Puppy Grooming
- Give puppy a bath when necessary, otherwise you can do so every
1.5/2 weeks. Fill the sink up with enough warm water to soak half
their body. Put the shampoo in your hand warm it and wash their
body once too get the dirt and all the nasties out then rinse off and
release the water fill up with warm again and do a second wash
-We recommend
o Prior to washing your dog, use tweezers to remove the hair in their
ears so you can clean their ears thoroughly.
o shear magic shampoo: Add some apple cider vinegar into the
shampoo (50/50 ratio of shampoo and vinegar) to help with flea
control, shine & an overall healthy coat. Add the shampoo inside
their ears and use two fingers to rub their ears, front and back. This
is to prevent ear infections. Using a diluted vinegar solution (a bit of
apple cider vinegar in a bowl of warm water), rinse your dog with it
after the shower and dry your puppy using the hair dryer! This is to
prevent fleas and maintain a healthy coat. The 50/50 vinegar and
everyday shampoo mix is recommended for the 5L bottle as you can
keep it in stock for a long time period and more convenient,however,
you can also do this step for the 500ml bottle if preferred.
o ProCare slicker and a comb: are the recommended brushes we use
if you have a longer haired toy poodle. The comb is good for tangles,
the slicker is a good brush if you want a thorough grooming.
o Every 2 months add coconut oil to the dog’s body. Rub the dogs
fur with coconut oil on a sunny day. Leave it for 4 hours and wash
afterwards with the shampoo mentioned above. This is mainly for
