General cares
Labrador is a dog that needs few cares, a daily brush-up, that will remove the dead hair, with a trail on the hair of a damp cloth, type "fallow deer", that can use also for drying him/it in the pluvius days. To brush, we use brushes with natural bristles that we will pass on the whole dog in the direction of the hair. For the teeth, if we use dry feeding, it won't be necessary to do nothing, if nothing else a control on the pup to see that the change of the milk teething (will be within 6/7 months), has correctly happened and that all the teeth are spontaneously fallen, making space to the definitive dentatura, otherwise it will need to let the veterinarian to intervene. In the adult dog formation of tartar can be had that could bring to gengiviti and to bad breath, to avoid its formation, gives to our dog of the hard bread that rubbing among the teeth, it will hold them clean. The fingernails, those anterior, especially have the tendency to be consumed themselves less and if our dog lives in the apartment, it will need to cut her, using a tronchesino, of which we will make us explain the use, at least the first time, from our veterinarian, to avoid some risk to cut too much her and to make to bleed her. If our dog, will be brought instead out often, the fingernails will naturally consume him rubbing on the asphalt. For the eyes it will be enough to clean them with a cotton wad soaked of boric water or camomile, to the angles, where at times it accumulates a few of mucus. Labrador is a dog subject above all, to otiti. The care of the ear consists in a periodic cleaning using special products that have the function to loose the earwax. Applying a liquid product otologico, it is enough that the dog shakes the head and the excess of earwax he will go out alone; contrarily if we see that the dog is scratched the head, or with the legs he is scratched the ears is opportune a visit at our veterinarian.
