Helpful Hints

1) RAW HIDE CHEWS: I sell all natural and recommend all natural rawhide treats and bones in my shop.

2) WATER: I learned that chlorine in our water systems causes the body to become very acidic. Chlorine is a poison so my philosophy is to let chlorine do it’s job but take it out at the point of use. Filtered water will help prevent dog urine to leave burn spots on your lawn and if they should have an accident on your carpet, it won’t discolor the carpet.

3) WORMS:I do not recommend giving any worming medicines at home. I encourage people to take their puppies to regular veterinary visits. I also recommend that all puppies are taken to the vet within three days of purchase for a full checkup and any medicines or worming to be prescribed by a veterinarian.

4) EAR PROBLEMS: It is very important to keep the hair out of the ear canal. When moisture gets in the ear canal and there is a lot of hair, bacteria builds up and ear infections can develop such as yeast and other kinds. The product that I have had the best success with is called WONDER EAR. It is a powder that you shake down into the ear canal that helps dry up the moisture and retard the bacteria that may grow there. This is a wonderful product.

5) TEETH: Brushing your dog’s teeth each time you bathe them is a good thing. Use a good stiff tooth brush, with just a bit of pet safe tooth paste. It will save money in teeth cleaning bills in the future. Use a softer brush for puppies and young dogs.

6) DIARRHEA: I always recommend seeing a vet first to make sure its not a parasite.
