How’s your dog’s health? This simple question can be tough to answer, because your pup can’t tell you how he’s feeling. If your dog is limping or visibly injured, you know he needs care.
But what about the subtle signs she needs your help? Like the extra little shake she gives her head before digging into her dinner… the way her coat feels dryer than before… and oh, that doggy breath!
To help you understand what these things mean and so much more, the experts at Whole Dog Journal created a new online course—Dog Care and Grooming at Home.
This fun, interactive course teaches you everything from basic grooming tips like the right way to brush your dog’s fur to trimming her nails to brushing her teeth that can help you spot small problems before they become serious and can go a long way to keeping your dog in top shape.
Discover how to keep your dog healthy and happy by watching the Dog Care and Grooming at Home course whenever it’s convenient for you from your smartphone, laptop, tablet, or desktop computer. You’ll learn the best way to:
trim nails
clean ears
brush your pup’s teeth
andmore home-care tips and techniques!
Discover the best ways to care for your pup’s eyes, ears, paws and pads, skin and coat, teeth and gums and more. You’ll learn:

What it means if your dog has “goopy” eyes

You’ll learn a dog’s mouth is NOT cleaner than a human’s—in fact, they may be worse off than ours. We’ll explain why some dogs seem to shed more in the fall—when it seems like colder weather should make him keep his coat. The reason it is so important to trim your dog’s nails (they actually walk on their toes). And, we’ll tell you why it seems like poodles never shed. (They actually do—there’s no such thing as a dog that doesn’t shed!) And did you know a shiny, lustrous coat is the sign of a healthy dog—but if your dog’s fur is dry and brittle it may signal a problem with her diet.
You’ll find out which breeds of dogs are most prone to ear infections and why any sign of ear trouble means a trip to the vet. You’ll get home remedies that can help treat sore paws… Common reasons your dog’s eyes may look cloudy… The difference between cataracts and nuclear sclerosis – a cloudy-eye problem that doesn’t affect your dog’s vision. How to tell if your pup is having trouble seeing at night… and so much more.
You’ll even get the foolproof way to de-skunk your dog developed by a chemist. Forget about tomato juice! The first thing you should do is avoid the temptation to immediately shampoo your dog. Instead, get plenty of baking soda and this liquid (no, it’s not vinegar) to neutralize the odor and clean your dog.
We walk you step by step through the process and also give you the tips as a sheet you can print out just in case…
Proper grooming is one of the best “treats” you can give your dog. After all, your dog trusts and relies on you to know what’s best for him. This fun, interactive course will help you give your pup the very best care.
