It helps tremendously to have a removable shower head, which can be detached, brought down to the puppy's level, and manipulated to spray in the desired direction. Use a shampoo specifically designed for puppies, so that if it does get in their eyes it will not cause discomfort. Later, when your puppy is trained to be bathed without fuss, you can switch to regular shampoo or flea shampoo. A cream rinse , used according to directions, can be used after the shampoo to make comb out of longhaired puppies easier. Obtain some expert information about what is best for your particular puppy.
Ears are a common haven for ticks, mites, and infections.
Frequent care is required for puppies with hanging ears. Your puppy's ears should be clean, pink and odor-free. If you see normal surface dirt, you can clean them by wiping them out gently with a moistened cotton ball. Be very gentle, wiping out only what you can visibly see. Don't go deep into the ear canal.
