1. Eyes

Eyes are the windows to the soul, and having a pair of big, watery eyes is the first desire of dogs. If the dog's eyes appear red and swollen, have excessive secretions, or accumulate mucus in the corners of the eyes, the owner should take appropriate measures immediately to solve the problem. For ordinary inflammatory symptoms, the owner can use a cotton ball dipped in water or 2% boric acid, gently wipe away the mucus and secretions from the dog's eyes or corners, and confirm that it is wiped clean before instilling eye drops. After 1-2 days, the inflammation will disappear. Can be eliminated.

2. Teeth

Although dogs don’t show their eight teeth when they smile, it doesn’t mean they don’t need to clean their teeth. If too much food residue accumulates between the dog's teeth, it will cause the dog to have bad breath, and the formation of dental plaque will also lead to the occurrence of tooth decay in the dog. The owner can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean the dog's teeth and gums, and the food residue in the teeth can be removed with dental floss. Generally speaking, the frequency of teeth cleaning is once a week.

3. Ears

Under normal circumstances, the owner only needs to clean the ear canal with a cotton ball. If the owner finds that the dog's ears are inflamed, red, swollen or even smelly, it is best to take the dog to a pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Many dogs have long hair, which can mask some symptoms. Owners should develop the habit of regular check-ups.

4. Butt

Many abnormal behaviors of dogs indicate that they may have some problems. For example, some owners think that it is normal for dogs to rub their buttocks, but this is not the case. The main reason why dogs rub their buttocks is that their anal glands have not been cleaned for a long time and need to be cleaned in time. In addition, if there is very thin feces stuck to the hair near the dog’s butt, it means that the dog may have some digestive problems recently, and the owner needs to pay attention.

5. Toenails

Dogs’ toenails grow very quickly, and if they are not cut for a period of time, they may accidentally injure their owners and other dogs due to overlong toenails. Usually owners need to cut their dog's toenails once a month. It is best to use dog-specific scissors when trimming toenails, and then file them flat with a file after cutting. Be careful not to cut the dog's blood vessels. If you accidentally cut a blood vessel, apply Yunnan Baiyao or iodine as soon as possible to prevent infection.
