Dremel Pet Grooming kit

In times when money is tight one of the members of the family that suffers most is the pet. Along with the food and medicine one of the things you can’t skimp on is grooming. Not only is grooming for dogs about making them look presentable, it directly ties into their health. Some breeds require more grooming than others in order to keep “fluffy” happy and healthy.

One area where you can “cut back” is nail trimming. Nail trimming is important for both cats and dogs. Lack of attention to nails can cause all kinds of pad and foot problems for your pet, not to mention the damage done to you, your clothes and furniture.

For those who have multiple pets you may want to look at the “Dremel pet nail grooming kit”. The kit comes with multiple tools for different sized cats and dogs.  The unit normally runs 59.99.

For the single pet family you should look into the “Pedipaws” pet nail trimmer. Larger dogs might require the deluxe model that carries a bit more power for tougher nails. This unit runs between 19.99 and 29.99.

Both products are available at your local PetSmart.

As always you should read and reread all directions with any home kit and you should always consult your veterinarian.
