I've got a cocker spaniel who has a pretty long coat and lots of feathering if he's left alone. I went to K-Mart and bought some Remington clippers intended for people for about $30. They work fine. All you have to do is use them like a hairdresser would when they lift the clippers to flick the hair away from the blade and that's that. Once you've done it a couple of times you'll just get used to doing it. And you'll save yourself a bucket load of cash.

What My Vet Said About Fleas
ionebusiness replied to ruthless's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
When we lived in Sydney my dog went through a stage of getting fleas all the time. Turned out it was the possums. My dog, a working cocker spaniel, was on Frontline every 2 weeks but this didn't help. What we do now is switch him between Frontline and Advantix in 6 month intervals, applying every 2 weeks during the warmer months and every 4 weeks when it's colder. We also got a load of those Flea bombs from the supermarket and let them off in the house, garage, and in the garden. What I found helpful to kill the fleas on him straight away were those tablets that they can take orally but I can't remember the name of them. Oh, and we also got some Poss Off to get the possums out of the garden.
