Nose wrinkle issues

They both had a nose problem recently, Aramis had a bacteria growing under his fold , it was wet and smelly.

D’Artagnan had some redness and hair gone due to over licking his nose.

I researched a lot and found this great product on a bulldog forum.

Dog with a nose wrinkle  are prone to bacteria.

I bought Douxo Chlorhexidine 3% PS Pads. It is very easy to use. One pad is way too big to use for only 1 dog , so I cut
it in 4th parts.

Quickly brush with a slicker brush , don’t try to remove tangles.Rinse well.
Shampoo the dog with the shampoo of your choice. I use the maintenance line banana for medium coats.(1:5)
Rinse the shampoo.
Now it’s time to apply conditioner to the coat.
Mix 1 part ph balance, 1 part pek conditioner, 1 part k101.
Add water and mix well.
Pour the mixture to the entire coat in the direction of the hair growth.
Rinse well.
Blow dry with a pet dryer on high level so the tangles open and get away from the skin.
Brush the tangles out then the coat and finish drying as usual.

Pink grapefruit mask ( fruit of the groomer line)

This pink grapefruit mask is from fruit of the groomer line, it closes the cuticle to protect it during the cleansing step ( shampoo step). Pink grapefruits suits medium coat.
I mix it 1:3 to water , apply it in the direction the hair grows and let it sits for 5 minutes.
This mask cleans areas in the sebaceous zones
where most toxins enter the skin.
