wahl, and they will credit me.  Problem solved!  It’s another reason to use a name brand, I suppose.

The inaugural Ultimate Pet Show which opens at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre, (NEC) on 2nd May, has announced a late incomer to its stable of sponsors:  Petplan, an insurance company for dogs and cats.  This will be a neat add to the show this year, and as I think they offer a great product, I’m hoping they get some news coverage.

A woman who marketed “gothic kittens” with ear, neck and tail piercings over the Internet has been charged with animal cruelty and conspiracy.  How can a pet groomer ever justify this action??  I can’t imagine unnecessary animal piercing doing anything other than causing infection, or at the very least irritation, to the unsuspecting victim.  I hope this article sets an example to those who want to try the same antics!!

Pets of all types can find a new best friend in Colleen Hoffman, who has launched Sit N Comb — a pet-sitting and grooming supply business that serves Charolotte, Brookston, Field Ground and Otterbein.  I thought this was a neat twist on a traditional business!

‘blades’.  Maybe once in a great while one will see the light of day and beput on a clipper… but mostly it’s the #10 blade and a SS comb.

One thing with the SS combs:  you can NOT use a #40 blade under the SS combs.  The reason is simple:  the cutter of the #40 blade is set too far forward and will snag teeth on the SS combs. You can kiss your #40 blade good by if that happens. So besides changing to the SS combs, you will have to change out whatever blade you use (that is IF you are used to using a #40 blade with your snap on combs.) At first I was using a #30 under them, but my #10’s work just as well, and less changing blades on the clipper. Maybe I’ve just gotten lazy? Most of my dogs are fluffy, and with my clipper vac I can still get the same lengths pretty much the same as with a finish blade…so no use to use a “blade”.  So yes, maybe I am just getting lazy!

SS combs are by far better IMO than the plastic, so much so that I’ve don’t really even use most of my

Diane Aviles had big plans when she purchased 17 cages, two pet tubs, a grooming table and some cabinets. But in this economy, the funds just “weren’t there” to open up a pet grooming and boarding business. So Aviles decided to barter her equipment worth ,000 on Craigslist in exchange for a good-running RV. Many locals are doing the same during these tough economic times.

Golf course owners and some of their customers are teed off at Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. So are auto mechanics, amusement park owners and pet groomers.  Expect prices to rise for the ‘unnecessary’ pleasures in life as the Governor tries to expand his tax base!

Various models of the true Dremels, those from Sears and a few other
national merchandisers each have a maximum speed setting (some of them
don’t have more than that one speed, but it totally depends on the model as
to how many RPMs it cranks out).
