Should I clean puppy's paws and bottom after outdoor potty for baby?

Washing in a bucket (or bowl) with mild soap should be just fine. The small amount in a baby wipe would be unlikely to cause any problems, but probably a good idea to wash the feet. Hope this helps and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Hello. You can probably stop the paw wipes now. As Thor's immune system continues to mature, he will be better suited to ward off any possible issues he may pick up with his paws. I would, however, clean up any fecal material in the yard at least a couple of times a week to decrease the chance of contamination. This will really help in the long run.

What a brave girl! Pads sometimes do get abrasions or blisters from running on rocky, hot, or uneven surfaces. It looks like they are doing ok right now, but you do need to keep an eye on them. Put an Collar (cone of shame) on her so that she cannot lick them, and If she becomes more bothered by them, if she's favoring them heavily ("walking on eggshells), or if she starts to seem lethargic or isn't eating, get her in. All of those could be signs of infection. In the meantime, clean them daily with dilute betadine (available at any pharmacy) -- use a small bowl (1-2 cups or so) of water, and add enough betadine so that it looks like tea. If she will tolerate keeping her foot in that for a minute or so, great. If not, just use a gauze pad or cotton ball to clean the wound off with the butadiene solution. Leave them UNBANDAGED at this time, so that you can monitor them closely, and so that moisture doesn't get trapped which could increase the likelihood of infection developing. While I do think they should not be bandaged, DO use booties if you are going to be going for a long walk, etc--ideally, though, avoid exercise on rough, rocky, uneven surfaces until its healed. Take the booties off when she comes inside. (something like this I hope thats helpful for you! Thanks for asking PetCoach!

It depends on your area. I do recommend outside training with dogs that were vaccinated once. Although, still caution people because the puppies are not fully vaccinated. Make sure he does not come into contact with other dogs unless you know the people and their dogs are healthy and up to date on vaccinations. I would also recommend wiping his paws off when he comes in from outside. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

This is a great question! Yes, you should clean up the feces from the yard and dispose of it properly to help reduce spread of parasites. Feces left in the yard can lead to spread of microscopic parasites or parasite eggs that can infect other animals and sometimes people. Make sure you practice proper hygiene and wash your hands after handling feces to help keep yourself and your dogs safe.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Amaura. If you washed it off before she noticed, which I assume means she didn't lick any, she should be just fine. You can wash them again to be safe. I hope this helps!

Hello! Hypoallergenic baby wipes would be unlikely to harm Nico, but do also make sure that they are alcohol-free. Alcohol is not included in most wipes these days, but if it is, it could potentially be drying or sensitizing to the skin. I hope this helps! :)
