Sorry I'm once again like ten pages behind. @
donaldtoo I actually use a men's electric razor with detachable sized combs. I had bought a shaver "for dogs" and it broke after the third use. I think this is a Wall shave kit, more than likely the second cheapest I could find at Target. I've had it for two years now.
I also use a doggy dry shampoo, it's a DIY. one cup baking soda, one cup cornstarch, 5-7 drops lavender and eucalyptus essential oil, mixed well and I've repurposed an empty and thoroughly cleaned parm sprinkle cheese container to sprinkle it on her fur and rub it in. Then I towel her off (she LOVES that part!) and she's a cleaner smelling beagle. So much cheaper than buying dry shampoo from the pet store.
And if anyone thinks I'm cheap (I typically am. Sorry, raised poor) you haven't seen the pile of toys and bones this dog has.
And I won't go into how many cat beds I've bought my cat only to throw each and every one out. She prefers a shoe box. Then the toys she never plays with, except the odd bottle cap, toothpick, and piece of string...even if it's still attached to my brand new top.
