| answered a question | Is it OK to bathe with my dog? If you are using a topical flea and tick medication, like frontline, regular baths will actually was the product off because it resides in the hair follicle oils. So occasional bathes are fine but several times a week may be too much as it will render your flea and tick product inadequate. |
| answered a question | How do you reject strangers who want to handle your dog? I normally state that my dog is friendly and loves people, but we are working on some training and the best way they can help is by ignoring her. Some people think that my dog is aggressive by the way she is reacting and will often cross the street, but truly she is very leash reactive and gets excited. Sometimes it can be difficult in crowded places or when it is a nice day out and everyone is out walking. But I normally just state that I appreciate their interest, however my dog is in training and she cannot interact with people at this time. |
| answered a question | How often should I brush my dog's teeth? I normally tell dog owners doing it as often as you can is better then not at all. If your dog only allows you do it it twice a week, that is fine. Daily is ideal. It will make a difference in the long run and will probably save you from having to do full dentals at your veterinarian in the future. Make sure you use a dog-friendly toothpaste! |
