This is a new one for me. Since I started syringe feeding with canned food, no matter how hard I try, Boo has a stcky beard after he has finished eating. Because he gets upset, when I touch his face, it has been a challenge to keep the area around his mouth clean.

Any one have a helpful hint or best practice for addressing this issue?

Hmmm. I’m not sure HOW you would do it without washing his face. I think you just need to be firm but gentle, and then just offer him a delicious treat. (If he’ll take it… I know that’s a problem right now!)

Right now, I have been washing his face with a warm wash cloth, blow drying the area, and gently combing out any remnants. He does express his vocal displeasure but probably, as you observed, cant get around washing the face.

Chris Christensen's "Show Off No Rinse Shampoo" could be helpful. I've used it for quick clean ups.

I like this one the best of the no-rinse shampoos: https://www.amazon.com/Best-Shot-Cl...t+dry+clean+spray+for+dogs,aps,79&sr=8-2&th=1

The one I usually order is from Pure Paws. It's my favorite, but the scent is stronger than C.C. no rinse shampoo.

Yhe scent of the One Shot is not strong, and it makes things just SLIDE off!
