What's in your Grooming Kit?

[Giselle]

I have a mess of brushes, shampoo, and combs, etc. But out of all my grooming tools, I could not live without my DREMEL!

Since I'm a groomer I have a ton of stuff at work...some mine, some store use. I don't have any dog shampoo at home, I always wash the dogs at work. At home all I have is a few slicker brushes, an undercoat rake, "The Stuff" conditioning spray, toothbrush/toothpaste/scaler, nail clippers, and styptic powder. At work I have clippers (and lots of blades), shears/scissors (2 curved, 2 straight, 1 long curved,), thinning shears, 3 sizes of nail clippers, "The Stuff", at least 10 different dog perfumes/cologne, bandanas/bows, several slicker brushes, regular undercoat rake, heavy duty undercoat rake, coat king, dematting tools, fine tooth metal combs, shedding blade, 2 rubber curry brushes...and I'm sure there's more I can't remember, I haven't been at work since last Thursday. I also have detangling sprays, ear cleaner/powder, clipper cool, shampoo/conditioner, and various other things that the store buys and I can use. If I ever quit my job I'll be buying a force dryer too, it works very well to blow out the loose undercoat from two siberian shedders, err, huskies.

I'm ready to do some grooming this morning so I thought I'd get a picture of all of our stuff (the picture is somewhat blurry)

• shampoo
• conditioner
• bag balm
• three different type of ear cleaner
• ear medicine-from when Bon had an ear infection
• toothpaste and toothbrush-which I never use any more because they don't need it now that they're eating raw
• 2 types of nail clippers
• 3 different types of scissors
• 2 combs
• 8 different brushes
• bug spray
• spray on/wipe off shampoo
• a tie up in case I need someone to be extra still
• and a clicker...just don't know what to do with it so it ended up in their grooming box

I still want to get a high force dryer, just can't bring myself to spend the money on it! And of course I would need a table too

What grooming kit?

[Pam]

Here's mine. I have more in there but this is what I use. I should really clean the other stuff out.

Ripley was checking it all out so I told him to sit. Please excuse his appearance. He was bathed today and has been air drying.

P.S. The grooming apron was bought for me by a few of my wonderful PT friends for my birthday a couple of years ago.

Pam, on June 10, 2005, you started a thread asking opinions about clippers. Did you ever buy a new set?

[Pam]

No Joan. These are the same clippers. I bought several new blades though. One of these days I will make a decision as to go with Oster again or Andis. I believe the Andis blades and Oster blades are all interchangeable so I should just go ahead and do it. I asked hubby to give me his opinion and he never did so I dropped the idea.
