Brush your pet regularly to remove loose hair, dirt, and tangles. The frequency of brushing will depend on your pet's coat type.
Give your pet a bath as needed, using a pet-specific shampoo and conditioner. Avoid using human shampoos, as they can dry out your pet's skin.
Trim your pet's nails regularly, taking care not to cut into the quick (the part of the nail with blood vessels). If you're unsure how to trim your pet's nails, ask your veterinarian or a professional groomer for help.
Clean your pet's ears regularly, using a pet-specific ear cleaner and cotton balls or pads. Avoid using Q-tips, as they can push debris further into the ear canal.
Brush your pet's teeth regularly, using a pet-specific toothbrush and toothpaste. You can also offer dental chews or toys to help keep their teeth clean.
