BATHINGModerate bathing like once in a month or four times a year is considered best. Dogs can be bathed by being sprayed with a hand-held shower head, or doused with water from a bucket. Dogs with a heavy or matted coat should be completely brushed out or clipped of any mats before bathing.Shampoos and conditioners formulated especially for pets should be used as their skin has a different pH than ours.  A second bath is excellent to ensure the entire body has been cleaned.

TEETH CLEANING

One of the first indicators that your dog’s teeth need attention is that his breath smells bad. For most dogs teeth are a neglected part of the body and so it requires greater attention. It is important to keep your dog’s teeth and gum in good condition and two good ways to keep their teeth clean are through brushing and chewing. Dental scale and polish every 6 to 12 months is key to free your dog’s teeth from any diseases.
