How to groom a puppy who bites the brush and won't stay still?
First of all, Bentley is way too young for a bath (unless he has gotten into something nasty). It is a good idea to bathe him twice a year, just as the hair starts to clump. As for the equipment: I had a Samoyed for years, and also Siberians--another double-coated breed. Your best bet is to use a rake (made for dogs, not your lawn rake!). Aside from a general going-over to get the loose hair out, the best method for grooming Bentley is to pick up a section of hair., as if you were going to tease it. Do nothing with the section except hold it. Rake what's left underneath (the undercoat). If Bentley's hair is really clumping, you can grab a handful yourself. You might want to use the metal comb to get the hair around his face, but it's not really necessary--nor are all the other products you bought. You can train him to the rake by initially just showing it to him with a treat. Just run the rake gently over his coat and treat/praise when he leaves it alone.

PetSmile alternatives & is Dawn dish soap safe for dog paws?
Nikki is adorable! Thanks for including pictures! Yes, PetSmile is expensive, but it is one of the only toothpastes to actually be approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. Here is a list of their approved products. http://www.vohc.org/VOHCAcceptedProductsTable_Dogs.pdf PetSmile is what I use with my dogs. (Last year they ran a 25% off sale before Christmas, so I stocked up!) Yes, it is fine to use Dawn on Nikki's feet daily, but I suspect any gentle cleaner would be fine as well. You may have to experiment to find the best shampoo for her. I have been very pleased with EarthBath products, so you might want to try their Oatmeal and Aloe shampoo for itch relief. https://earthbath.com/product/oatmeal-aloe-shampoo/ There are also prescription itch relief shampoo and conditioner products if needed that you can talk to your vet about. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your questions. Thanks for using PetCoach.

Puppies must have completed at least 2 sets of shots before being admitted into the Grooming Salon. - **16 weeks and older:** Rabies: All dogs must wait 24 hours after receiving any vaccination before being admitted into the Grooming Salon. - **New York City:** requires that every dog sheltered, maintained, harbored, fed, watered or groomed be vaccinated for rabies, distemper, hepatitis, para-influenza, and parvovirus within past three years and for Bordetella within the past six months. - Due to vaccination limitations with Wolf hybrids, these pets will not be accepted for any services/events in any Petco facility. This includes, but is not limited to, Grooming, Dog Training, Pooch, Adoption events, Veterinary Clinics, etc. ### Cat - **Under 16 weeks:** Parvovirus (Panleukopenia), Herpesvirus-1 (Viral Rhinotracheitis), Calicivirus, First Year Boosters - **16 weeks and older:** Rabies **Required Vaccinations for Dog Training:** - Under 16 weeks: puppy starter (Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Distemper) - 16 weeks and older: rabies - Note: puppies must have at least their first set of Puppy shots a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the class. **Acceptable Proof of Vaccinations:** - Vaccination Record from the Veterinarian's office, rescue group, or breeder - Typed letter on Veterinary Clinics letterhead.

All vaccinations must be administered or supervised by a Veterinarian. - Proof of vaccinations is not required for use of the Self-Service Pet Wash - Petco does not require vaccinations in our Hawaii stores.

My dog bites during grooming. How can I safely groom him at home?
Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Unfortunately, I cannot prescribe any medications for Marley without having examined him myself. If he is extremely aggressive while being groomed, you may want to consider having him sedated and groomed at your vet's office. This will mean that Marley is closely monitored during the sedation and supported with fluids and heat if necessary. Your vet can also perform a thorough exam, and ensure that Marley's heart and lungs are healthy enough to handle the sedation. At home, you can try calming chews available in most pet stores, and consider getting Marley a muzzle to keep yourself safe.
