HEALTHY TIPS

Ear Infections
Many times a rampant ear infection can be the cause of excessive tearing and
staining. Care needs to be taken that when your dog is bathed the ears are dried
after the bath. When your dog is bathed make sure a good cleansing product that
will leave the ears dry is used. Scraggly hairs in the ears should also be removed by
plucking or using a forceps to gently pull the hair out. Frequent cleaning with a
product such as Nolvasan Otic can go along way to insuring clean ears and a white
face. There are several good products to use for ear infections.

Eyes’ Irritation
It is also important to be extra careful when bathing your dog. Shampoo and other
chemicals in the eyes can cause irritation and excess tearing. You can use a little
DuoLube, which is a sterile mineral oil, to protect your dogs' eyes when bathing
them. You can find this product in the eye care section of most regular drug stores.

Coat
For a brighter coat, add constantly ice cubes to your dog’s water bowl.
