Shampoos for Dogs
If you are looking for a new shampoo, first ask your vet for recommendations. Otherwise, just make sure you do your research and won’t be exposing your dog to any unwanted chemicals or preservatives. As dog owners, we don’t really care if shampoo is a pretty color. Our dogs certainly don’t care. Artificial colors, chemicals that make the shampoo froth up but do nothing to help the dog and strange numbers aren’t wanted or needed in dog shampoo.
Ear Care
Regularly have a peek in your dog’s ears. From time to time – depending on the breed, you may need to give those floppy ears a clean. If you are not confident in doing this for fear of going too far and causing damage to your dog’s ear, pop in to see your vet or the nurse. They’ll be able to show you easily and quickly the best way to go about getting in and out without causing any damage or too much stress to your dog.
Otherwise, fetch yourself a cotton ball and starting with it being dampened (slightly) with warm water and a little bit of apple cider vinegar, give the outside of the ear a wipe and slowly work your way further into the ear but only to where you can see. Dog ears and canals are just as, if not more delicate as ours and pushing anything in there can cause serious damage. If you notice there is a large build up of dirt, it may be worth popping in to see your vet. They can make sure everything in the ear canal is working properly and there are no infections going on. You can also buy ear rinses. Again, be sure to check the ingredients. Some of them include alcohol which can dry out the ear too much. For more information visit website #http://dogendorsed.com.
