hey guys! my partner and i are taking home our beautiful 3 month old afghan hound in 9 days:)

i’m in school for dog grooming rn, but i can’t find any recommended products for an afghans coat. i was recommended isle of dogs and hydra as being good quality, but looking to get some feedback in regards to shampoos, conditioners, dentangling spray, etc. also looking for recommendations on brands for brushes and combs and such. i have a basic pin brush, slicker brush and greyhound comb (as well as clippers which i have for work).

i’ve never groomed an afghan, and besides dog shows i’ve never seen one out and about. specifics as far as reccomended products has proved to be quite difficult to find. any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks so much!!

hey guys! my partner and i are taking home our beautiful 3 month old afghan hound week after next:)

i’m in school for dog grooming rn, but i can’t find any recommended products for an afghans coat. i was recommended isle of dogs and hydra but looking to get some feedback from sighthound owners themselves:) also looking for recommendations on brands for brushes and combs and such. i have your basic pin brush, slicker brush and greyhound comb (as well as clippers which i have for work).

i’ve never once groomed an afghan nor have i ever seen one in person besides dog shows, and specifics as far as reccomended products has proved to be quite difficult to find. any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks so much!!

hey all! so my partner and i are taking home a puppy week after next and i’m dreading the drive home.

we’re taking a plane there, but then have a 1 day and 6 hour drive back home (as we don’t want to put her in cargo)

i personally would like to drive 6 hours day of pick up, and 12 the next 2 days. first day both of us doing a 3 hour shift and following days taking 6 hour shifts.

i’ve cranked out 7 hours solo but despised every minute of it after the first hour. i’ve never done a long drive with anyone else though. i know im very much capable of the drive, but looking for ways to actually enjoy it so im not miserable for 30 hours straight.

thanks!

hey all, so to make things short, when i got home from work all was fine, no weird smell. i went into our room and was hanging out with the dogs for a bit, but as soon as i walk back out of our room i smell an intense scent of nail polish remover or acetone scent.

you can smell it from our living room, but the scent is coming from the hallway and extremely strong there, specifically on one specific wall.

we haven’t done any home improvements or projects around the house. there’s never any food in the hall either. i searched up and down and cannot find where it’s coming from.

also to note the scent is not coming from our vents, air is still working fine and there doesn’t seem to be any issue with our fridge.

just looking for some advice on where this scent may be coming from and how to deal with the problem.

thanks!
