I would take him to a Vet. or groomer every couple of weeks for a nail trim, but you can certainly do the rest at home. It's easy and much less expensive. As for showing teeth when you do anything around the face or mouth, my Azrael does the same thing, but it's in no way bareing the teeth, it's just kind of like when we wrinkle our nose. Just use a good dog shampoo and conditioner. I use the #1 All Systems. It's fantastic! I use a baby wash clothe with just a tiny bit of shampoo to wash the face and ears, then rinse with the cloth really well before going on to the rest of the body. I also use a drying solution in the ears after their bath.
Good luck with your new fur-baby. |
