Jkpal, thanks! The lighting actually makes his coat look a lot shinier
maxdog, hahaha
yes, I totally wish it'd only take 1 minute! Think my fastest time is 30min!
matese, thanks!! Scottie is actually quite good with being still. He's such a good boy!!
Maximo, thank you! Haha.. the sped up video sure makes it look easy - but my hunched-over-the-tub aching back never thinks so
chasingbella, thank you!! I find the hairs around their ears get oily, so when I bathe them I definitely wash it too. For some reason, when I pour water over their heads, as shown, I don't feel like the water gets into the inside of their ears. Only thing is I make sure to be
very careful not to pour water over their nose - they start to choke up.
When I dry them, I use the towel to massage the ears and get as much of the moisture out. I also trim back the hairs growing out of the ear canal every now and then, but I
don't pluck the hair or use Q-tips to clean the inside. Plus...from what I've read, since Yorkies' ears stand up, there is enough air circulation to prevent moisture in the ear. Haha..so sorry, no real secret
If you're worried about ear infections, maybe focus more on their health? My little ones are on Nature's Farmacy Probiotics Max supplements. I also read that adding a little spray of Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar to their water (we have the Bragg brand) prevents yeast, hence preventing ear infections (plus many many many other health benefits).
