Home Page Health Information Health Information - Dogs Health Information - Dogs Claws If your dogs claws are not kept short they can grow too long and cause pain and discomfort, therefore you should check them regularly and clipped if necessary. This also applies to dew claws. In some cases if dew claws are left to grow they can eventually grow into the skin and cause pain/discomfort. Coat It is important to check the health of your dogs coat regularly for any signs of fleas, mites or ticks. Dogs with longer coats should be groomed regularly to prevent the fur becoming matted and to help keep the general condition of the coat healthy and easier to spot abnormalities with the coat or skin i.e. rashes, ticks etc.   Ear Problems Regular checking of the ears is important as ear infections can be painful for your dog. Signs of ear infections include, bad smell coming from the ears, build up of ear wax, redness around the ear, scratching of the ears, shaking of the head or general discomfort when ears are touched. Regular ear cleaning will help prevent the build up of wax and will help reduce the risk of ear infections. It is also very common for dogs to get grass seeds stuck down their ear canal. Signs could include extreme shaking of the head, tilting head to one side. Fleas Fleas are parasites that can live on the surface of your dogs skin which can cause excessive scratching. Regular flea treatment should help prevent the risk of fleas. Heat Stroke Heat Stroke is extremely serious and can kill! Signs like excessive panting, vomiting, diarrhea, collapsing, fitting, may be signs of heat stroke if your dog(s) have been in the sun for too long. Also be aware that vehicles are very hot inside at this time of year, so please think again about taking your dog(s) in your vehicle. (Never leave your dog(s) in a vehicle either without proper ventilation). Kennel Cough info for kennel cough coming soon. We are still researching this condition.
