So then I decided to compile up some tips for extra dog facial care! These things really do help. In our day to day pet care, we need to put this stuff in so that the little ones enjoy even more! If you have got anything to add into this please comment.

• Clean your Dog’s eyes: This is a very important thing to do, twice everyday, you should clean your Dog’s eyes, although this doesn’t mean giving them eye drops or exposing a cloth to their eye itself.

  What you need to do is take a little damp cloth (NOT a towel mind you) and clean your Dog’s eye edges thoroughly, as well as the muzzle’s upper area, do this twice per day and your Dog will be hyperactive and free from eye problems for a long long time.

• Hair Trimming: If you have a Dog that has long hair, such as a Tibetan Terrier, a Lhasa Apso or the like, what you need to do is to trim its hair from time to time, the parts which need special emphasis are the hair that obstruct the Dog’s eyesight and the hair below its muzzle.

  ESPECIALLY the hair below the muzzle actually because of the fact that when your dog nibbles at stuff and sniffs here and there, bacteria and germs get stuck to these hair and they could get through inside the dog’s mouth and cause it harm.

• Whisker Care: A dog’s whiskers are very important for it to move around and detect things, therefore it is advised to keep a check on the Dog’s whiskers, NEVER cut them though, just make sure there are no hair surrounding the whiskers or gripping it, because those hair could put the Dog’s senses into problems.
• Teeth cleaning: We all brush our teeth isn’t it? Well, its important to brush the Dog’s teeth as well! Although I am not sure if you can use your toothpaste but you can of course use a normal toothbrush, but make sure its a new one.

  A dog usually eats quite roughly and therefore a lot of stuff gets stuck in between its teeth, now you must have noticed that when something gets stuck in between our teeth we become restless and keep thinking about it, same is with Dogs as well, they will also feel fresh if you brush their teeth, make sure you brush the big teeth found in the deeper areas of the muzzle because they very important.

• Ear Check: Keep a check on the dog’s ears! Because most of the times parasites make this a safe haven for dwelling, and it could happen to the safest and most protected of dogs as well! This happens often with German Shepherds and big dogs. So yeah its really important to check it often.
• Dog Glasses: When you take your Dog out for walks or take it in your car and the little one puts two feet on the car window to get as much air as it can, try to make it wear Dog Glasses, or more popularly, Dog Goggles. They rule if you ask me because of the fact that (a) it provides protection for the Dog’s eyes and (2) it enables the Dog to get a better view of its surroundings (this is most effective when its in the car)

So yep this is all I could think of right now but for all readers, I’ll keep giving out more and more tips for dog care! Because its these little things that help a lot. and again if you have anything to add to Facial care, leave a reply!
