How Can I Prevent Diaper Rash on my Dog?
Q: My dog has what the vet called a "diaper rash" near her groin from too much hair staying wet after urinating. Is there a way to prevent this? Is it really from too much hair?
A: Urine can be irritating to your pets' skin, especially if there is a lot of hair. If you take your dog to the groomer have them shave the area near her vulva very short. Remember not to cut hair with scissors at home! When the hair is short it is easier to keep that area clean. Baby wipes can be a big help for this too!
