Parents should prepare relevant bathing tools. For example, bathtub, hair dryer, towel, comb, shower gel, etc. Before taking a bath, you should communicate and interact with the Border Collie to help it relax its nervous and repulsive mood. At the same time, you need to comb its hair. So what preparations should be made before bathing? What should I use to bathe the Border Collie? The editor will answer it for you.

What should Border Collies use to bathe?

1. Detergent

Apply shampoo on the back, rub from the back to the buttocks, rub the whole body to make foam, and finally wash the Border Collie's head, ears, soles, chin, and around the anus. Be careful to avoid washing the foam into your Border Collie’s eyes. While scrubbing gently, hold the collar of your Border Collie with one hand to prevent your dog from jumping out or getting water everywhere.

2. Shower gel

Wet the Border Collie's body with water, then apply shower gel, and gently rub the Border Collie's body with both hands to clean the dirt and dust on the hair. Parents should rub slowly and gently, and they should be careful during the rubbing process, especially when cleaning the limbs, abdomen, and buttocks.

3. Dry cleaning powder

If accidentally inhaled into the lungs, it is extremely easy to cause foreign body pneumonia. Some dogs are also allergic to dry cleaning powder! In fact, washing with water is very harmful to the skin, but you should not wash it too frequently, because dogs have a protective dander film on their bodies. , the standard is to wash it once every seven to ten days. Washing it too frequently can easily damage the skin and cause necrosis of the skin. If it is not washed for too long, it can easily accumulate dirt, so I suggest you wash it with water to remove the odor.
