Grooming
Grooming is an important part of a dogs health care. Dogs should have their nails cut, eyes cleaned, and ears cleaned. Dog nails can get very long, and if they are not cut, the dog can get caught in things and the nail could even fall off and you would have to rush your dog to the vet. There is a sensitive vein inside of the dogs nail and if you clip the vein on accident, the dog can be in a lot of pain and the nail will start to bleed. you can buy scissor-like nail clippers, or you can buy regular dog nail clippers and they come in many different sizes.
Dogs with droopy faces or eye lids can get a lot of dirt in their eyes. To clean a dogs eyes, you get a warm damp cloth and gently wipe around the dogs eyes to get rid of the dirt. Dogs ears can get infections very easily. You should get a cotton ball and put a dog ear solution on the cotton ball and wipe your dogs ears on the inside and the outside. Dogs that have floppy ears need to be cleaned more because the air doesnt circulate as freely.
Just like us, dogs should have healthy gums and teeth. use a toothpaste that is intended for dogs and use a tooth brush. If dogs do not have a clean mouth, they could get gum disease. You should brush your dogs teeth at least twice a week. Some dogs will not let you use a tooth brush so you can get tartar-imbating oral spray to spray in the dogs mouth.
