Why This Matters
Regular care helps prevent mats, paw discomfort, skin irritation and handling stress while giving you a chance to notice early physical changes.
How To Apply This At Home
- Brush before tangles become tight mats.
- Use pet-safe products and keep bathing calm and predictable.
- Check paws, ears, eyes, coat and skin during normal handling.
What To Watch For
Watch for redness, odor, discharge, flakes, tender areas, lumps, excessive licking, sudden sensitivity or a pet that becomes unusually worried during handling.
When To Get Extra Support
Odor, discharge, redness, pain, lumps or repeated scratching should be checked by a veterinarian.
