 | GROOMING THE BASICS BY CANINE COAT CARE The Canine Coat Care video series produced by AMP Productions started in 1996 with the initial aim to satisfy the show exhibitor market but was soon expanded to include the pet groomer and owner market. They now have an extensive DVD library catering for a number of breeds. This title is a general grooming introduction of value particularly to a new owner, or even an asset if you are yet to decide which breed you want to adopt. 2008-02-15 more ... |

| § | LIVING WITH WHAT DOG OWNERS CALL BAD BITES AND DENTISTS CALL MALOCCLUSION Bad bite, or malocclussion, is where the upper front/incisor teeth do not gently overlap the lower front/incisor teeth; in the correct bite, the upper teeth lie just in front of the lower ones when the dog's mouth is closed. You can check this by gently lifting up the upper the lip and easing down the lower lip in the front. Occasionally a happy tongue will 'escape' and try to lick you but you can ask the dog not to 'help' and you will see how the teeth fit together. The correct form for a Clumber's bite is as described, and it is the same in humans. 2005-10-10 more ... |

| § | EARS - CLEANING & CARE I don't do a weekly wipe! But all my dogs have kennel mates that often undetake that task
for cleaning I use a "Wet Ones" (moist toilette brand, available at Australian supermarkets) at a show, or a tissue and 50/50 white vinegar water at home, or witchhazel
for mucky ears, a squirt of zinc oxide powder does a brilliant job, Curash for adults - sold thorough Australian chemists, may be 2 days then 2 days without, then one more day for the powder, and that cleans up most issues for my dogs. I haven't resort to Epi-Otic or other commerical ear cleanres for many years now, but it is a fair product. 2004-03-01 more ... |
