Precautions for dogs after swimming

1. Dry your body as much as possible

If the dog cannot take a bath immediately after swimming, the owner should prepare a large towel to dry the dog's body as much as possible. If you can, it's best to take a shower right away and blow dry. Because there are inevitably a lot of bacteria and impurities in the water outside, which can easily cause skin diseases in dogs, so it is necessary to take a bath. If the hair is wet, it is easy to breed bacteria, so keep the dog's hair dry.

2. Observe whether the dog has a cold

After swimming and taking the dog home, the owner should pay attention to observe whether the dog has symptoms of a cold. If the dog has symptoms of sneezing, loss of appetite, and listlessness, it is necessary to give the dog medicine or see a doctor as soon as possible. Also pay attention to observe whether the dog's skin has changed. After swimming in some places with unclean water quality, if it is not rinsed off, it will suffer from skin diseases.

3. Pay attention to physical condition

After the dog swims, the owner should pay attention to the physiological condition of the dog. If you find that your dog is unwell and looks listless, don't take your dog to swim in a short time. It should be noted that dogs that have just been vaccinated or are sick should not go swimming. When the weather is bad, don't take your dog to swim outdoors, so as not to catch a cold and get sick.

Precautions when dogs swim

1. There are many safety hazards in wild swimming pools. After entering the water, the dog should be equipped with a chest-back traction rope, so that the dog can be rescued in time in case of danger.

2. When a dog's expression is frightened and his movements start to panic, he is likely to be overtired. At this time, he should immediately drag the dog to the shore.

3. Some dogs cannot swim because of their physical fitness. Puppies under the age of 6 months have poor resistance and are prone to colds and illnesses. Dogs that have just been vaccinated should not swim for 2 weeks. Sick, elderly and infirm dogs are not recommended to swim.
