Some great information

Please check your pets nails

VET TALK TUESDAY

Overgrown nails in dogs can pose several dangers and discomfort for both the dog and its owner. Some of the risks and issues associated with overgrown nails include:

1. Pain and discomfort: Overgrown nails can make it painful for dogs to walk and can lead to deformities in their gait.

2. Joint problems: Overgrown nails can alter the dog's posture, gait and mobility, potentially causing joint problems, including arthritis.

3. Damage to floors and furniture: Long nails can scratch and damage flooring and furniture in your home.

4. Infections: Overgrown nails are more prone to splitting or breaking, which can lead to infections in the nail bed.

To prevent overgrown nails in dogs, consider the following:

1. Regular nail trimming: Trim your dog's nails regularly, but be cautious not to cut too close to the quick (the sensitive, pink part of the nail). You can use dog nail clippers or seek the help of a professional groomer or veterinarian.

2. Exercise: Regular exercise can help naturally wear down a dog's nails, especially if they walk on hard surfaces like concrete.

3. Monitoring: Pay attention to your dog's nails and trim them when you notice they are getting too long. Different dogs may require different trimming schedules based on their activity levels and the rate of nail growth.

Regular nail maintenance is essential for your dog's comfort and health. If you're unsure about how to trim your dog's nails, it's best to consult with a professional groomer or veterinarian for guidance.

PRODUCT OF THE MONTH:

Malaseb:

It is normal for pets to have low numbers of resident bacteria and yeast on the skin surface. When there is a disruption to the skin’s natural ecosystem, these bacteria and yeast can overgrow, leading to skin disease.
Underlying causes of secondary bacterial and yeast infections of the skin can include:
• Allergy – environmental allergens such as tree pollens and weeds, food allergy, flea allergy.
• Parasites, such as fleas, mites, and lice.
• Hormonal or endocrine diseases.

Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo is a treatment for seborrhoeic dermatitis, bacteria, and yeast, as well as an aid in the treatment of dermatophytosis (ringworm) in dogs and cats. It is formulated to remove scale, degrease the skin, and kill cutaneous micro-organisms that primarily or secondarily cause dermatitis.

Directions for use:

• Wet the animal thoroughly with clean water.
• Apply Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo to your pet at several points and massage into the coat.
• Using a sponge may assist with lathering and pe*******on of the shampoo through the coat.
• Use approximately 1-2 mL per kg of body weight.
• Leave the shampoo on for 10 minutes. Ensure your pet is supervised during this time to avoid ingestion or inhalation of the shampoo.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
We currently stock Malaseb shampoo at the clinic, if you are concerned your pet may have a skin infection, or is suspected to have dermatophytosis, please visit your local veterinarian for a consultation.

GROOMING TIP TUESDAY

Teach your dog to enjoy grooming sessions

Many dogs, especially puppies, need encouragement and positive reinforcement when you first introduce them to a grooming routine.

These tips will help the first few at-home grooming sessions go smoothly:

1: when sitting down at night, play with your puppy's feet and face, get them used to people playing with them

2: Take things slowly and give lots of treats and praise so your pup will look forward to its next pampering session.

3: Before bath time, lay a slip-proof mat in the tub to prevent your dog from sliding around.

GROOMING TIP TUESDAY

Regularly check your dog’s ears

While grooming your dog, remember to take a closer look at its ears. Ear infections can be painful, so if you notice any of the following changes or behaviour's, take your dog to your vet for a check-up:

- The inside of the ears is inflamed or moist.
- The ears smell odd (often, the smell of a dog ear infection is sweet).
- Your dog shakes its head or scratches at its ears.
- The ears contain more or a different kind of discharge than usual (a little wax is normal).
- Whines or yelps when you examine the dog’s ears.

Grooming Tip Tuesday

Why Brush/Groom Your Dog?

Brushing and combing your dog’s hair coat is an important part of general pet care. Brushing helps to keep your dog’s coat in good condition by removing loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

Brushing also helps to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a shiny coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to reduce the need to bath and therefore reduce the frequency of bathing.

Brushing and grooming are activities that help to strengthen the positive relationship bond between dogs and their owners. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfortable experience for dogs and owners.

GROOMING TIP TUESDAY

Why Bathe Your Dog?

Bathing your dog when needed is an important part of general pet care. For dogs with healthy skin and a healthy coat, the most common reason to bathe is to remove an unpleasant odour or because they’ve accumulated dirt on their coat.

The benefits of bathing can include cleaning the skin and coat which helps to remove loose hair, scale and debris and improve the hair coat’s shine.

For dogs with specific skin conditions, bathing may be part of their medical treatment plan as recommended by their vet.
