In Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan season 4 episode 21, titled "Bad Hair Day," Cesar Millan takes on the challenge of helping dogs that are struggling with grooming and hygiene issues.
The episode begins with Cesar meeting a couple who have a hard time grooming their dog. The couple's dog, a Havanese named Leia, hates being brushed and groomed. Cesar observes that Leia's teeth are in bad condition, and that her owners have never brushed them. He advises the couple to make grooming a part of their everyday routine, and to take Leia to the vet to have her teeth checked.
Next, Cesar works with a pair of bulldogs named Butch and Sundance, who have a severe case of skin conditions. Their owner, Ben, has tried every remedy he can think of, but nothing seems to work. Cesar observes that Ben has been feeding his dogs a diet that is high in grains and low in protein, which may be contributing to their skin issues. Cesar advises Ben to switch to a high-protein diet, and to add fatty acids and a probiotic to the dogs' food.
In another segment, Cesar meets a dog owner named Bridget, whose dog, a miniature schnauzer named Bley, is constantly scratching and biting his paws.

Finally, Cesar helps a dog owner named Bobby, whose dog, a chihuahua named Suzy, has a matted coat that is causing her skin irritation. Cesar observes that Bobby has been washing Suzy with human shampoo, which is not suitable for dogs and can be harmful to their skin. He advises Bobby to switch to a dog-specific shampoo and to brush Suzy's coat regularly to prevent matting.
