Dog Care- An essential home hygene care for your furkid

Hi.. As we all know, Sabah community is very lucky and blessed. Every household has got ample space, every household can even have up to 3 dogs at home, and a domestic dog is only serve as a purpose to be guard dog or alert dog for each household.

In metropolitan city, dogs are not only serve as a purpose of alert, they also serve as a therapeutic companion and service dog. Certain dogs does give comfort to their masters, some even sleep with the masters, day in and out. So how do we actually take care of our dogs hygene?

A few things we need to note and always check on is their ears, under carriage( sanitary area), claws, paws pad, and hair mat...

Ears -

Ears are the most significant area in checking your dogs. this is because most dirt, germs and even ticks and fleas likes to trap themselves in between the folded ears and breed in it. Hence, the floppy ears are easy infected and caused skin desease.

Under carriage ( sanitary area) -

sanitary area are always in touch with hair during the urine. Hence, the discharge from urine always trap at the tip of the hair and sometimes around the sanitary area. it is important to keep all hair away from sanitary area in order to avoid, anal infection, as well as skin problem around under carriage.

Pad Paw-

As you can see they are always hair growth in between the paw pads of our furkid ( especially, Goldent retriever, husky, poodle, shit Tzu, Chow Chow, Cocker Spaniel, maltese, Havanese ....) it is important to remove the paw pads hair in order to keep our dogs feet clean and away from external trapped germs.

Hair mat-

This matting issue has been occuring to most of the long hair furkids i.e : maltese, shitzu, silky terrier and even poodle. de matting is important to make our dogs always Look good , fluffy and confident while going out with the master.... De matting is a form of cleaning our dog by letting the air in between their fur to loosen so germs doesnt easyly trap inside.
