Nadia Lee(ph): Hi! My name is Nadia Lee and I am professional pet groomer and I have been grooming for three years and I currently work at Affectionate Pet Care located in Fairfax, Virginia. We offer various services such as day care, boarding, Pet sitting, and of course grooming.

Today, I am going to teach you how to do basic grooming, you can do at home, but before we get started I need to briefly go over some of the items, you will need to get started. Over here, we have your everyday items; you probably have in your cabinet or your drawer somewhere. We have some towels so you could dry your dog after the bath. We have a blow dryer, which most of you guys being a lady have at home, and then we have some cotton and some Q-tip to clean the ears, and over on this side you may need to go to your local pet supplier store to get these items. We have ear cleaning solution, we have a comb and slicker brush and these two are very important for grooming, especially when it comes to brushing. And then we have your ear powder for those dogs who has hairs inside their ear canals such as Bichon, Schnauzer, and we have nail clippers to clip the nails, and then we have septic powder just in case the nail bleeds by cutting it too close and of course we have toothbrush and dog toothpaste.

Okay, so now that we have covered these items, I think we are ready to get started on nail clipping
