I usually do my dogs myself, every month or two. I usually use...ah I forget what its called, but its a Flea&Tick preventative that also smells like baby powder. When I worked at the kennel I would bring my dogs in..I loved bringing Casey, and using this Down and Dirty stuff. I would blow her out all pretty, and clean her up, do her ears and nails, and use some doggie deodorant. And then she would know she was gorgeous and would prance around. Its funny how they know how good they look.
