A pet owner who owns a dog knows that bathing a dog is a difficult task. Most dogs don't like bathing, but it's impossible not to bathe. What's more, giving your dog a bath is one of the best ways to increase your intimacy with each other. You don’t need to bathe your dog too often, usually once a week, or once every 10 days and a half month. There are still some precautions that are very important to bathing the dog, and pet owners must understand it.
First of all, be sure to comb the fur before taking a bath. On the one hand, it can comb the tangled hairs to prevent the tangles from becoming more serious, and it can also remove large pieces of dirt. Remove for easy cleaning. Especially around the mouth, behind the ears, under the armpit, inside the thigh, toe tips, etc., the parts that dogs are most reluctant to groom should be cleaned. Another aspect is to check the dog for any skin disease or trauma. In order to reduce and avoid the dog's pain when grooming, the pet owner can hold the root of the hair with one hand and brush with the other hand.
Secondly, the temperature of the bath water should not be too high or too low, generally 36-37 degrees in spring. First let the dog get used to the water temperature, then from the feet, the body to the head, wet the whole body.
Also, be careful when taking a bath, the dog's ears get into the water and the sudden sound of water may frighten the dog. When flushing, do not allow soap or shampoo to remain on the dog, to prevent irritation of the skin and cause dermatitis.
Bathing your dog should be done in the morning or noon, not when the air is humid or rainy. Dry with a hair dryer or towel immediately after washing. Do not dry your dog in the sun after bathing.
