| I clean their eye goop & brush their teeth everyday. If you leave it there, it gets caked on & it gets very hard to remove. During bath time would be best after shampooing, as the water would have softened it.

LOL My youngest is 32...wihch is amazing since I'm only 26...bwahahahahah I just use water and a 2-sided teeny comb...either during their bath or just with a little face washing after a meal. I use the wide side to detangle muzzle hair and the fine side to remove the goobers after any tangles are out. But, the wipes are very handy for lots of stuff...and good to just to keep in your car...in case...I don't like that alcohol 'goo' in the bottles everyone uses now. My oldest is 36 and he was just telling someone, after he offered them a baby wipe to clean their hands, how weird it seems that he still carries baby wipes around even though his daughter is...12...lol

| I get a clean wash cloth, wet it with warm water and let Dinky bury his face in ti. Sometimes he resists a bit, but he usually likes it. the gunk softens and I can wipe it off. |

| OMG! I bought the Clorox wipes for surfaces, and before I put them away my DH grabbed one and began wiping his face and neck off with one! I use mostly generic type wipes for faces and butts.

| I have the eye gunk issues and my oldest (15) gets gunk that is black like tar. Just was at the vet and he said not to be concerned, the little hairs cause irritation and to use a cotton ball with warm water to soften. I use a flea comb to help get it removed also. They are all used to the routine now and tolerate the process.

He's in full coat, but some of the long hairs find their way into his eyes and it becomes a tangled, sticky mess overnight. These last two days have been so much better. I just ask my vet for the eye ointment for occassional use and he sells it to me. Just the plain, non-steroidal kind.

| Cleaning their eyes I went to walgreens and bought a soft toothbrush and when I bathe Charlie I just hold his head and gently brush under his eyes, with baby shampoo and water... I dont want to take the chance of getting anything in his eyes that might burn - it works great!! Interestingly, I just changed his dog food and his eyes are watery and gunky after a week of this new food. I'm at a loss for what food is best for him, he either doesn't like them or he has a reaction - scratchy skin and now eye problems. I am back to the food " drawing board" |

Also, most pet stores allow returns if your dog does not like the food. Ask for store policies. You may be able to try different foods this way. Just be careful and allow extra time for getting used to a food before writing it off. Also, never try new food cold. Always start off by mixing with old food then slowly switch.
