In summer, especially in the dog days, there are still many things that need to be paid attention to in the care of dogs’ skin and hair. How to care for pet dog hair in hot summer, a must-read for poop scrapers!

First of all, when summer arrives, dogs should be gradually exposed to rising temperatures.

Only in this way can the dog’s body know that the weather is hot and we should take off the warm layer of fur. If the air conditioner is turned on early in the dog's living environment and the temperature is moderate, the dog will feel that the weather is not hot yet, so he does not need to "change clothes" for the time being. It is good to wear a thick sweater. Not molting in summer is a very bad thing for dogs, and it will be more troublesome for us to take care of them. The dog's body cannot dissipate heat normally, and heat accumulates. Once it is exposed to hot room temperature, it is easy to suffer from heatstroke. From an appearance point of view, the down has not completely faded, just like wearing a torn leather jacket, which is also a very ugly thing.

Secondly, comb your dog’s hair frequently to avoid tangles.

Dogs like to play everywhere in the summer. When they play more intensely, their hair will easily become tangled due to intense friction. At this time, we need as much help as possible to comb it. If you comb it too late, it may cause hair to fall out, and it may even cause skin infection or even ulceration under the knotted hair. If we don’t want to bother taking care of it, we can cut the dog’s hair short or simply shave it, which will save much trouble.

Once again, dogs need to be bathed more frequently in summer.

In winter, the dog’s metabolism is relatively slow. Taking a bath every two weeks or so can clean the dog’s dander, grease, etc. normally. But in the summer, the dog’s metabolism speeds up, and once every two weeks cannot meet the needs. Therefore, we need to adjust the bathing frequency to once a week. Not bathing for a long time will also make the hair dirty, reduce the quality of the hair, and cause hair loss. There may even be infections of skin bacteria, fungi, etc., which are what we often call skin diseases.

The care of dog skin in summer is more troublesome. I hope everyone will pay more attention to it to avoid treatment if problems arise, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive and is not good for the health of dogs.
