           ails may bleed due to a wide range of accidents such as catching a cracked nail in the carpet, breaking a nail while running outside or trimming a nail too short with the nail clippers.

           There are also some internal organ diseases that may affect the nail to crack and crumble, exposing the quick.

      <title>Skunked &amp; Other Malodors</title>

           If your dog has been sprayed by a skunk you need to use an odor neutralizing shampoo immediately. The longer the skunk odor is in the coat, the harder it is to get the smell out. Skunk spray is an oil with a sulfur- alcohol compound in the musk.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Old fashion home remedies like tomato juice or vinegar really do not fully remove the smell since these remedies just mask the odor. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Odor neutralizing shampoos work well on odors caused by dirt, feces, stagnant water or just a strong “doggie smell”.

           Normal ears are pink and clean with a neutral smell. Ear problems could manifest in the following ways: scratching and shaking the head, bad odor in one or both ears, colored discharges ranging from black and waxy to green or yellow, inflamed and swollen ear flap, tilting of the head, and hearing loss. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           ogs that are active outdoors are likely to pick up foreign objects such as dirt and stickers.

           Dogs that have hair in their ears may trap excess moisture in the ear canal. Ear care requires weekly checks of the ear for dirt and debris. Pulling ear hair and shaving a ventilation strip to allow for air flow followed by a gentle ear cleaner is a good weekly routine.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            There are 2 styles of application, choose the one that works best for you.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ol&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Place a moderate amount of Ear Care on a cotton ball. Gently swab outer ear folds until clean. Place cotton ball on tip of finger and gently swab inner ear until cotton ball comes out clean.
            &#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             ﻿
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             Apply 2 drops of Ear Care into the ear canal. Massage the area around the ear to allow the Ear Care to absorb into the ear canal. Allow the pet to shake after application. Use a cotton ball to clean the folds and crevices of the outer ear.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xD;

      <title>Shedding</title>

      <description />
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Shedding is just a natural part of owning a dog. Light is the biggest contributor of the shedding cycle. Artificial light in a house can cause indoor dogs to shed more than outdoor dogs.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           ﻿
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    
          ﻿
          &#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           O﻿ther factors which can affect shedding are illness, disease, hormonal changes, pregnancy, skin problems, bacterial infections and stress. Double coated dogs shed at least once a year.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Short coated dogs shed in a mosaic pattern and can shed year round. When a dog is in a shedding cycle it is good to bathe, dry and brush the dog to remove the dead coat. This helps the skin to breathe. Removing the dead coat will help uncover hidden matting, hot spots and many other skin problems. See your veterinarian if you see excessive shedding, bald spots or symmetric hair loss.

           A dog with excessively oily or excessively dry skin is likely to have seborrhea. One major symptom of seborrhea is greasy hair because of the excess oil the skin is producing.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      
           ogs with this condition often scratch and cause hair loss, scaly inflamed skin with flakes and a foul odor. This is chronic in some breeds but can also be brought about by allergies, fungal or bacterial infections, parasites and skin diseases. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Solutions include shampoos or coat and skin treatments that gently remove the oil while treating the skin.

           Our pets suffer with allergies much like us humans. Allergies usually fit into 2 categories with our pets; food allergies and inhalant allergies such as grasses, trees, molds and other seasonal pollens.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           S﻿igns of allergies might include any one or more of the following; itchy skin, chewing and licking of the feet, watery eyes, nasal and eye discharge, chronic ear infections scratching or chewing.
          &#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           Hypo-allergenic shampoos use ingredients that are less likely to cause an allergic reaction including the absence of fragrance or cologne.

           Arthritis is a condition that affects the joints. Large dogs are affected more than small dogs because of the extra strain placed on the ligaments and joints.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Dogs will experience different degrees of lameness, stiffness and joint pain. Damp and cold surroundings increase pain and stiffness. Natural products such as peppermint oil can help relieve the inflammation.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           There are multiple causes of tear staining, including excessive tearing, genetics, health, diet and allergies.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The most common cause of tear staining is excessive tearing. Eliminating excess tearing is one of the best ways to stop staining. If there is any foul odor associated with the staining a vet visit is recommended.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           hen the facial hair is wet it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast to grow. Keeping the hair away from the face will prevent hair from falling into the eyes causing irritation.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A change in diet and drinking bottled water can also help control excessive tearing.

           Flaps and folds on the short faced dogs are a breeding ground for yeast and infections if those areas are not kept cleaned. Using a facial cleaner to keep the area clean and dry in-between baths will control odor and prevent vet bills. Gentle tearless foaming facials cleanser will remove dirt and unsightly tear and food stains while brightening any facial coloring. The light and airy tearless foam leaves a fragrant scent to the face. May be used as a quick spot cleaner on the body, legs, paws or tail.

           The paw pad is covered by thick leathery skin and allows the dog to sweat. If the dog's pad stays soft and pliable it will keep from becoming dry and cracked.

           Cracking can be caused by numerous environmental conditions such as extreme weather; icy cold conditions, extended periods on cement, humid dry areas, or items that can puncture the pad such as rocks, stickers or cactus

            A dog’s matted coat is both uncomfortable and hazardous to their health. Mats pull at the skin and may cause it to break down over time. Removing mats can be a simple process given the proper tools, but may be very time-consuming if the dog is not kept on a regular grooming schedule.

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           For severely matted dogs, the only option may be to shave the pet. If the hair is matted, it has no exposure to the air and sores and redness will appear. There are many products to help with mat removal such as dematting sprays, finishing sprays, silicones, etc.

           Dermatitis is a common allergic skin disease first triggered by pollens and eventually leads to all kinds of allergens. Itching leads to hair loss, scabs and thick flaky skin. Hypo-allergenic and medicated shampoos should be used.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Flea bite dermatitis is from an allergic reaction to the saliva of a flea. The reaction is severe itching, inflamed skin, hair loss and red bite marks.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Flea control is the key to solving the problem, followed up with medicated shampoo, conditioner and a rinse to sooth the area.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Itchy skin may cause your dog to excessively scratch, bite or lick their skin. Itching can be caused by many things such as parasites, dehydration, allergies, infections, humidity, congenital diseases or hormone levels. Itching scrapes the skin and hair follicle, thus damaging the top layer which protects and holds in moisture.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           ﻿Sebaceous glands secrete oils that protect the skin and coat. If moisture is too low and damage is done to these glands, they may not produce enough oil and lead to dry, itchy skin, or overproduce and cause oily skin. If the itching is not relieved, scratching can lead to skin damage and secondary infections.

           Dull blades cause clipper irritation by dragging against the skin and pulling hair. When you pull hair rather than clip it, you can cause irritation. The more the dog itches, the more the rash spreads, and it can get really sore and red. Clipper irritation can cause the dog’s skin to be red, itchy and inflamed.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Common causes are dull blades, clipping too close, hot blades, matted coats or allergies. Sensitive areas such as the face, throat, groin, anus and genitals are generally the parts of the body that show signs of irritation. If left untreated the pet will lick and scratch, causing secondary problems.

           Hot spots are painful, swollen, warm patches of skin. They ooze pus and can be quite smelly. Hot spots are the result of flea bites, allergies, lack of grooming and other skin diseases. Hot spots are most common in thick-coated breeds because dead hair is trapped next to the skin.

  &lt;/h5&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Hot spots are treated by clipping the hair, cleaning the skin and treating with topical solutions like Espree’s Hot Spot Foam – a calming herbal foam for the relief of itching and burning due to hot spots, insect bites, and allergic rashes. Aloe and Chamomile are natural extracts that soothe the skin. Tea Tree Oil promotes the healing process. Goldenseal relieves itching and inflammation. Green Tea fights off infection and Ylang Ylang contains antiseptic qualities. (Do not use on cats)
