During holidays, how many pet owners tirelessly take their furry friends along with various supplies like brushes and leashes to explore the world? This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is no exception, and the "National Day Holiday Announcement" has been trending for quite some time. As a result, many pet owners have been preparing essential travel supplies such as brushes and leashes over the past two weeks, or, due to circumstances, they have to make boarding arrangements for their pets. Many pet owners have shared tips on pet boarding during the holidays online. 1. Preparation Before Boarding is Key Many pet owners think that after carefully choosing a boarding facility, everything is taken care of, but this is not the case. It’s important to communicate details about your pet's preferred food, grooming habits, and activity routines with the boarding facility or friends in advance.

There are many interesting facts about dogs that pet owners should share with each other, beyond just tips for using grooming tools and pet supplies. Previously, we discussed some blind spots regarding dog care and grooming techniques, but there are still some secrets that pet owners might overlook! The more time you spend with your dog, the more similar you both become in appearance and habits. This has been scientifically proven.  Jokingly, if dogs could use grooming tools themselves, they might do it just as skillfully as their owners! Do disobedient dogs exist? Absolutely! However, it depends on the situation. For example, service dogs like Labradors may refuse commands if they believe it could harm their owner, prioritizing safety.  Similarly, many dogs at home often resist being groomed. When their owners are away, dogs will explore the unknown, even if it's a grooming tool they've never seen before. Many pet owners set up cameras at home to observe their dogs; typic...

Recently, a topic titled "Mom, let me get a dog" gained attention on Weibo. Many pet lovers advocated for the health benefits of dog ownership, claiming that having a pet dog truly contributes to the well-being of their owners. Research supports that the presence of dogs indeed offers these benefits. For those who find this hard to believe, it largely relates to the daily activities involving pets and their owners.  Dog owners engage in various tasks such as walking, grooming, cleaning up after them, and preparing their supplies. This routine leads to increased physical activity compared to cat owners or those without pets, which positively impacts their blood sugar levels. Additionally, the loyalty, trust, and companionship provided by dogs can boost their owners' confidence and emotional comfort. Beyond physical health, many online discussions highlight the transformative changes dogs bring to their owners’ lives.   1. Joy Becomes the Main Theme of Life It is often sa...

The necessity of using a leash when walking dogs has been a focal point for many pet owners and passersby. A pet without a proper leash can pose risks to itself, others, and the environment. Today, let’s delve into the negative impacts of having a pet dog without an appropriate leash. The Biggest Risk: Getting Lost. Many pet owners avoid using leashes to give their dogs a sense of freedom, but what happens if the dog runs away? Even well-trained pets can easily get lost during walks. To enhance their freedom while ensuring safety, consider using a retractable leash that keeps your dog within sight. Preventing Accidents. Dogs love to chase and run, and without a leash, they might chase after cars or other vehicles. If an owner can't pull them back in time, the risk of injury is high. Additionally, outdoor environments often have discarded food that could harm unmonitored pets. Responsible Dog Ownership. Civility is a fundamental principle in modern society, and dog ownership is...

Regularly trimming your pet's nails is essential for both dogs and cats. Many pet owners prefer to use specialized pet nail clippers for this task, while some believe that human nail clippers can achieve similar results. So, what are the actual differences between these two types of clippers? Firstly, their design and functionality vary significantly. Human nails are flat, and human nail clippers typically have a crescent-shaped blade, often accompanied by a convenient file, tailored for human use. In contrast, pet nail clippers have a more rounded blade, suited to the shape of dog and cat nails. For example, some models feature ergonomic handles made from non-slip rubber, and many dog clippers come with a one-button lock for added convenience. Secondly, pet nail clippers generally offer a more comprehensive range of designs and functions. These tools are specifically created for pets, with variations tailored to different sizes and breeds. Professional pet clippers can range f...

Pet owners know that fleas can easily infest their pets, and the ultimate tool for combating these pests is a flea comb. Fleas are parasites that hide in your pet’s fur, seriously affecting their health.  Here's how to effectively remove fleas using a flea comb, as suggested by Koodi Grooming Tools:  The simplest method is to use a flea comb to brush your pet's fur. The comb will trap fleas, which you can then stick to tape and kill with a detergent. Avoid crushing fleas with your hands, as this can release their eggs and make the problem worse. Koodi’s flea comb, made with stainless steel pins and featuring an ABS and TPR handle for comfort, can also be used as a regular grooming tool. Regularly bathe your pet to keep them clean and prevent flea infestations.  Before bathing, use the flea comb to check for fleas.

If your dog has a bad smell coming from its ears, proper daily care is essential. Dogs' ear canals are covered with dense hair, which can trap dirt and lead to ear mites if not cleaned regularly. A healthy ear canal should be clean, odorless, free of debris, and pink in color. If your dog frequently shakes its head or scratches its ears, it may be uncomfortable and in need of cleaning with appropriate pet products. Cleaning method: Start by wiping the outer ear canal with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol. Check for any dirt deep inside the ear; if present, gently remove it with a cotton swab. If the dirt is hard and difficult to remove, leave it for now. Avoid inserting the swab too deeply, as this may cause discomfort and potentially harm the inner ear. Next, apply two drops of pet ear-cleaning oil into the ear, cover the ear, and gently massage for one minute. This should soften the earwax, making it easier to clean with a cotton swab. Ear cleaning should be done weekly. If you...

Dog owners, walking your dog is a daily necessity. It has many advantages for both dogs and their owners. However, always use a leash to prevent your dog from getting lost or causing accidents! Benefit 1: Walking helps release your dog’s energy, stabilizes its mood, and prevents destructive behaviors. Dogs, like people, can feel stress and irritability when confined for long periods.
