When it comes to bathing, dogs have a love-hate relationship. They like to play in water but don’t want to be squeezed under the foam of shower gel. Some dogs are also very afraid of water, so naturally they don’t like bathing. Avoid bathing.

How to bathe a dog correctly?

1. Preparation before bathing the dog

1. Be sure to comb the dog's entire body to clean all the hair loss and hair knots.

2. Check the water temperature with your hands before putting it in. The water temperature should not be too cold or too hot, otherwise it will frighten the dog and make it afraid of taking a bath. For dogs, the suitable water temperature is a little higher than what humans can adapt to.

2. The order of cleaning the dog when taking a bath

1. Clean the dog’s face. When washing the face, you should first hold up its chin so that the face faces up to prevent water from entering its nasal cavity; when cleaning around the eyes, gently rub the areas around the eyes with your fingertips to prevent bath liquid from flowing into the eyes; clean around the dog's mouth When using it, you should clamp your mouth with both hands and rub the dirt clean.

2. Wash all parts of the body along the direction of hair growth. When washing the hair on the chest and abdomen, be careful to rinse carefully from the root to the tip. Especially the armpits and tail where hair is very dense should be washed carefully.

3. Clean your dog’s feet. Pay attention to cleaning every detail one by one.

3. What should you pay attention to when bathing your dog?

First of all, we must grasp the correct bathing time.

Parents must not bathe their puppies before they are vaccinated. Normally, you give it a bath for the first time around four months. If you feel that your dog is dirty in the previous time and you really can’t help it anymore, you can wipe it with a hot towel and then blow dry it quickly.

In addition, the cycle of bathing your dog must not be shorter than ten days. Bathing too frequently can easily cause skin damage to your dog. And after taking a bath, be sure to give the dog something delicious to eat, either as comfort or as a reward. This will help him further understand that taking a bath is the right thing to do.

4. Finishing work after cleaning the dog

1. Wring out the water quickly. After bathing your dog, you will find that there is a lot of water on the dog's hair. At this time, you need to wring out the water before using a towel to wipe it. Wring out as much hair as you can hold with your hands until no water drops drip. Be careful not to pull hard. After wringing out, quickly pick up the dog with a towel.

2. Wiping sequence. You should start wiping from the face. If the water flows into the eyes or ears, it will cause a lot of trouble; then dry the abdomen and back, wrap the dog with a towel, and put it on its own.On your lap or on the table, let it lie down with its face facing you, hold its front legs and wipe its abdomen first, then turn it around and wipe its back.

3. Blow dry using a hair dryer. Start blowing from large areas such as the abdomen and back. Use a dog brush to comb and change the angle to dry all parts. Also be careful to keep a distance between the hair dryer and the dog. During the blow-drying process, you should constantly test the temperature of the wind with your hands to avoid excessive temperature burning the dog's skin.

5. Why can’t dogs take baths as frequently as humans?

1. Bathing your dog every day will make your dog’s hair dry. Taking too many baths will cause hair loss.

2. The dog's skin is relatively thin, and if washed frequently, it will become dry, peeling, and itchy. It is not good for the dog’s skin and may even wash away the protective film of the dog’s skin, making the dog susceptible to skin diseases.

6. If you have to take a bath, pay more attention to the method

Dogs should not be bathed too much, just once every 2 weeks. Bathing too much will destroy the dog's coat and the oil film on the skin, which may lead to dryness of the coat. For dogs that like to swim, they must be washed after each time they enter the water. This is because it is difficult for the owner to ensure that the dog's wading area is clean. Even if the dog is swimming in completely clean waters, it must be dried after landing. The owner can also learn from Zhengfang's method of "big wind blowing" and use it every once in a while. Just wash it off with bath soap. Normally, you don’t need bath soap. Just rinse with water and blow dry.

Therefore, frequent bathing is not good for dogs, and owners should pay attention to the frequency of bathing their dogs! Only in this way can the dog's health be properly guarded.
