help with cleaning wrinkles

Question
Bumpkin, our eight-week old bulldog pup, is a little treasure. For the most part, he is loving and playful, but he is still learning about what he can and cannot bite. We know that we need to keep his wrinkles clean, but we can't seem to keep him from biting the baby wipe or even our hands while we are doing it. We've tried distracting him with toys or nylabones, but no luck. Any suggestions?

Answer
Relax. You don't need to clean wrinkles every day. Choose a time when he's pooped or even sleeping to do it.

You can put a little vaseline in his wrinkles which will make the chore quicker for you. Cleaning too often will irritate the creases especially in a puppy.
