| answered a question | Can I leave my dog in the car? Definitely not. Too many hazards. |
| answered a question | What's the best dog shampoo for dry itchy skin? This is definitely a loaded question. Make sure allergies are ruled out as well as fleas. Supplemental fat in the diet can be helpful as well as a shampoo with oatmeal & lavender. |
| answered a question | In the winter the tips of my dog's ears get scabby. Is there anything I can do to treat them? I would also recommend adding some fat to the diet during the winter to combat dryness - a little oil on their dry food, a supplement, or wet food mixed in. If you bathe more than once a month, be sure to use a good moisturizing conditioner. |
| answered a question | Is it okay to remove your dog's eye gunk with your fingers? Wipes or damp towel are best, as they said, but in a pinch your clean fingers will work... watch out if you've got longer nails and be sure there are no open wounds (hangnails, etc) to transfer fluids. |
