Camping with dogs is not for the faint-hearted

I think Rob and I have been talking about going camping since we first met over 7 years ago. Then we got busy, adopted a dog, then a cat, then another dog, then another dog… So, the thought of going camping (for me at least) just got less and less exciting and became more of an effort. This is mainly because we would, of course, want to take the dogs with us.

I imagine a lot of people go camping with their dog all the time without issue, and if we only had Betty than we would have gone years ago. But as it is, we have 3 dogs, one of which who is not optimistic enough to handle the experience of camping straight away, two of them who are on daily medications, and one who has to be crated overnight to avoid conflict – it takes a bit of planning!

When it comes to any kind of training, I can’t stress how important it is to train FOR the situation, not IN the situation, and I thought that this camping situation was no different. A trial run would be a good idea for all of us, a chance to find out how the girls would each react to the equipment and changed sleeping arrangements.

2.Keeping Your Yorkie Sparkling: A Guide to Fur and Skin Care with Groomit

Maintaining your Yorkie’s luxurious look can be time-consuming. That’s where Groomit comes in. Their experienced groomers, equipped with top-of-the-line products and gentle techniques, cater to all your Yorkie’s needs:

Yorkshire Terriers, with their silky, floor-length coats and feisty personalities, are true charmers. But keeping their glamorous look requires dedication and proper care. This guide equips you with the knowledge and tools to maintain your Yorkie’s fur and skin health, while highlighting the expert services offered by Groomit.

Brushing for Beauty:

Daily De-Tangle: Longhaired Yorkies need daily brushing to prevent mats. Start with a wide-tooth comb, followed by a slicker brush to smooth, and distribute oils. Shorter styles might need brushing every other day. Gentle Techniques: Be patient and avoid pulling on mats. Work through tangles gently, section by section. The Right Tools: Use high-quality brushes designed for fine fur. Groomit can recommend specific brushes and combs based on your Yorkie’s coat length and texture.

Bath Time Bliss:

Less is More: Overbathing can dry out their skin. Aim for every 3-4 weeks, or when visibly dirty. Shampoo Savvy: Choose gentle, dog-specific formulas. Consider whitening shampoos to enhance their coat color. Groomit carries a selection perfect for Yorkies, catering to sensitive skin and specific needs. Conditioning Care: A lightweight conditioner keeps fur soft and manageable. Groomit can advise on the ideal conditioner for your Yorkie’s unique coat.

Beyond the Basics:

Tearful Eyes: Tear stains are common. Wipe daily with a damp cloth and consider tear stain removers. Groomit offers tear stain removal treatments as part of their grooming services. Early Ear Care: Weekly cleaning with gentle ear wipes or solutions prevents infections. Groomit can recommend suitable options. Nail Trims: Regular trims are crucial. If unsure, have Groomit’s experienced groomers handle it safely and professionally.
