#10 To make life easier for yourself in the future, educate your puppy about hygiene as a necessity that is inevitable.
Remember, the East European Shepherd is not a Pomeranian that can be immobilized with one hand. And if a pet resists hygienic procedures from an early age, then when the animal grows up and builds up muscle mass, it will be impossible to "persuade" him. The rest of the breed is considered unpretentious and does not require professional care. For example, daily brushing of the East European Shepherd will be required twice a year, during the molting season.
#11 In the intervals between these periods, dead hairs are removed once or twice a week with a brush or rubber mitten.
It is recommended to wash the East European Shepherd Dog twice a month if the animal does not run in puddles. In the summer, you can limit yourself to swimming in the open water, which the breed is madly in love with.
#12 It is better to examine the dog’s ears regularly, but it is not worth fighting for the complete “sterility” of the ear canal.
Remove brown plaque with tissues and veterinary lotions only when there is really a lot of it. Remember, frequent “diving” with cotton swabs into the ear funnel provokes serum production, which makes the ear look even more untidy. By the way, it is better not to stroke the head of the East European Shepherd Dogs until one year old. The ear sheet of the breed is heavy, slowly and difficult to "get up", so any careless touch to it can cause an incorrect cartilage position.
