Tail pockets
Submitted by Angela and PollyAnna on October 29, 2012 - 11:40amWhat is the best way that you have found in cleaning tail pockets? Olive has a very deep pocket and I clean it weekly with a puppy wipe. I also put gold bond powder in the deep creases.. The little tail folds get dirty quick.
Farley has a super deep one too.
Usually I take him outside if it's nice or in the tub and put on some gloves, use a cortizone shampoo and really scrub out his pocket with my finger once a week, get the gold bond in there and it stays pretty clean. I found wiping him out really did nothing for the "gunk" build- up.
I have one that her tail
I have one that her tail removed due to chronic infections. My other girl has tail pocket issues but they are easier to take care of. I have found (after much experimentation) that peroxide works the best for her. I use a warm wash cloth dipped in peroxide!
