grooming questions

• grooming questions mondayblues Posted : 8/20/2006 10:33:29 PM How do you clean your dog's ears? I put a little Epi-optic (sp?) on a cotton ball and just wipe the ears clean, is that OK? Also, can anyone suggest a good nail clipper? Thanks in advance.

Then, let the dog shake and all the gunk that was in the ears is dislodged and you can then wipe it away with a cotton ball. Don't worry about getting "water" in the dog's ears- ear cleaner has a quick-dry agent in it and is totally safe to get inside the ears.   Nail clippers- I don't recommend the guillotine type- just a pain to use.  These are good: [linkhttp://www.dog.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=190805+4L&Cat=Grooming%20Supply]http://www.dog.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=190805+4L&Cat=Grooming%20Supply[/link]   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
