So some parents who have just raised Akita puppies may have questions like "How many months can Akita puppies be bathed?" and "What should I pay attention to when bathing Akita puppies?". Don’t worry, the editor will answer these questions for you below.

How many months until Akita puppies can take a bath?

Generally speaking, the whole body of a newborn puppy cannot be washed, but if the dog's body is very dirty, you can wipe it with a towel, but you must not bathe it easily. If you want to bathe your puppy, strictly speaking, you have to wait until the puppy has been successfully vaccinated and passed the vaccine test period before you can try to bathe her. Under normal circumstances, puppies should be vaccinated one week after normal weaning. After the observation period is usually about one week, you can start bathing the puppies. However, pet experts generally recommend that dogs should be bathed after three months, and that vaccination and deworming should be completed before going out. If you are very concerned about the health of your dog, you can follow this!

What should you pay attention to when bathing your Akita dog?

1. Be sure to comb the coat before taking a bath. This can comb out the tangled hair and prevent the coat from becoming more tangled. Especially the parts of the Akita dog that are least willing to be combed must be combed clean. When combing, in order to reduce and avoid the pain of Akita dogs, you can hold the root of the hair with one hand and comb it with the other hand.

2. The temperature of the bathing water should not be too high or too low. Generally, the temperature is around 36 degrees in spring and summer, and around 37 degrees in autumn and winter.

3. When taking a bath, be sure to prevent the bath liquid from flowing into the eyes and ears of the Akita dog.

4. When flushing, be sure to rinse thoroughly and do not let the foam of the bath solution stay on the Akita dog's body to prevent irritation of the skin and causing dermatitis.

5. Bathing should be best done in the morning or noon. Do not bathe Akita dogs in weather with high air humidity or cloudy and rainy days.

6. After taking a bath, you should immediately dry the water droplets on the Akita dog with a towel, and then dry it with a hair dryer. Do not put the Akita dog directly in the sun to dry after bathing. Because bathing can remove a lot of grease from the coat, this reduces the Akita dog's ability to withstand cold and skin resistance to a certain extent. One cold and one hot can easily cause the Akita dog to catch a cold, and in severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia.
