Precautions for cleaning and care of dogs 1: Teeth cleaning and care
1. Use a special toothbrush for dogs to brush teeth. The special toothbrush for dogs is made of synthetic soft-bristled brushes with a wavy brush surface, which can effectively clean all parts of the teeth.
2. Dog dental diseases usually first manifest as dental plaque, and minerals in saliva will turn dental plaque into tartar. Tartar is a breeding ground for bacteria, and bacterial growth leads to bad odor in the mouth. In addition, pathogens will invade the dog's blood, causing lesions in organs such as the liver, lungs, and kidneys.
3. Dogs' teeth should be examined by a veterinarian at least once a year, and the owner should check once a week to see if there are any symptoms of inflammation. Brushing teeth more than 3 times a week can effectively maintain the dog's oral hygiene.

3. Do not pluck too much ear hair at a time, and the action should be gentle.

3. Long-term use of eye drops or eye ointments containing corticosteroids can cause fundus atrophy and even blindness.
