NAIL CARE

Should be trimmed every 1-2 months. You can often tell when their nails click against the floor.

EAR CARE

Small, closed, or floppy eared dogs are more susceptible to ear infections.

ORAL CARE

About 1 out of every 3 dogs are prone to periodontal diseases. Potential symptoms are gingivitis, receding gums, bad breath, loose teeth, gum bleeding.

ANAL CARE

These glands, from time to time, secrete fluids and oils that can block the glands, causing pain to your beloved furry friend — if they often find themselves rubbing their bottoms on the floor, there may be a blockage by the glands.

Certain breeds like Poodles and Chihuahuas are more inclined to be vulnerable to anal gland defects.
