Cure doggie's dandruff and bad breath

Did you ever pet your dog and discover a waxy film on your hands? Some breeds, such as cocker spaniels, tend to develop a greasy skin. Even worse, that can lead to bacteria growth, which causes an odor.

Something else can happen as well; your dog can have what looks like dandruff. The cures for common cases of these conditions is a shampoo. Try Selsun Blue, the dandruff fighter people use, and it will make a big difference. Wash the dog once a month or more.

How about doggie breath? A dog’s breath will never be sweet, but cleaning his teeth once or twice a month will help. The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine suggests putting gauze or panty hose around your finger. Add toothpaste and rub the sides of the dog’s teeth.
