How to clean my dog's ears, teeth, trim nails, brush fur, and bathe?

All good questions!. Dog's ears are shaped a little bit differently than people's ears. You don't have to be very scared of damaging the ear drums because the canals are L-shaped. As long and you go straight in and do not try and bend a q-tip in a 90 degree angle, there should be very little chance for damage. A cleansing formulation should be available at most pet stores.

If you do not use a heartworm preventative, consider using something like Interceptor Plus, which will deworm your pet every month for all the common intestinal parasites.
