Use a soft bru<\/a>sh or grooming glove to go over his whole body, knocking off any stray dirt. You can even use a towel or rag. Boxer skin is sensitive, so don\u2019t use a stiff brush and don\u2019t press too hard.<\/p>\n

A young dog\u2019s body should be shiny and smooth. While you\u2019re cleaning him, check for any bumps, bare patches, or scrapes. If he\u2019s been roughhousing or ran into a fence or tree, he could have minor cuts. Clean any cuts and apply antibacterial cream the first day. If he has a scar that\u2019s trying to heal, you can help it along with vitamin E oil. Use your finger, a towel, or a cotton swab to dab it directly on the blemish.<\/p>\n

Boxer\u2019s don\u2019t have deep wrinkles like Bulldogs or Pugs, but it\u2019s still important to check his facial wrinkles by running a towel or cotton swab over them. If his nose is dry and crusty, apply a dab of petroleum jelly to soften it. Boxers do shed, but if you groom once a week to remove the dead hair, you will see less of it on the furniture. Boxer coats repel dirt, so it\u2019s not necessary to bathe him often. However, if he\u2019s rubbed himself in some awful odor, as dogs love to do, it\u2019s time for a bath. The easiest place is most likely your own bathtub. In the summer, a bath can be given outdoors. Another possibility is to sponge-bathe him on the grooming table.<\/p>\n

Pet stores are full of dog shampoos, so you have a wide choice, from flea shampoos to oatmeal shampoos to old-fashioned formulas. Pour the shampoo on his back and mix with water to lather and spread all over his body. As soon as he\u2019s out of the tub, he\u2019ll shake his whole body and water drops will fly everywhere. Use a towel to get him dry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
