Even adult dogs can be quite bad in maintaining their hygiene, and tiny puppies completely rely on their owners.

To keep your puppy healthy and happy, you should maintain a good level of hygiene, and you should do it regularly.

Here are a few things that you should do to keep your pet clean.

Regular Baths

Like giving your puppy a spa day! Use a mild puppy shampoo and make sure the water is warm, not too hot or too cold. 

Gently lather and rinse, making sure to get rid of all the soap.

Brushing Fur

Think of it as giving your puppy a gentle massage. Regularly brush their fur to remove loose hair and prevent tangles. 

It's like keeping their coat smooth and shiny.

Cleaning Ears

Imagine cleaning your ears with a soft towel. Gently wipe your puppy's ears with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. 

Be careful not to go too deep—it's like cleaning the outside, not the inside.

Trimming Nails

Picture getting a little manicure. Trim your puppy's nails with special pet clippers. 

Be cautious not to cut too close to the quick—it's like giving them a neat and tidy pedicure.

Dental Care

Think of it as brushing your own teeth. Use a soft puppy toothbrush and toothpaste to clean your puppy's teeth. 

It helps keep their breath fresh and prevents dental issues.

Eye Cleaning

Imagine wiping away a little tear. Gently wipe the corners of your puppy's eyes with a clean, damp cloth to remove any discharge. 

It's like keeping their eyes bright and clear.

Tick and Flea Prevention

Picture putting on bug repellent before going outside. Use vet-approved tick and flea prevention methods to keep these pesky bugs away. 

It's like giving your puppy a bug-free adventure.

Potty Training

Imagine using the bathroom when you need to go. Train your puppy to go potty in designated areas. 

It's like teaching them good bathroom manners and keeping their living space clean.
