Rewards Lead to Proper Pet Care

The secret to proper pet grooming at home is a reward system. All pets love treats, and when a treat is offered just before and after a nail trimming, it goes along way to making those pet nail trimming sessions much easier, safer, faster, and more enjoyable for yourself and your pet.

Associative conditioning is crucial for new pets and pets that have been traumatized by past grooming sessions. It also creates a bond with your pet that can be carried over to other parts of your owner-pet relationship. By using this system of conditioning your pet with a positive experience after a nail trimming encounter, you will now be able to show the treats in advance and your pet will already know what is coming, and be ready and waiting for there next pet nail trimming.

Keep the rewards pure and positive so your pet gets a high quality healthy treat in the process. Pet treats loaded with omega-3 essential fatty acids and antioxidants will help maintain healthy skin and coat, as well as go a long way to prevent cancer by helping control a healthy metabolism and overall cellular health. At home dog grooming does not have to be difficult, and with a positive rewards system in place, you can turn a grooming session into a bonding session.

Peticure at US Pet pro classic

I bought this new file at the US Pet Pro Classic in Dallas and wanted to tell you about it.

First, here is their website: www.peticure.com

I like it because it is not quite as loud as the dremel, I don't have to inhale all of that ground nail powder (usually when I use a dremel, I have to BLOW toward the dog's foot while I'm filing so I don't inhale that nasty ground nail powder!).But the best part is how safe it is---the long hair on the ears and feet can no longer get caught and wrapped around the tool! I LOVE IT.

PETICURE REVIEW - MY DOG LOVES IT!

Peticure is a great product and my dog loves it. It is so easy to use and my dog certainly enjoys not being in pain. When I use the old style of dog clippers they would shred my dogs’ nails and she would cry. With the peticure there is no pain and no threat to hurting my dog.

At first my dog was a little skittish of the peticure tool, but after using it twice a week for a few weeks she is now fine with it. I have to use it a few times a week because my dogs’ nails were so long from not having her nail cut in a year because I didn’t want to hurt her.

I have the peticure elite and I have not run into any problems in the two months that I have had it. I only use it twice a week for about five minutes each time.
