I am not an exhibitor, only a civilian, but I want to band my pet Yorkie's beard to try to protect it when he chews on his Merrick Wishbones. He has been chewing on his beard and getting the beef tendon yuckies stuck in his hair. I like what the chews do for cleaning his teeth and keeping him entertained, but I don't want him to lose his beard.
Where is the best place on the face and chin to band, how close to the skin, and how often should they be removed or changed?
Does anyone have pictures or links to pictures to demonstrate the banding?
Thank you for your help.
