Edit: Also what's your fav shampoo? Currently using cat samples given at the last grooming expo

I recently started grooming cats at a vet clinic and need to upgrade some tools. After 8 years of grooming exclusively dogs, I have used H42 to clean all my blades. I need to restock a full set of blades that have never been cleaned with this product and want to invest in the best!

Do you have a preference in brand and style? I prefer Zolita , Andis, and PSD blades but want to be as safe as possible; I understand cats are a lot more sensitive and easier to cut. Also do you have a preferred blade wash when doing cats? I have been using the Andis brand on the few new blades I have.

Thanks in advance!

Hello fellow tokers,

I have been smoking daily for most of my adult life and recently broke my leg. Did a real number on it and have 3 fractures, a plate or two and some screws holding me together. Doctor said no smoking til it's healed.

I was hoping I could at least smoke CBD but anything I smoke will reduce blood flow and slow healing time. Apparently THC itself will stunt the cells that glue my bones back together.

I'm curious if anyone else on here has broken a bone and how they delt with it after? Did you follow the doctor's advice and if not, any complications? I understand the risks and am not basing any bad choices off this post but am hoping to see how others delt with the struggle.

My partner has slightly reduced his smoking habit, but it's no fun watching him go out for a puff. Being stuck in the house for 2 months and not being able to get stoned sucks a$$

I have a coworker who came from a salon setting where the mindset was to do what the customer asked no matter what. They have been with us for a year now and we are struggling with being a bit heavy handed and pushing the dogs past where they are comfortable. I know they mean well and are trying, but they say they struggle knowing when the dog has had enough.

Past incidents involve dematting a dog to the point of skin injury, over brushing, continuing to work on a dog that was actively trying to eat the tools/groomer, etc. We have had conversations in the past but I feel like the stress of the incident makes it hard to focus on/receive feedback and I was thinking giving them some resources to read/listen to might make it a bit easier to comprehend.

I recommended the creating great grooming dogs podcast but does anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks in advance! (I'm sitting down with the manager to go over options later today)
