5. After walk or after play clean-up

Pets, especially dogs, pick infections like skin and even stomach infections during the walks or while playing outside in mud or grass. Dogs tend to lick the mud from paws after a play session or walk. That’s how they catch stomach infections. These days most of the apartment lawns are treated with STP which may cause bacterial infections to your dogs as they rub and roll in the grass. So, after the walk or play sessions, one should clean the paws and coat with wet wipes or some cloth suitable for the fur of the pet.
