Daily Poll 12/26/2010: Do you wipe your bulldog's wrinkles or facial folds everyday?

 

[Gertie's Mom]

I know I need to, especially Ida, so I'm going to make a better effort to do this everyday!

We try to....but I sometimes forget. I've been putting the yeast cream in Vegas's nose roll twice daily and I'm so excited that it no longer gunks up every day. I never even thought that he could have a yeast infection in it. Not until I read my new book........... I finally got something right. My next step is the chin and tear stains. Orion's are horrible. We are so jealous of Stiggy and his beautiful white face. We love looking at his photos with a goal in mind to be as beautiful as him.

I wash Vegas's face daily since half our back yard is sand and he is like a pig snorting the ground when he goes out, occasionally I will forget or let it go a day then the next day when I wash it I get a ton of dirt off his face so I really truly try to do so daily.

Gracie gets hers done on average every other day. I use some pads that are supposed to remove tear stains.

I generally do Maggie's wrinkles every day, but I do occasionally forget or I get home from work so late that I usually just head upstairs, shower and then bed!! Daddy's wrinkles are really not that bad, but I do them every time I do Maggies so that he will be used to me doing it. Of course now we have our Spa facial scrub from secret santa ... blueberry and vanilla ... so I think I'll use that once a week on both of them!!

during the day i just wipe lex's wrinkles with my hand to keep stuff out of them. trying to do it during the day isnt a good idea since he really does like to roll around in the dirt like a little piglet... so we just do a good wipe down before bedtime

I only do Bertie's wrinkles about once every couple of weeks. Sge gets her wrinkles cleaned when I take her to the groomer once a month, and they always say whatever it is I'm doing it is working great! I just wipe her wrinkles if they aer wet and then every other week, I use a stridex pad on her wrinkles and she has not had any problems. She will be a year old on the 16th of January.

[MENTION=572]Libra926[/MENTION] - Stiggy says thank you for the compliment . Unfortunately, his face isn't as white anymore as we haven't been cleaning it as much as we should have. But we're starting doing the regimen daily again and we're seeing great results so far.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeell,

My spoiled rotten 87.7lbs.of pure muscle pedigree out the wazoo, but just our big baby has had issues in the past..........
I don't wipe his wrinkles or clean his ears more than once a week now. However..........diet (allergies) have a lot to do with this. Duke is allergic to plastic dog dishes and to all grain dog foods, I find that Nature's Choice Grain Free Chicken flavor to have worked wonders. I use to have to constantly battle ear infections and wrinkle infections, with major vet bills.Stainless steel food and water dishes and Nature's Grain has cured that.
Now for the other wipey........Duke has a curly flap tail that covers his poop shoot. Soooooooooo, to keep his anal glands from getting impacted, yes I wipe his curly flap poop shoot after every yard muffin contribution with baby wipes. That is what you call truly loving your dog!

 

[Lacey28]

I usually do but sometimes I forget especially right now with everything crazy! Bath day is coming on Weds!

I'm soooo glad we're not the only ones who do the butt wipe. Every. Time. My hubby's gotten presents on his shirt post-potty more than once, so....
And yes, after a big skin infection coupled with food allergies, we are religious face-wipers daily. Hudson immediately "downs" and looks at me like, "do we hafta?" Yup, we hafta!

I check them at least twice every day - Chunk's nose rope is perfect (surprising) - but the wrinkles under his entropion-ridden eye have to be cleaned and panalogged twice a day so he gets the once over. Face wrinkles, paws, tail fold (Chunks tail is amputated so it stays pretty clean but I always check anyway), ears are looked at and cleaned if necessary morning and night. I'm a bit obsessive compulsive about cleaning ... so that works in Chunk's favor too!

 

[Ann Farley Hamilton]

I spend about 20 mins everyday washing wrinkles, tail, pocket and wiping out ears. I use Mack's Glen Haven wipes 3 times a week after i wash his wrinkles and tail pocket as not get an infection. Haven't any trouble in his 4 years this way, so I guess we'll stick to the routine. Blossom is another story, she doesn't have a big nose rope or many wrinkles. She did come to us from rescue with many skin issues, so I to have found with her no plastic bowls of any kind or even SS. She has to have crock dishes, Nature's Variety Instinct no-grain Rabbit food and a bath very 5 days or she she'll rub herself raw from itching. Other then all that she's low maintenance. LOL Oh ya and they both get their butts wiped after every poop. My boys are 27 and 20 so I thought I was threw wiping butts, was I wrong.

we use stridex pads or just a damp washcloth, and then dry the wrinkles.
