Purpose and appropriate time for bathing dogs

Purpose of dog bathing:

There is a foul odor from the secretion of canine sebaceous glands, and it can also become dirty and tangled with pollutants, emitting a strong smell. If you don't bathe your dog, it is easy for pathogenic microorganisms and parasites to invade, making your dog sick. Therefore, it is necessary to bathe your dog to maintain clean and healthy skin, which is beneficial to your dog's health.

Choosing the time to bathe your dog:

1. In terms of seasons, it is not recommended to bathe pets in winter.

2. Even in other seasons, it is necessary to avoid bathing pets on days with sudden changes in weather. Unlike humans, pets only adjust their temperature by growing longer fur in winter and shedding fur in spring.

3. In summer, it is especially unsuitable to bathe animals in thunderstorms. After a bath, the pores will open and the natural oils on the fur will decrease, which cannot be quickly restored, often overlooked by the owner, and can lead to diseases.

4. Generally speaking, long-haired dogs should be bathed once every two weeks, and regular grooming is most important in daily care. This is especially important during the shedding season. Short-haired dogs should be bathed once a month. Just wiping with a damp towel is enough for daily care. In addition, in dry spring weather, you should wet the fur with some water before grooming to prevent static electricity.

Conditions when dogs are not suitable for bathing:

1. Newly brought home dogs.

2. Puppies that have not been vaccinated yet.

3. Dogs with external injuries.

4. Dogs with colds or in an unhealthy condition.

5. Dogs that have just been vaccinated.

6. Female dogs in heat.

7. Dogs before and after giving birth.
