When we brought her home, we hadn't gotten her a bed yet, other than for her crate. When she wanted a comfy place to lie down that wasn't in her crate, she would try to curl up in my daughters plush little sitting chair. After many attempts, she usually ended up giving up and just lying in it with her bum or her front end. We felt bad for her so we bought her a pet mate quilted bed. She was like a kid at Christmas, she actually looked purely joyful when we put her on it. Now she never leaves it. ofile Pr Leto PRODUCT REVIEWS PETMATE QUILTED BED ERIC RIEHL / SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER EAGLE HOLISTIC LARGE AND GIANT BREED PUPPY VIP TUFFY'S BOOMERANG Yo u sked! A LORIANNE Q: What shampoo and Conditioner is appropriate for my dog? I would like to give him a bath before it gets too cold. At this time of the year most of our dogs are shedding their coats so that they can grow their winter coats in. Shedding has been particularly bad this year. One way to help this process along and help to maintain a healthy coat is to use a good shampoo and conditioner. Chris Christensen Day to Day Shampoo followed by Day to Day Conditioner will hydrate your dog's coat from the inside out helping to prevent matting. A properly hydrated coat helps keep the hair shaft intact. When you have properly hydrated coat the cuticle is locked down so there are no snarls causing matting. For daily maintance you can use Chris Christensen Ice on Ice, this will also help to prevent matting and keep the Happy Bathing!!!
