- Brushing, Combing, Trimming and Nails for your dogs
Brushing not only makes your pet’s coat look nice and shiny. It is vital for skin and overall health and provides you with the opportunity to spend some quality time with your dog. You will be able to check your dog closely for any problems during brushing. Move the hair aside and examine the skin closely for signs of flea, ticks or skin irritations. Check for mats, tangles, dandruff, etc. When you brush, do a section at a time, brushing down to the skin on thick-coated dogs. To avoid coat breakage, only brush clean coats and mist with water or a mixture of water and coat conditioner. Mats and tangles can be carefully removed with de-matters and rakes or, if necessary, carefully cut out. If you are finding lots of mats, it’s a sure sign you are not grooming frequently enough. Don’t bathe until all mats and tangles are out. Combs are useful for the fine coat that grows around ears and for feathering. Spend time with puppies and newly adopted dogs to get them gradually and gently used t grooming procedures. Go slowly and patiently and dispense plenty of praise and high value treats. Learn where he likes to be combed and brushed and where he doesn’t. All dogs have sensitive areas that need to be groomed a little more gently and carefully than others. By paying special attention to these areas, you will help make your dog more comfortable while being groomed, and he will not resist future grooming sessions. You will also become familiar with areas that he enjoys having groomed. This is helpful if you need to calm him during stressful times such as veterinary visits. Short and medium-coated dogs must be brushed once a week and have their nails trimmed. It’s also a good idea to scissor overgrown hair that grows between the foot pads and, if desired, around the food to give a nice, tidy appearance. Don’t worry if you botch it the first time. It’ll grow back and you’ll get better with practice. Even if you decide not to trim feet, check between foot pads during grooming for foxtails (common in California), ticks, bumps and debris. Wipe tearstains with a cotton ball moistened with warm water. Check inside the ears for debris, ticks or signs of inflammation. Wipe with a ear cleaning solution for dogs, if desired, or a mixture of white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. Dogs with skin folds, such as bulldogs, Pekes, Shih-Tzus and chows need these cleaned, preferably daily, with a moist cotton ball, and then dried with a dry cotton ball to avoid dermatitis and fungal infections. Trim nails every week or two. Brush teeth weekly with products for dogs to avoid tartar build-up, which not only causes bad breath but can necessitate professional cleaning under general anesthetic if allowed to build up. Longer coated dogs should be brushed more often, ideally every day. No dog should have to endure mats or a dirty, itchy coat. If long-coated dogs dirty themselves during elimination, strategic trimming can prevent this in future.

- Dog Tips, Unleash Your Dog's Star Potential
Does your dog have star potential? Does he love to entertain friends and family with his amusing antics – like running in circles to chase his tail, jumping up and down when dinner is served or howling to his favorite song? Many dog owners enjoy capturing these memorable moments on video so they can share them with other dog lovers.
In some cases, the videos can even make their four-legged friends famous. For example, ALPO brand dog food is searching for the biggest “meat maniac” in America – the lovable, everyday dog who has the most entertaining, humorous and memorable way of showing his excitement when dinner is served. The winning dog will be the new face of ALPO, appearing on millions of cans of dog food and in national print advertising. Dog owners nationwide can visit AlpoRealMeatMoments.com to submit a video of their pooch’s meat maniac moment.
Make sure Rover is comfortable on “set.” Before you press the record button, give your furry companion the chance to become familiar with the video equipment, so he doesn’t run away. Let him sniff the camera and reward him with a treat for good behavior.
Give Fido creative license. Allow your dog to act natural. Capture his unscripted, real, spontaneous behavior when dinner is being served, rather than a trained trick. Allow him to showcase his transformation from everyday dog to meat maniac in his own unique way. Include audio. Think beyond images. Don’t forget to capture the sounds that will help tell your meat maniac’s story, including any barking, howling, grunting and whining in anticipation of the meaty meal.
Turn your spotlight on the star. Lights add depth to any scene. Turn on all of the lights in the room and open the curtains to increase available light, particularly if your dog has a dark coat.
Use a hand held technique. Take the camera off of the tripod and move with your dog to best capture his humorous mealtime moves. Look for unusual angles, such as ground-level shots to add interest. source: www.cass-news.com

As the elderly man, a routine examination to the vet is very important, at least twice a year. Veterinarians will examine the condition of your dog through physical examination or with a specific diagnostic test that will be tailored to the age, race and health status. Veterinarians will usually recommend a blood test and urin, more than that if necessary will be conducted inspections ECG / rays chest cavity.
