Caring for Wrinkly Dogs<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Some of the most popular breeds of dogs today are breeds with wrinkles — cute little Pugs, stout Bulldogs, Shar Peis, and many of the Mastiff or Molusser breeds. <\/span> These breeds may have wrinkles only on their faces or they may have wrinkly skin all over their bodies. <\/span> In either case, their owners may have fallen in love with them before realizing that it takes some extra effort to care for a dog with wrinkly skin. <\/span> Without special care these dogs can develop serious skin problems. <\/span> But if you\u2019re willing to give your dog\u2019s wrinkles some regular maintenance you can prevent these skin problems from occurring.<\/p>\n

\n

Wrinkles are beautiful<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have a dog with facial wrinkles, such as Pugs, you should use a very gentle wipe to clean their wrinkles on a daily basis. <\/span> If you begin wiping your dog\u2019s wrinkles when he\u2019s a puppy he should have no problem with this daily regimen. <\/span> He will probably enjoy the attention. <\/span> If you have acquired an adult dog with a wrinkled face, you may have to help him get used to the idea. <\/span> Clean your dog\u2019s wrinkles slowly, give your dog lots of treats, and you can help him adapt to having his wrinkles cleaned.<\/p>\n

\n

Pre-Moistened pads are very good to use to clean your dog’s wrinkles. <\/span> They’re alcohol-free and safe to use on even the youngest puppy. <\/span> Try Eye Pads<\/a> , they don’t contain any pharmaceuticals or chemicals. <\/span> You can rub Eye Pads with and against the grain of your dog’s fur to thoroughly clean inside the folds of his wrinkles \u2013 but always rub very gently. <\/span> You don’t want to irritate your dog’s skin. <\/span> Eye Pads contain all-natural colloidal silver that helps prevent the growth of bacteria.<\/p>\n

\n

More wrinkles!<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Some breeds, such as Shar Pei and the Mastiff breeds, have wrinkles all over. <\/span> Their wrinkles need to be wiped all over their bodies. <\/span> When wiping these dogs you should pay special attention to anyplace where your dog may seem to be itchy. <\/span> This can be a sign that there is dirt collecting in the folds of the wrinkles. <\/span> This can lead to irritation and even an infection if you don\u2019t clean your dog frequently. <\/span> This is one of the reasons that dogs with wrinkly skin can have skin problems.<\/p>\n

\n

In addition to this daily wrinkle care you should take special care to bathe your wrinkly dog at least once a month with a gentle shampoo to soothe any irritated skin. <\/span> Shampoos with colloidal oatmeal are especially good for dogs with wrinkly skin and for skin irritations such as itchy and dry skin. <\/span> Comfy Dog<\/a> Oatmeal Shampoo is a good choice for dogs with wrinkly skin and skin irritations.<\/p>\n

\n

You\u2019ll need to gently — very gently — scrub between all of your dog\u2019s wrinkles during each bath. <\/span> Make sure that you rinse your dog completely, too. <\/span> Rinsing your dog is perhaps even more important that the bath itself since any shampoo residue left behind can cause skin irritations, especially between your dog\u2019s wrinkles. <\/span> Dogs with wrinkles are particularly prone to itching and rashes so be very careful to rinse away all traces of shampoo. <\/span> If you use a conditioner make sure that you use an all-natural conditioner that will soothe your dog\u2019s skin.<\/p>\n

\n

There\u2019s no need to blow dry a wrinkled dog. <\/span> They tend to already have dry skin and blow drying them will likely dry out the top layer of skin and may leave moisture in the folds of their skin. <\/span> Simply towel dry a wrinkly dog and let him air dry.<\/p>\n

\n

See what the vet thinks<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

All dogs should see the vet at least once a year. <\/span> Your wrinkly dog is no exception. <\/span> When you take your wrinkly dog to the vet, ask your vet to pay special attention to your dog\u2019s skin. <\/span> Make sure that he or she checks the folds of your dog\u2019s wrinkles and looks for any skin irritations or other problems. <\/span> Whether your dog has face wrinkles or wrinkles all over his body, see that your vet gives your dog\u2019s skin a thorough going over. <\/span> If your vet finds any skin problems he or she will probably prescribe a topical spray or cream to help the symptoms.<\/p>\n

\n

Wrinkly dogs are all beautiful in their own unique ways. <\/span> If you have a wrinkly dog take extra special care of his skin and your dog\u2019s wrinkles shouldn\u2019t give you any trouble at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
