Regular bathing of dogs is an important part of dog breeding and management. Appropriate bathing not only keeps the dog clean, hygienic and beautiful, but also improves the dog's health. The puppy's bathing starts after birth for more than two weeks after vaccination. Dogs raised outdoors should be washed 3 to 4 times a year, while dogs raised indoors should be washed once every 20 days to once a month. Below I will introduce the precautions and techniques for bathing a dog:

1. Essential tools for helping your dog bathe

1. Careful selection of shower gels

Never use human shower gels to help your dog bathe because of saving or laziness. The dog's pH value is worse than that of humans and there are flea problems. If you use human shower gel for a long time, it may cause redness, swollenness and even hair loss.

2. Towels and hair dryers

Dogs are not as warm as people who can keep their feelings appropriately and know their physical condition. Therefore, if the owner does not help the dog dry or blow dry after taking a shower, it will easily cause them to catch a cold, and dogs with longer hair will be prone to eczema or skin diseases.

3. When helping your dog bath, you must prepare a bathtub. The suitable size is about half the height of the dog. If the dog is smaller, you can also use a sink or a bathtub. In addition, remember to place a towel or anti-slip pad under the bathtub to prevent the dog from falling during bathing.

2. Pay attention to the dog when taking a bath.

1. Choose warm days. In addition to helping the dog bath, you should also choose warm days. Before taking a bath, prepare the work well and make the battle quickly. The water temperature should not be too cold or too hot to make the dog uncomfortable. The water temperature is about 36 to 38 degrees.

2. Avoid water pouring on the head

Dogs don't like water pouring on the head. It is recommended to rinse up slowly from their feet when flushing, and do not face their eyes. You can block the water column with your hands and press down the dog's nose to avoid water intake. In addition, you should also pay attention to places such as armpits and abdomen that are easy to ignore.

3. Comb open the knotted hair

Before helping the dog take a bath, it is recommended that the owner use a comb to help the dog comb all the hair. This action can also remove the small dust and dirt in the hair or clean the fallen hair, but remember to hold the hair roots in one hand to avoid pain in the dog.

3. Under what circumstances can't be taken?

1. Pregnant and breastfeeding dogs have severe hair loss, so they must take a bath before delivery, otherwise it will be inconvenience to take a bath during confinement. In addition, it is best for the owner to repair the hair around the dog's buttocks before delivery, so as to facilitate the tidying of the delivery and postpartum to avoid blood.

2. After the vaccine, dogs who have just been vaccinated should try to avoid taking a bath within a week. If possible, try not to let them go out or do some outdoor activities, because the dog's resistance is very poor at this time. Bathing is not good for the dog. If it is really dirty, you can also use dry cleaning powder!

3. After exercise or full

The dog who has just been full will take a bath directly. The skin blood vessels will expand and the blood flow to the stomach will be insufficient, which will cause indigestion, insufficient blood sugar, and the possibility of fainting; in addition, the blood of the dog who has just been exercised is still in the muscles of the limbs, and taking a bath will cause insufficient blood in the heart and brain.
