#19 You don’t need to be a cynological guru to understand: Long-haired Caucasian Shepherds require more careful care than their short-haired brethren.
The soft hair of shaggy individuals gets tangled, and in winter it absorbs snow moisture, so long-haired wolfhounds are periodically combed and trimmed (the hair on the legs and paws is shortened). Sheepdogs are washed as needed, for example, when the animal gets dirty in the mud or has got blood-sucking "tenants". At the same time, it is better not to deny dogs swimming in open reservoirs, especially since they are wonderful swimmers.
#20 In the spring and summer, “Caucasians” suffer from ear mites, so the ear funnels should be examined and cleaned more often during the warm season.
If the animal shakes its head and scratches its ears, see your veterinarian who will understand the problem. Perhaps, it is not ticked that are to blame, but otitis media.
The eyes of the Caucasian Shepherd Dogs are problem-free, but in some individuals, there is a congenital pathology in the form of a loose eye eyelid. As a result: an infection from the outside gets into the eyes, causing inflammation. You can deal with the problem with a decoction of chamomile or veterinary drops.
#21 “Caucasians” love to gnaw bones at their leisure, or even wooden boards, the remains of which get stuck between their teeth.
So buy tweezers in advance to free your pet's jaws from food and wood debris. To remove plaque, which periodically appears in every dog, you can use a special brush and veterinary paste.
