Ear care tip to prevent burs in dogs ears

Summer foxtail and prickly burs cling to dry fur. Apply a light layer of vaseline on the dog's outer ears to prevent embedding in hair and ear canal as a simple preventative measure. This makes removal easier and keeps the ear area comfortable for the dog.

Caring for Wet Fur After Rain

Wet furs require gentle shaking and air drying in a cool room with good air flow. Do not use artificial heat to dry as damage may occur. If rain soaks to the leather, take the coat to an expert furrier.
