KONG ZoomGroom review #furforhope

This is probably the first time Im doing product review. Thought it would be good to pen down my thoughts after trying out the product.

Tried out KONG's Zoom Groom for the first time last week after hearing other people's feedback since i forgot when. I see it everyday but I didn't have chance to use it on Tui - he is like the best candidate to review this product! (Toytoy short hair la and she seldom shed so... nah)

Okay, previously I have been using the normal slicker brush on him - those with tons of small wire pins (it's in the kennel lah so I just use lor). 

Here's a quick comparison on the features of the 2 types of brushes:

Normal Slicker Brush

- Fine Short wire tips

- Comb like handle 

- Available in different sizes and easy to get

This is the most common brush that owners can find and uses, daiso also got sell small one $2 only. It does helps to brush out his stubborn fur but ...

1. Im quite worried that I might poke him accidentally if he moves, or hurt him if he happens to have certain semi-healed wounds around that area. 

2. The stubborn fur not only stick on his fat body, they also stubbornly stuck to the brush. It's super hard to take out one - i always use my finger to pull out (like what we do for combs) but I always ended up poking myself. Stupid or what. 

LOL his face: 你在偷拍我吗？ 

*I can't find the end result of the brush, remember got take one but just lost in the sea of photos.. sigh*

Zoom Groom

- Rubber brisk/tip

- Soft and sturdy

- Ergonomic design for better grip

- Comes in 2 sizes- Regular and small (Tui uses Regular)

- 2 Colors - Raspberry and Boysenberry (Thou dogs are colorblind, their owners are not)

- The rubber tips helps to stimulates capillaries and natural oil production for a healthier skin & coat.

I show you the pictures you judge for yourselves:

Mr Wai is his masseur for the day, as usual. (STOP SNATCHING AWAY MY BONDING TIME WITH MY 4 LEGGED BF LAH)!!!

Start liao start liao

Here also shiok

Dont...stop... #totallylovingit 

This Tui ah, after one side brush finish, he will auto flip to the other size for u to brush.
It's quite easy to brush out the fur but we did it for many rounds because he really has too much fur. 

armpit oso must brush.. 

Who needs hair? We can donate. 

See that ball beside him... @.@

This is how the fur gets trapped. 

You can easily "peel" of the layer of fur and it comes out like this. 

IMO Zoomgroom is suitable for dogs with short and thick coats. Tui is double coated if im not wrong. Reviews on the internet says it's more suitable with short coat dogs too.

Maybe I should bring and try on Mimi the German Sherperd next time. 

Ok la enough liao hor, let's have some cat fish skin (Honest Kitchen's Beams) before going back to shelter~ 

Till the next time~ 

When big T meets small T (Toy & Tui first meeting)

You know hor, ever since I adopted Toytoy, I have been day-dreaming of letting them meet one another. I am very curious about what will both their reaction be like, will they fight? will they like each other? and I want to prove my parents wrong (that Tui is fierce and scary) HAHAH! My mum always say Toy will sure die if Tui were to attack her. But a part of me knows that somehow or rather, their character and frequency are about the same - Zen and hate dogs! HAHA! They prefer to be with humans, and both super dislike hyper active dogs, so just nice they wouldnt chase each other around and risk being attacked.

A year passed and I finally told myself, its now or never! JUST BRING ONLY!

And so we brought Toytoy down to farmway to pick Fatty Swissroll up. Imagine the mixture of excitement + nervousness + ah ji pa lang emotions when I brought Tui out of the farm.

Bip Bop Bip Bop.

Toytoy was in the front seat and fatty got onto the car behind. 

To my surprise, Toytoy gan gan BARK at Tui! (She usually doesnt do that to other dogs, the most she growl when they keep sniffing her and she has no where to run). 

Tui went over and tried to sniff her while wagging his tail ( AGAIN IM VERY AMAZED).

And then the small one decided to sit down properly. And so we drove over to Harlus~ 

On the way Toy popped her head to peep at Tui and this time round it's Tui's turn so he growled a little and I stopped him. Peace after that~ 

*Through out the way you can see Toytoy diao-ing Tui from the front, or even when she walk beside him* jealous perhaps?

As it is their first meeting and I am still not sure if the dogs will ki siao and start fighting anot, I kept a distance away between the two. ya lah i kia su kia si. But why risk it right, slowly ma.. 

Will let the pictures do the talking okay: 

Sorry for the very tak-glam Boyfriend behind. You will see this pose very frequently from now onwards. 

Letting Toytoy observe Tui while Tui trys to earn his treat from Bf

A happy girl

Somebody conquered his fear for big dog and gave Tui a big hug, then turn over and say: "You see even Tui accepted me".

This is also Toytoy's first trip to Harlus. Most of the time I only brought her out to dog cafes. I guess she prefers out door places like this.. See!

Carefree dog! 

And she continue running..... NEVER STOP!!!! 

I have to chase after her to bring her back -_- 

#justwhenyouthoughtyourrecallworks

and your dog ran way past u... T_T

Toytoy: Heh heh paiseh lah, I got too carried away by the beautiful scenery and space to run :P

Meanwhile..
The lazy big T..

Eat and eat..

Ah wai korkor got more treats bo?

Tui: Chill la huh.. i come here so often come until sian liao.. Let me nua here ~ 

Got free massage summore..

Toytoy: Aiyo I run till so tired liao.. need to rest..

We need some human pics afterall

This is like their closest already. Tui went for a short walk, then walk over to sniff Toytoy and we quickly separate them. #kiasi 

Considering the fact that Tui is so anal to other dogs, this is very good already hor? :)

But most of the times he is more okay with small dogs as compared to dogs of his size. He tends to sniff the smaller dog butt and hump other smaller dog at the dog run -_-"

Time to go home loh~ lalala~ 

Toytoy: Mummy can you bring me out more often? 

Stay tuned to our #theadventuresoftuiandtoy! 

TATA!

The Rainbow Bridge

Just saw Zumei's post about Scramble on Facebook.

Cant help but to get my eyes all red in office. Why do they have to leave so suddenly? Just one week plus ago it was Poky... But poky's case has been going on for 2 years, and that he is really suffering in pain.

T_T please stay strong and healthy all dogs. You guys deserve a happy life and have long road ahead.

sigh..
