Dogs, like people, need regular makeup and beauty treatments. Only in this way can our dogs be healthy and beautiful. Dog grooming requires more patience and energy than people. It is best to groom your dog every day, especially in the four parts of your dog’s teeth, eyes, ears, and buttocks. Check whether there are any lesions in these four parts. It requires careful care and attention from the owner.

Four parts that need attention

Teeth: Dogs also have dental problems, so as a parent, you must brush your dog’s teeth every day to prevent the formation of tartar, tartar and periodontal disease. You can buy dog-specific toothbrushes and toothpaste at pet supply stores or animal clinics. Soft-bristled toothbrushes for children are also acceptable, but never use human toothpaste to brush your dog's teeth. This will cause discomfort to the dog's digestive system. . Follow the instructions on the toothpaste label and use an appropriate amount of toothpaste to brush your dog's teeth, remembering to brush the surface of each tooth. In the first few times, the dog will run away because he is not used to it, so you have to patiently help him adapt. If your dog refuses to brush its teeth no matter what, you can use a soft towel or sterilized gauze pad to wipe the dog's teeth. You may wish to add some rough grinding or chewy food (fiber-rich foods such as cereals, fruits and vegetables) into the dog's food. These foods can grind the surface of the teeth when chewing, helping to clean the mouth.

Eyes: Check your dog's eyes frequently to see if there are any abnormalities: excessive eye water, too red eyeballs, or triple eyelids at the corners of the eyes (indicating swollen eyelids) are all signs of a problem and should be treated by a doctor immediately. When cleaning your dog's eyes, use a moist cotton ball or paper towel and gently rub it around the eyes. Do not use hard objects such as fingers or cotton swabs, as these objects can hurt the eyes.

Ears: Check your dog's ears carefully every week to see if there is any inflammation, redness or swelling, smell if there is any peculiar smell, and touch it to see if the dog feels any tingling. If everything is fine, just clean it with a dry cotton ball. If there is earwax, you can lightly dip some glycerin on a cotton swab and clean it carefully, or use cleaning products recommended by your veterinarian to remove it.

Buttocks: Although it is a bit disgusting, it is best to check your dog's buttocks from time to time to see if there are any anal fissures, inflammation, and if the dog's feces is stuck to the anus and making a mess. If your dog refuses to go to the toilet due to inflammation and pain, there is likely something wrong with the anus. Do not open the dog's anus yourself to help him excrete. You should ask your veterinarian for help and let him do it for you.

If your dog often makes his buttocks dirty when defecating, you should trim the hair on his buttocks shorter, especially for long-haired dogs. To make your dog feel that grooming is a fun thing, you can prepare some special food as a reward when grooming your dog, and he will be obedient and let you dance with him. You have to be patient, success does not happen overnight.
