How to properly bath the dog

Listen, everyone thinks this is very simple, but actually how bathing is so good and good for your animal is not everyone knows.

For pets with normal healthy skin coat, regular bathing is not necessary as regular bathing can cause the animal to lose its shine, dryness and even skin damage. If you shower too much.

Especially for cats, we should limit the bath if the fur of the cat is not unusual because cats hate bathing. Therefore, it is important to determine the time of pet bathing and should be properly identified. We often bathe a pet when:

• There is too much dirt, mucus, or other foreign substances on the skin and hair.


• It is time to remove the dead coat that has fallen on the animal's coat.


• Increased secretion of sebum causes the animal to smell.


• The skin on the skin accumulate many accumulation in the skin, scales.


• Skin infection.

In addition, we should choose the warm weather to bathe the object and do not bathe too late at the end of the day to make the hair of the object is difficult to completely dry, which can lead to pathological cases are not worthy of later. .

Note, do not bathe your pet when:

• After 2h.

• The weather is too cold (especially in the north, when the outdoor temperature drops below 18oC).

• Young nursing mothers or new mothers.

• I'm sick or have signs of being sick.

• The men are oestrus ready to mate, if the bath will reduce the smell "attractive features" to reduce sexual arousal when mating.

• Pets after mating within 15 days.

• New born pet.

• Newly bought pets.

• The new vaccines.

Once you have determined the right time to shower, choose a bath that fits your pet. Good bath soap does not irritate the skin and PH = 7-7,14. You can buy them at any veterinary clinic. We should not use human bath gel to bathe the pet because most people's acne bath milk is not good for the skin of animals.

For children with dermatitis, choose a special shower gel as directed by a veterinarian. If wrongly selected, it will likely make the animal's disease more serious.

Next, we remove the scaly dead skin, carpet and the hair is stuck together hard. This not only helps us to bathe the animal more easily and more quickly, but also helps to prevent future pathogens.

In addition, before bathing the dog should also undertake the preparation of the bathing process such as:

• Use two cotton pads inserted into the ears to prevent water from entering the ear of an infected animal.


• Prepare a rubber mat in the bathroom to prevent the animal from falling (causing the animal to panic and stress).


• If the toenails are too long, cut them before showering.


• In addition, you should prepare a bottle of eye drops specialized in veterinary medicine in case of bathe wire bath in the eyes of animals.

Except in the case of sunny days, the rest should be bathed in the bathroom in the house. Add some warm water to the bath, then put the animal in the tub.

Start by wiping the animal's face with a damp cloth, then gently wipe the ear to remove dirt and dead skin.

Gently infiltrate the water gradually throughout the body, just pour the hands and massage the shower cream diluted to the animal body starting from the neck down the body. Continue using your hand gently scoop the whole body shower gel and dirt away, then rinse gently with water. If not clean, we continue to repeat the bathing process again. However, it should be noted that bathing time for animals should not be too long will not good for the health of the object.

Dog baths help dogs relax

If you are using medicinal bath gel to treat the animal, then after bathing the body lotion bath should be left for 10 minutes to penetrate into the skin.

When you have completed the bathing process, use a dry cotton towel to wipe off the animal's water. For those whose coat is not too long and thick, let it dry naturally.

For those with longer, dry hair, you can use the dryer to dry the animal, but keep in mind that the cooler mode should be chosen even though it takes longer for it to rinse the skin. The pet's dry, hurt.

Also, if the animal is not accustomed to hearing the sound of the dryer and has a violent response, we should not be too pressured.

Finally, after bathing the dog if the animal has any abnormalities such as high fever, quit eating, shivering ... we should immediately take it to the veterinarian for examination.
