Caring for your dog from head to toe

Skin care for dogs

The necessary care for your dog's coat varies greatly depending on the type of coat. Long-haired breeds like the Yorkshire Terrier benefit from daily brushing, while short-haired dogs are better off not being brushed too often as this can promote shedding. The breeder or a dog groomer can advise you on the best coat care for your dog.

For dogs with lots of folds, like the brachycephalic breeds, it may be necessary to keep the folds clean with special wipes such as Regular wipes or chlorhexidine wipes from Maxani. Bathing is not a favorite activity for most dogs. Fortunately, it is really not necessary on a weekly basis. But if your dog has jumped into a dirty ditch or in certain skin conditions, washing may be necessary. Pharmacy4pets has a nice assortment of shampoos for every skin and coat type.

Trimming dog nails

By walking on hard surfaces, your dog's nails wear down. Sometimes walking alone is not enough and the nails need to be trimmed. A good nail clipper is then indispensable.

Dental care for dogs

Preventing plaque and tartar is essential to keep your dog's teeth healthy. Therefore, practicing brushing is important. With your fingers, a finger toothbrush or a dog toothbrush you can step by step practice brushing the teeth.

Eye and ear care

The eyes and ears of your dog should be checked daily for abnormalities or dirt. If your dog squints, shakes its head, scratches its ears, or has very dirty ears, it is best to go to the vet. A tear streak without eye infection can be cleaned with a special eye cleaner like Bogacare Perfect Eye Cleaner. You can clean your dog's ears with a mild ear cleaner, preferably after being checked by a veterinarian.

First aid for accidents

An accident during playtime can happen quickly. A confrontation with another dog, a sharp branch, or stepping on a thorn can cause a lot of discomfort. It is good to have a base of first aid supplies at home so you can do something about small wounds or hotspots with for example Vetramil Honey Ointment or Maxani Cleanser Spray. Also, a collar or a medical pet shirt to prevent further damage from scratching, licking, or biting should not be missing in the first aid kit.
