Facial Hair

Did you know that dogs have facial hair.  I mean a lot of it.  But, what you might not notice is the fact that right up on their upper lip sometimes dogs have long strands of facial hair that they lick that area of their mouth and pull all that hair right into the mouth.  When this happens it wraps around the teeth and may cause the teeth to rot out sooner as well as may even cause choking depending on how long the hair is.  If your pet has this use some thinning shears very carefully trim this hair regularly.  I recently have seen a stream of these types of situations at the groom shop and I trim them down pretty good.  If there is red tint on the hair that means the hair is staying moist.
