Dr. Candy Olson: Hi! I am Dr. Candy Olson. I own the Greenbriar Animal Hospital and I've been a veterinarian for almost 30 years. I've owned this hospital here for about 15 years. It's a marvelous job, hadn't anything better. But we're making a video here with a whole bunch of tips on home care for your dog and one of the things that we wanted to cover is safety issues here because not all dogs are amendable to all of these things that we're going to show how to do. You want to be careful and make sure that your dog is okay with this and that there is not going to be any problems. Not even us pros can do all of these things with every dog.
Things to watch out for are, is your dog trying to pull away and to get away, then step back a little bit and I think can we do this a little bit more slowly. Watch and see if you are doing something with the front half of the dog, watch their eyes so their pupils get kind of dilated that means they are scared and they may snap. If you push your dog to the point where it's growling or snapping at you, you've gone way too far; back off a little bit. Always be careful with this stuff and go slowly until you are sure that your dog is comfortable with it and you're comfortable with it and you'll be able to do it.
This is Oriel she is going to be helping us with some of our dog care topics here and we have some supplies and noted that you need things for each little segment that we will be going over those as well. But what we're going to cover in the next little bit is how to do an at home exam for your dog, and when and why you would want to?
So, we'll get to that.
