Update on excessive licking or chewing using Warren London Deep Cleaning Paw Fizz Tablets. This was a gray football Sunday experiment. Tucker looks like a whole different dog now! 😄 I also used the new trimmer I picked up during Prime Day. It made trimming his feet a breeze! I will add my Amazon links in the comments below.

I totally forgot that today was a big Amazon deal day! Many of you have asked me about trimming the bottom of paws and ears! Check this little trimmer out! It also comes in several colors just to make us feel a little more fancy. 🐾🐩🐕‍🦺🐕

This oneisall dog clipper features compact body and narrow head, great for grooming on small area.

Itchy paws update:
These are the products I purchased and will be testing on my fur babies. I’m not set up for videos yet but I will try to grab some photos as I use them. The instructions on each seem fairly simple. Fingers crossed!!

Do any of your pups chew on their feet? I have two that are always licking or chewing on their paws. There are a couple items on the market that are supposed to help with that. I am going to order and try them so I can tell you if there is any value in trying them. Stay tuned!

This is our little “circus dog,” Mattie. She is full of energy and loves to walk on her hind legs like her humans! We affectionately call her Mattie-cakes and I am crossing my fingers she is bred. December puppies are always so much fun.

Eye Boogers
That crunchy stuff that gathers in the corner of your Yorkie’s eyes. This is rather common and can be caused by dried tears, dust, allergens or even pesky hairs around the eyes. There is not a lot you can do to stop these from forming all together but definitely some things you can do to keep them under control.
1. Give attention to their eyes at least a couple times a week
2. Use an eye safe foamy solution to soften the crunchies
3. Once softened, gently run a nit comb through the hairs to pull out the softened gunk. Always slide the comb away from the eye and be careful to not snag their whiskers
4. Add a tiny bit of mineral oil to the hairs around the eye to make it easy to continue to wipe these eye boogers easily. Less is more.
5. Keep the hairs pulled back or trimmed around the eyes.

I like to use Blueberry Facial with a foaming bottle brush. Doesn’t cause issues if it gets in their eyes or if they lick it. Smells pretty good too. Dilute and place in the foaming bottle. It is also a really good brightening shampoo to use on white coats. Links below:

Yorkies tend to have dry skin and without proper care, dry and brittle hair. If you are bathing your babies at home, make sure you are conditioning their hair and skin after bathing. I recently started using this leave-in conditioner and have had great results! After the hair has dried, apply a small amount to your hands and gently run your hands over all of the coat. After you have very lightly coated the hair, brush them with a soft bristled brush. This will take the conditioner down to their skin where the oils are desperately needed. This, along with regular brushing will help keep their coats and skin healthy and hydrated! Below is a link to the conditioner I have been using.

Size: 8 Oz Premium non-oily leave-in conditioner that hydrates, conditions, de-matts, and moisturizes. It will leave your pup's skin and coat feeling silky smooth without feeling greasy.

Many pet owners may not realize how expensive unexpected veterinary bills can be. Treatment for problems like cancer, an ingested foreign object or torn ligaments can cost thousands of dollars at the vet. Pet insurance can be a good way to cover these costs. Without it, you would have to pay the ent

FYI: The next 4-6 weeks is mating season for coyotes. Please do not let your dogs out alone. The coyote gets your dog to chase him and then somewhere in the distance the pack waits for your dog. Then the outcome is tragic as they can & will attack/kill your pets. Just be aware it can happen to your beloved pet. {Coyote breeding typically peaks in late February and early March, the gestation period averages 58 to 63 days. Male coyotes can become more aggressive during this time of year, the long and short of it all is that coyotes always pose a risk to your dog (and other small pets). That risk increases during mating season.
