hmm bleeding where the nails? the body? if nails to me its ok....cannot see... we malaysian never complain its the culture..sad through

I got an email before... grooming incident I think from that same place Amanda said... the dog was hurt. Bleeding behind the ear... anyway, my friend has stopped grooming his dog there I think coz reliaze they do not clean the grooming tools properly and caused rashes and mange....

Anyway, big grooming places often have a bit of mistakes. Still the best place to groom is at our own home by ourselves.... Well, I know many people prefer to ask someone else to do but then when we do it ourself, we are sure the dog would not be hurt and gets extra attention.

Last time I groom my own shih tzu for 12 years... he never step into groomer's place before hahaha.... but I was old fashion, I only cut using scissors and I groom while sitting on the floor with my dog in between my legs for 2 hours straight.

gosh~~~ my dog knows how to bully me wherever its time to bathe; i gotta lock the door and bathe her...then comes the hard part combing while blowing her hair dry.she would whine and put her paws up moving up and down to block me from combing wherelse my sis or maid does that she wont dare to move how do u do that?

Wah... it is bullying you lah. My shih tzu hated baths.... and grooming... say the word "comb hair" in cantonese and he will go hide... but when during grooming he will sit still and won't move wan, so kinda amazed by him last time hahahah.... well, maybe you can associate grooming time with some food, it may help.

Try and put ur shih tzu on chair when u bath and blow dry him/her. I'm using that method now and so far so good. My shih tzu jz sits quietly on the chair when i bath him and also when I blow dry him. But be sure to keep an eye on him/her jz to prevent him/her from falling off the chair .

MY SHIH TZU IS NOT A SHIH TZU...dont know to explain....he i meant she....aih~~~ just say this la..her mom is a champ and her grandparents are champ.this shih tzu of all shih tzus i rear never outsmart the owner wherelse this is notti sly one bully the softhearted pet lover me~ wooo can jump and not afraid of anything.even bully bigger dogs also... lol but ill try crazymouse idea: fed treats while grooming cause she is gulible

if dun have MKA how much price range? if dun have mka can go make microchip?

price range woud be rm600 and below....u can microchip...they do that on the k9 day...otherwise im not sure where u can microchip through..try the vet....

The microchip is ONLY for dogs that come with MKA line.... it is for their computer system for the dog breeds registered and for breeding purposes.

The identity microchip is done by ANOTHER COMPANY, which I think you can ask vets about it. It is for Identification purpose.

MKA does not do microchipping during 9 day at Bandar Utama, that is by the OTHER COMPANY. If need to, contact puppy.com and ask for the company and where they do it. Also, it would not be RM600....

Even if the parents have MKA, it is too late to apply for MKA for the pups. Your friend need to register for MKA when the parents of the pups mate, register again when the pups are born out, and register again later with all the details of the pup. Then, MKA will provide the microchip and next, you will wait for few months to obtain the MKA cert from MKA. If your friend did not register for MKA when the parents mate, then it is not possible for the pups to get MKA.

If he's charging you RM 600 or below, then it's an okay price to get the pup but of course, the pup comes without MKA and microchip.

it's correct. There's alot of registration need to be done to get the pups to have the MKA. So maybe your friend didnt plan to mate his dogs (accident) or maybe he doesnt want to cause so much trouble in order to get the MKA for the pups, so he didnt register..

1) MKA is Malaysia Kennel Association
2) MIcrochip contains a long serial number. THe mirochip is implanted in the neck or back of the pup. Why we need to implant a microchip into a pup? This is for us to identify our pup. FOr example, if we suspect our neighbor steal our pup, then we can take the pup for scanning and identify the pup.
3) Most people prefer male as they think female is too troublesome (with their period that occurs half a year once). Male pup is fun to have but he may grow up with rebellious attitude. For instance, when he sees a female dog, he will urine at places to mark territory. HE will do the same thing if he sees a male dog. For female dog, she's more obedient and clean. Though she may have her period one year twice, you can solve the problem by getting her a sanitary pants for dogs. Problem solved then.
4) Purebreed shih tzu with MKA is selling about RM 750-RM 1000. Depends on who is selling and what quality you want in the pup. WIthout MKA is only RM 600 or below.

RM 600 or below. I'm not quite sure about this. But i heard that only MKA dogs come with microchip. So i dont think your friend's pups can go for microchip.

wow wow meow meow services so careless wan ah ...my friend recommend me go there for grooming tim , luckily i dun go . i rather go my friend grooming center although is xpensive

i think the best way is i groom my furkid myself . but i never bring my LuiLui for grooming because i scare those groomer sumtimes will careless and let me furkid bleed ...so i just let my gf groom .

it happens...my mom accidently cut the nails too deep that it bleed.we put yellow medication which we regret...the fur was stained with yellow color..but it faded after a few washes.but dont worry.most groomers are professional and they had been trained to do grooming.go to the house of groomers.they are one of the best,won an award too

Actually, the right method to stop bleeding is to apply corn strach. The Corn starch will soak the blood, creating a crust that will stop bleeding instantly. Groomers and vets will also use this method.

i saw many shih tzu's fur is kind of yellowish at their legs, and butt. Cannot be washed one ah?? My fren told me that she wash it using puppy shampoo many times already, but still yellowish.
So how??
