Feeling overwhelmed with your pup’s routine hygiene care? 🐾
We’ve got you covered! Here’s a quick guide to the essential hygiene practices every pup needs:
✨ Regular Bathing
Your dog’s coat needs regular care, not just when their springtime shedding occurs or in the fall when their winter coat comes in. Maintaining a regular brushing and bathing schedule based on your dog’s breed means you’ll be taking care of an important part of your dog’s health.
✨ Ear Cleaning
Gather your tools before getting started. A good-quality dog ear cleaner is recommended, and a vet or dog wellness expert can suggest the best type for your breed.
✨ Nail Trimming
If you hear the tick of pup toenails on your floors or see snags in your carpet, it’s definitely time for a trim. The general rule is to trim your pup’s nails just before they reach the floor, roughly one-eighth of an inch from the ground. How often depends on a few factors such as your dog’s age, living conditions, and activity rate.
✨ Teeth Brushing
Use dog-specific brushes and toothpaste to get the best results. Truth bomb: Just like your own teeth, (ideally) you should be brushing your dog’s teeth every day to prevent plaque and tartar buildup. If you aren’t currently brushing your dog’s teeth regularly, this may sound overwhelming so just remember: the more often, the better!
