If there are signs of inflammation, stop immediately and rest the skin. When performing this styling technique for the first time on any dog, it is advisable to check the skin for the following few days as there can sometimes be a delayed response to the pulling.<\/p>\n
Distilled witch hazel (Hamamelis water) has a general sales license, is safe for use on animals, is available over the counter at most chemists and is a good astringent to help with mild irritation of the skin after plucking. It should not, however, be used if the skin has broken into open sores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
