Soak the foot in warm soapy water to soften and loosen the dirt, then brush it away with a soft brush ! Were not talking about scrubbing with a stiff brush and pushing the dirt up under the cuticle ! Any decent dog man, or woman, can look at a dogs nails and spot infection and decide on the treatment, to mock anyone for using a brush is beyond stupidity. Cheers. Totally agree with you, it's just common sense, 1 Quote Link to post

I don’t know why they do it, spaniels have big ears and work brambles , etc, granted our thorn bushes arent like the desert ones , but we don’t crop spaniels ears ! Who knows ? I’ll be going out there again , I’ll try and get more information. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post
