I ka makahiki hea a me ka manawa hea e ʻauʻau ai ka ʻīlio?

ʻO kēia paha kekahi o nā nīnau mua a ka mea hou. 

ʻO ka makahiki liʻiliʻi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻauʻau i kahi ʻīlio he 3 mahina. ʻAʻole hāʻawi ka mea hānai kuleana i kahi ʻīlio i kahi home hou ma mua o kēia manawa. I nā mahina 3, ua ʻoi aku ka ikaika o ka pale ʻana i ka pēpē, a ʻo ka ʻauʻau ʻana, inā hana pololei, ʻaʻole ia e hōʻeha iā ia.

E ʻauʻau i kāu ʻīlio i ka wā e lepo ai.

I nā lā mua ma hope o ka neʻe ʻana, inā ʻaʻole lepo ka pipi, ʻaʻole pono e holoi. ʻO ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā hiʻohiʻona he pilikia mau, a ʻo ka ʻauʻau ʻana e hōʻino wale ia. Ma mua o ka neʻe ʻana i nā kaʻina hana maʻemaʻe, e kali a hiki i ka hoʻololi ʻana o ka ʻīlio a hoʻomaka e hilinaʻi iā ʻoe.

ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e ʻauʻau i kāu ʻīlio ma hope o kēlā me kēia hele. Akā ʻo ka holoi ʻana i nā wāwae he mea pono ia, no ka mea, e hōʻiliʻili ka lepo, microbes a me kahi reagent ma luna o lākou. No ka hana ʻana i kēia, e hoʻohana i ka wai mahana a i ʻole ka wai me kahi shampoo kūikawā, e pili ana i ka ikaika o ka lepo. Ma hope o ka holoi ʻana, pono e holoi pono ʻia nā wāwae.

Holoi ʻia ka ʻumiʻumi ma hope o ka hele ʻana o nā ʻīlio "bearded".

Aia nā shampoos kūikawā no nā wāwae a me nā ʻumiʻumi. Hiki ke hoʻohana pinepine ʻia, ma hope o kēlā me kēia hele. ʻAʻole e hōʻino nā luna kūlana kiʻekiʻe i ke ʻano o ka ʻili a me ke kapa, akā, ma ke ʻano ʻē, e hoʻomaikaʻi.

• ʻauʻau ʻia nā ʻīlio i ka lepo a inā pono lākou e hāʻawi ʻia i kahi aniani kūikawā, no ka laʻana, ma mua o kahi hōʻike.

• Inā haumia ka ʻīlio ma nā ʻāpana a liʻiliʻi, hiki ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia me ka ʻōhuʻu pulu a i ʻole ka pulupulu.

• Hiki ke holoi ʻia ka lepo mai ka hulu hipa ma hope o ka hele ʻana me kahi lole pulu a i ʻole kahi mitten kūikawā. Pili ia i ka mea i kūpono i ke ʻano ʻaʻahu o kāu ʻīlio.

He nīnau maʻamau ʻaʻohe pane hoʻokahi. ʻEhia mau manawa e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻauʻau i kahi ʻīlio e pili ana i ka ʻano, ke ʻano o ke kapa a me ke kino holoʻokoʻa, a me ke kūlana o ke kaiapuni e noho ai ka holoholona.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole pono kahi ʻīlio kiaʻi e noho ana ma waho o ke kūlanakauhale i loko o kahi hale manu e ʻauʻau i kēlā me kēia pule. Akā, pehea nā ʻīlio kūlanakauhale e noho ana i nā hale noho? 

Ua ʻike anei ʻoe i ka nui o ka lepo e hōʻiliʻili ai ma waho o nā puka makani? I ka hele wāwae ʻana, kau kēia lepo a pau i ka ʻahu o ka ʻīlio. Ke licked, komo ia i ka digestive tract a alakaʻi i nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole. No laila, inā he lepo ka lepo a ʻaʻole kōkua ka palaki ʻana, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻauʻau ʻana i ka holoholona. Manaʻo ʻia e ʻauʻau pinepine i nā ʻīlio lauoho ʻole, no ka mea. ma muli o ka huna ʻana, ua maʻemaʻe ko lākou ʻili.

Ma nā kūlanakauhale nui, ʻōlelo ka poʻe akamai i ka holoi ʻana i kāu ʻīlio ma ka liʻiliʻi hoʻokahi i ka mahina.

I kēia mea, he mea nui e ʻimi i ka waena waena a koho i kahi ala kūpono maoli. ʻO nā shampoos maikaʻi i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka hoʻohana pinepine ʻana ʻaʻole e hōʻeha i kāu ʻīlio inā ʻoe e ʻauʻau iā ia i kēlā me kēia pule. ʻO nā huahana kūpono ʻole, ma kahi ʻē aʻe, e hoʻoulu i ka ʻili maloʻo a me ka hōʻino ʻana o ke kapa ʻoiai ke hoʻohana ʻia i hoʻokahi hapaha. Nou ke koho!

E ʻoluʻolu e kamaʻilio me nā kauka holoholona a me nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe āu e hilinaʻi nei. E kōkua lākou iā ʻoe e ʻike i ke kūpono kūpono.
