By clicking on the huge question mark next to your puppy's name you bring up a Status Screen which
gives you some vital information, so pay attention!

Here's what the Japanese letters say, starting at the top and then proceeding downwards, left to right:

Name / Gender
Breed
飼主 Owner
ふれあった時間 Touch Time
毛なみ Fur
おなか Hunger
のど Thirst
食べたもの Eaten Food
芸リストをみる      大会の成績をみる
See Trick List           See Competition Results

As you will already have noticed, it doesn't have any bars - it's all letters, which means that in order for you to
tell whether your puppy is hungry or thirsty and needs to take a bath or not, you'll have to learn some basic
Japanese, or look here:. :)

Possible Fur status:
とてもきれい Very Beautiful
きれい  Beautiful
ふつう  Fine
よごれている Dirty

カラカラ Parched

Bottom right: Competition Results (puppy-specific):

HINT #1:
To keep your puppy's fur clean - bathe it! :) Buy a bottle of shampoo at a Goods shop (Chapter 6: Going out
and Chapter 7: Your Neighbourhood) and make sure it's the right one (depending on whether your puppy has
long or short fur, see above).

You'll now find the bottle in your Inventory - Caretaking (Chapter 5: Inventory).
Tap on it and then tap the left green button in order to answer "Yes" to the question "Would you like to take
a bath with <YOUR PUPPY'S NAME HERE>?"
Now lather your puppy up real good by using the stylus:

(be careful when washing his behind) and when it's all covered up - tap the showerhead in the top right corner
of your touch-screen (it should be flashing when it’s ready to be used). Use this to rinse the fur, keeping away
from the face, until all the lather is gone:

The dog's body will sparkle, if not, then you're using the wrong shampoo:

You could also get a brush and brush your puppy right after giving him/her a bath.

Bathing your dog will also keep fleas away (yep, your puppy can get these).

Note: When giving a bath you do not need to use several shampoo bottles in order to get from "Dirty" to
"Beautiful fur", for example.
Instead, just lather your puppy's fur up real good, rinse it, and repeat!
Eventually you will reach "Very Beautiful" (that's when your puppy's fur begins to sparkle for a short while)
and because the fur can't get any cleaner than that - the whole bathing thing will come to an end.

Another way to tell when the fur turns "Very Beautiful" while bathing your puppy, is that the showerhead will
start moving and give away a sound while lathering your pup. This indicates that now's the time to grab the
shower-head and start rinsing your puppy's fur - because it can't get any cleaner than this.

HINT #2:
Always bathe your puppy before taking it to the Dog Contest (Chapter 9: Competitions)!
