You can take a bath when your dog is in heat, but you should pay attention to the water temperature and gentle movements. At this time, the dog is more emotionally sensitive and can easily have a stress reaction. Moreover, it is not recommended to bathe a female dog in estrus. The female dog’s vagina is loose during estrus, and it is easy to be infected with bacteria, causing the dog to suffer from vaginitis or pyometra and other diseases.

Things to note when a dog is in heat

1. Pay attention to the hygiene of the environment. Owners should pay special attention to the hygiene of the environment and disinfect it every day, because dogs in estrus are very weak, especially female dogs, and are easily infected with bacteria.

2. Pay attention to nutritional supplements. The dog's appetite will decrease during the estrus period, so the owner must supplement the dog with some nutrients to prevent the dog from malnutrition.

3. Pay attention to soothing the dog’s emotions. Dogs are generally agitated during the estrus period. The owner can play with the dog to distract the dog's attention, or use drugs that suppress estrus to help the dog end the estrus period early.
