Dog Q&A

If you’ve ever tried to groom a dog with a thick or double coat using standard clippers, you already know how quickly things can go wrong. The clippers stall. The blades heat up. Hair gets pulled instead of cut. And what should be a calm grooming session turns into a frustrating (and uncomfortable) experience for both you and your dog.

Thick‑coated breeds — like Doodles, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Huskies, and many mixed breeds — need far more power and blade quality than most entry‑level grooming kits can provide. Their dense undercoat and coarse topcoat simply overwhelm low‑torque motors and fixed blades.

The good news is that you don’t need to be a professional groomer to get professional‑level results. You do need clippers that are designed for thick coats: strong motors, sharp detachable blades, and enough cooling and stability to finish the job without rushing.

After a few nervous laughs, she began her presentation with:

Dogs have a tendency to eat things that humans find repulsive, and one of the most puzzling behaviors is when they eat their own feces. The scientific term for this behavior is coprophagia, and it is more common than you might think. It is important to understand why dogs engage in this behavior and whether it is a cause for concern.

Understanding Coprophagia There are several reasons why dogs eat their own poop. One reason is that it is a natural behavior that evolved from their wild ancestors, who would eat feces to keep their dens clean and to prevent predators from tracking them.

Another reason is that dogs may eat their poop if they are not getting enough nutrients from their food. Some dogs may also eat poop because they are bored, anxious, or seeking attention from their owners.
