I've read that soft bristle brushes can help with distributing natural oils and blood circulation - is this true?

e, Can the Easy Groomer (made by Equigroomer) be used alone, or should I pair it with another grooming tool?

All good advice - I wrote to Chewy but didn't send photos or lot numbers. I'll let my vet. know, as well. Thanks!

I've been feeding this wet food to my cats for several years (prescribed by my veterinarian), and it's always been fine. But in the last couple of months, when I open up the cans at feeding time, quite a few of them have had small black specks on top of the food (one of the specks was not so...

When I brought one of our cats (Hazel - to the left, in the photo) to the vet. for her annual check-up, I brought all of the grooming tools I'd been using on and off, in different combinations, over the years. Hazel is a short-hair, and Cleo, formerly feral, is a medium-hair cat. I had the kind...

I really appreciate your reply - thank you!

All of this is so helpful - I'm grateful for everyone's advice.

Good to know - thanks!

Oh - silly me!

Is gf a brand of brush? I haven't seen this name when I look for brushes.

Thank you very much for your help!

Although I've had cats that have lived long lives (18 yrs. and 21 yrs.), and veterinarians have always said that they are well-cared for, I find that these days there are so many different grooming tools that I'd like advice on several topics (three questions): First question: Which grooming...

Thank you so much. Our friend's dog is treated for (protected against?) ticks, but it is worth asking what he is being treated with.

Thank you!

Hi, I know that it's not good to twist a tick out of a human body - it has to be pulled out, straight up, without twisting. Wouldn't it also not be advisable to twist it out of a cat's body?

Hi, I live in an area that is heavily tick-infested, especially during the summer months. My cats are indoor-only, but occasionally we have a friend visit with a dog, and also, as a gardener, I have a very strict tick-prevention protocol when I come indoors after gardening. But the other day...

Hi, What is the best tool for removing a tick? When it comes to ticks on a human, many say that twisting is not good, because it can embed the tick deeper or squeeze the tick accidentally, therefore pushing more bacteria into the body. So, for people, a pair of sharp-pointed tweezers is what's...

All I've been able to do is use one of those low-tech, light-weight,Fuller Brush carpet sweepers - the small, nine-inch one - light and easy to use, once in the morning and once in the evening, and much of the problem is gone.

I don't have cats that need lion cuts, but still have a strong opinion: I agree with all of the above responses and, further, this looks like malpractice to me. I don't know if that word applies to groomers, but it certainly should apply to the vet. I am not suggesting a lawsuit - don't get...

Yes, but you have to keep track of how thick the nail is getting and if it's starting to turn toward the pad of the paw. It's best for your vet. to tell you how to do it - I'm not the most adept at it!
