Cleaning a Dogs skin part 2

Okay...I promised you more and here is an issue that plagues many dogs with funky tails. Since a lot of bulldogs have corkscrew or just downright bizarre tails, they require a bit more care than most. Using Mr. Bishop as an example, we  have to make sure that we clean around his big fold of skin above his tail. This is the area most prone to infection and he can't clean it...so it leaves it up to us. We know when it is bothering him when he turns his head from side to side as if something were bitting his rump...but usually it means his skin is acting up a bit and we missed a cleaning or two. So watch the video and learn how easy it is to clean and maintain healthy skin on your dog! A clean dog with infection free skin is a happy dog. My father used to say this all the time when I was growing up and we never owed a dog. Odd man but now I know what he meant. Keep Wagging!

Caring for Bulldog Skin

I've spoken in the past about the issues that pure breeds pose. Everything from surgeries to repair bad knees, backs and hips to allergies. I'm going to show you how to take care of bulldog skin. Actually any dog that has wrinkles needs to have her/his skin cleaned but most pet owners are not aware of this. If they don't take care of the skin properly, their dog can end up with a nasty infection that can quickly become a very serious problem. So if you see a red inflamed area around a fold, time to wipe it out and clean. If a dogs face smells unusually bad, time to clean their face. Good rule of thumb: clean their face by wiping with a baby wipe or wet gauze at least twice a week. Minimum.  Watch the video below to give you an idea of how to do this very easy procedure and keep your dog happy and healthy! Keep wagging!
