🐶 DR SCHWENDEMANN’S 3-STEPS TO CLEAN YOUR DOG’S EARS

Dr. Schwendemann demonstrates a simple way to keep your dog’s ears clean and comfortable:

1️⃣ Apply the cleaner
Lift the ear flap and add a veterinarian-approved ear-cleaning solution as directed.

2️⃣ Massage and let them shake
Gently massage the base of the ear to loosen wax and debris. Then step back and let your dog shake their head!

💡 Pro tip: That head shake is part of the cleaning process. The force helps propel loosened debris out of the ear canal.

3️⃣ Wipe away the debris
Use gauze or a cotton ball to clean the visible portion of the ear. Never reach farther than you can easily see.

🚫 Skip the Q-tips. They can push debris deeper into the canal or injure the ear.

Regular ear checks are especially important for dogs with floppy ears, heavy ear hair or a history of ear infections. However, not every dog needs frequent cleaning, and overcleaning can cause irritation. Ask your veterinarian how often your dog’s ears should be cleaned.

If you notice redness, swelling, pain, odor or unusual discharge, schedule an examination before cleaning. These may be signs of an infection that needs treatment.

🐾 A DALMATIAN WITH LIGHT CHOCOLATE SPOTS? YOU’RE SEEING THAT RIGHT.

Those beautiful brown markings are called liver! Some liver Dalmatians have lighter brown spots like this guy, while others sport deep chocolate markings.

The secret is genetics. Liver coloring comes from inheriting a recessive brown gene variant from each parent, causing pigment that would otherwise be black to appear brown.

And beneath those distinctive spots? An athletic, intelligent dog with plenty of personality! Dalmatians were bred to accompany horse drawn carriages, giving them the stamina and enthusiasm that still keep their families moving today.

📋 DALMATIAN SCORECARD

⚡ Energy: 5/5; bring your walking shoes.
🧠 Intelligence: 5/5; keep that brain busy.
🎾 Playfulness: 5/5; ready for another round?
🐾 Shedding: 4/5; little hairs, big commitment.
🤎 Head turning spots: 100/10!

Oh, and one more thing… 👀

This beautiful boy’s brothers are part of the Anheuser-Busch Clydesdale hitch teams.
Apparently, being unforgettable runs in the family. 🐴❤️

NEW PATIENT ALERT: GUS

New patient Gus wasn’t quite sure about Dr. Schwendemann… but wait for that tongue at the end. 😂

A little patience. A little reassurance. And one happy camper.

Dr. Schwendemann is officially GUS APPROVED! ✅

🚨 RARE BREED, RARE COLOR ALERT: FRANNIE IS IN FULL BLOOM! 🌸🐾

Meet Frannie, a beautiful Chinese Shar-Pei with an uncommon brown-on-white spotted coat, often called a flowered Shar-Pei.

The Shar-Pei is an ancient Chinese breed known for its wrinkles, tiny ears, “hippopotamus” muzzle and loyal, independent personality. Its name means “sand skin,” a reference to the breed’s distinctive short coat.

Solid colors are far more common, making Frannie’s flowered pattern an especially rare sight. The AKC lists “spotted on white” as a registration marking, although spotted coats do not meet the breed standard for conformation showing. That does not make Frannie any less fabulous!

🐾 FRANNIE’S SCORECARD

🌸 Rare coloring: 5/5
🐶 Signature wrinkles: 5/5
🧠 Independent spirit: 5/5
💕 Loyal companion: 5/5
📸 Camera confidence: 10/5

Frannie is smooth-coated, beautifully spotted and fully aware that she is a limited edition!

🚨 THAT DRY COUGH MAY BE COMING FROM THE HEART

Take a listen to Snickers. That persistent, dry cough is one of the signs we may hear in dogs with heart disease, especially when coughing becomes worse at night, after activity or while lying down.

However, a cough alone cannot diagnose heart disease. Respiratory infections, collapsing trachea, heartworm disease and other conditions can sound similar. A veterinary examination and diagnostic testing are needed to determine what is really happening.

Other signs of heart disease may include:

🐾 Faster or more difficult breathing
🐾 Decreased energy or exercise tolerance
🐾 Restlessness or difficulty getting comfortable at night
🐾 Weakness, wobbliness or collapse
🐾 Reduced appetite
🐾 A swollen abdomen
🐾 Pale or bluish gums

If heart disease is diagnosed, an individualized treatment plan may include medications to improve heart function, reduce fluid buildup, control blood pressure or manage an abnormal rhythm.

Maintaining a healthy weight, providing veterinarian-approved activity, monitoring sleeping respiratory rate and giving every medication exactly as prescribed can also help keep a dog comfortable.

Heart disease cannot always be cured, but early detection and proper treatment can often improve quality of life and may slow its progression.

A cough is not “just a cough” until we know what is causing it. If your dog has developed a new or persistent cough, schedule an examination.

This tiny snowball tank is Max, a West Highland White Terrier with excellent manners, impressive self-control and absolutely no interest in extending his visit.

No barking.
No growling.
No trembling.
No dramatic escape attempt.

Max simply turned his back to the veterinarian, fixed his eyes firmly on the doorknob and politely communicated:

“Thank you for your time. I believe we are finished here.”

Of course, he was still willing to perform one final trick for a treat before leaving. Clever boy. Max may have been emotionally checked out, but he was not about to leave snacks on the table.

🐾 WESTIE BREED SCORECARD

Personality: 10/10
Confident, curious and full of terrier charm.

Intelligence: 9/10
Quick learners, especially when treats are involved.

Energy Level: 8/10
Small body; surprisingly large supply of enthusiasm.

Affection: 8/10
Loving and loyal, though often on their own terms.

Independence: 10/10
Westies were bred to think and work independently, and Max clearly had already made his decision.

Grooming Needs: 7/10
Their bright white double coat requires routine brushing and regular grooming to stay healthy and comfortable.

West Highland White Terriers are known for being sturdy, alert and spirited companions. Like all breeds, each Westie has an individual personality, but confidence, cleverness and determination are common traits.

Max demonstrated all three without making a single scene.

Final appointment score:
Medical cooperation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Treat performance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Willingness to stay one minute longer: ⭐
