Gone are the days when dogs were simply bathed in a tub in the backyard with a bar of hand soap. Now there are shampoos, conditioners and coat care products designed to help your dog have a healthy, clean smelling and shiny coat. It is important to note that dogs hair has a different pH than human hair, and products designed for us will not work as well on dogs and can, in fact, lead to skin rashes and hot spots. Use only those products that are indicated for use on dogs.

Shampoo

There are many different types of shampoos for dogs ranging from flea and tick shampoos to dandruff control shampoos. There are also products that have herbal ingredients and those that are guaranteed to be safe for even those dogs that have an allergic reaction to other shampoo. Spa type doggie shampoos for those that truly want a pampered pooch come in lavender and mint scents or in exotic floral combinations.

When purchasing a dog shampoo be sure to read the instructions completely. One of the major factors is to be sure to completely rinse all the soap or shampoo of the skin and hair before applying conditioner or drying the dog. Residue from shampoo is the leading cause of rashes and dry skin patches that can lead to inflammations and bacterial infections.

Conditioners

Crme style conditioners are used to help dogs with short or long hair have a healthy coat even if they are outdoor dogs. A good quality pet conditioner works to strengthen the hair shaft, helping to minimize and prevent breakage during drying and grooming. In addition the shampoo will strip some of the natural oils and moisture from the coat and the conditioner helps to replace this until the skin is able to secrete natural oils.

Conditioners, like shampoo, need to be well rinsed from the hair prior to drying. Leave-in conditioners are sometimes spritzed into the coat when grooming and drying, especially for dogs with long coats that tend to tangle and easily mat.

Detangler

A misting bottle filled with detangler is a handy item for grooming long-haired dogs or dogs with fine hair. A good detangler can be used diluted and will not need to be used full strength. Regular brushing and thinning of the hair (stripping) can be done to prevent tangles and mats from developing. Always brush the dog before the bath to prevent tangles and knots from getting worse as you wash.

Dry Cleaners

There are several dry powder cleaners that can be used between baths to freshen up the dog and help to clean dirt from the hair. The powder is simply sprinkled on the coat and brushed out. Dirt is trapped with the powder and brushed out of the coat. Since many of the breeds do not stand constant bathing a dry powder cleaning is a great way to keep the dog clean and fresh and avoid over-drying the coat.

Shine products

Shine products are spritzed or misted onto the coat during grooming when the dog is completely dry or just slightly damp. They are not a styling product; rather they work to enhance the shine of the coat. Usually used prior to showing, shine products really can make a huge difference in the gleam of the coat.

There are many different products available to care for a dogs coat. Do some experimenting and request some free samples of the internet until you find what works best for you and your pooch.

Setan Lee and 7 co-workers founded KFC on July 8, 1995. Setan Lee, an American citizen, was raised in Cambodia. All the rest of the KFC staff to date is Cambodian. Before starting Kampuchea For Christ Setan had founded the only bible school in Cambodia at the time.

Kampuchea For Christ has established a ministry training center with a one year training program for Christians. The goal of this ministry is to build all aspects of the Church in Cambodia. People learn to be evangelists, pastors, church planters and generally how to work with the gifts of the holy spirit. In two years the group grew to 38 people that successfully planted 48 churches in Cambodia.

Since it was founded, Kampuchea For Christ has grown into one of the largest Christian organizations in Cambodia. They now have 14 different ministries throughout Cambodia. These ministries include:

The Ministry Training Center: This center, which is located in Phnom Phen, now has a two year training program and enrolls about 30 students in the program. Students learn the tools necessary to go out and help build the Church in Cambodia.

The New Development Center: This center ministers to women who are prostitutes that wish to leave that life style or destitute and needy girls. 60 girls now live at the New Development Center which is located in Kampong Chhnang.

David's Center: This is an orphanage for children of the Khmer Rouge. It is located in Anlong Veng, a very poor area, and can only house 20 children.

The Battambang Trade School: This school is located in Battambang, Cambodia which is the second largest city in Cambodia. This school teaches poor girls sewing skills so they can have the opportunity to earn money to help support their families. The girls sew bible covers, purses, bags and many other textile items. These items are then sold in the United States by places like http://www.coveryourbible.com. These sales help fund the missions. The costs of the school are supplemented by a computer class that is also taught at the school. The cost for this class is $7 a month for the more well to do students.

School Uniforms and Supply Distribution: In addition to the bible covers, purses and bags that are made by the girls at the Battambang Trade School, they also make school uniforms. This are given to poor families so their children can attend school. Additionally, school supplies are distributed. Without these uniforms and school supplies many poor children in Cambodia would not be able to attend school.

Kampuchea For Christ also has missions in: Rice Distribution, Evangelism, Church Planting, Church Hosting, Medical Ministry, Feeding Programs, Well Digging, Urban Youth Outreach and Pastor Training.
