Eyes are the windows of the soul, and having a pair of big watery eyes is the first demand for dogs. If the dog's eyes have redness, excessive secretions, and mucus accumulation in the corners of the eyes, the owner should immediately take corresponding measures to solve the problem.

For ordinary symptoms of inflammation, the owner can dip a cotton ball in clean water or 2% boric acid, gently wipe off the mucus and secretions from the eyes or corners of the dog. After confirming that it is cleaned, then add eye drops. The inflammation will be eliminated after 1-2 days.

Although dogs don't have to show eight teeth when they smile, this does not mean they don't need to clean their teeth. If too much food residue accumulates between dogs' teeth, it will cause the dog to breathe badly, and the formation of plaque will also lead to the dog's tooth decay. The owner can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean the dog's teeth and gums, and the food residues between the teeth can be removed by floss. Generally speaking, the frequency of teeth cleaning is once a week.

Under normal circumstances, the owner just needs to clean the ear canal with a cotton ball. If the owner finds inflammation, redness, swelling or even odor in the dog's ears, it is best to take the dog to the pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Many dogs have longer hair, which will cover up some symptoms, and owners should develop the habit of regular check-ups. Many abnormal behaviors of dogs indicate that they may have some problems. For example, some owners think that it is normal for dogs to grind their butts, but this is not the case. A big reason why dogs grind their butts is that their anal glands have not been cleaned for a long time and need to be cleaned in time. In addition, if the hair near the dog's butt is sticky with very thin feces, it means that the dog may have some problems with its digestion recently and needs to pay attention to it.
