1) EYES. These should be clear without any discharge or redness as this could be a sign of infection.

2) EARS. The insides of your dogs ears should be clear with no odour. A Dogs ears should be cleaned regularly to avoid any infection especially dogs with dropped ears such as spaniels.

3) MUZZLE. The nose should be free of discharge.

4) TEETH AND GUMS. Gently lift your dogs lips, the gums should be pink. Teeth should be clean and white with no yellow plaque or tartar and there should not be a bad smell. There are products on the market for keeping teeth clean, but always get your vet to check the teeth if you are concerned,and clean if necessary. Also check for bleeding gums.

5) COAT AND SKIN. The coat should be free from tangles,and shiny looking. There should be no evidence of flaking skin. A good brush will help stimulate the skin.

6) BODY CHECKS. Run your hands through the coat to check for any lumps of wounds. Part the hair to look for signs of fleas or ticks. Check dogs testicles and bitches mammary glands for any unusual swelling.
