Suggestions for shower frequency
In summer, the frequency of bathing for dogs can be moderately increased, but it is generally recommended to bathe once or twice a week. This frequency can be adjusted according to the specific situation and needs of the dog.If the dog is active, dirty, or has a heavy body odor, it is advisable to increase the frequency of bathing appropriately, but also avoid excessive frequency.
For dogs with mild body odor and infrequent outings, they can take a bath every two weeks or even once a month.
Mtters needing attention
Water temperature control: When bathing a dog, the water temperature should be controlled between 38.5-40 degrees Celsius to avoid using too hot or too cold water, which may irritate the dog's skin or cause a cold.Use specialized shower gel: Choose a specialized shower gel suitable for dog skin and avoid using human shower gel, as the pH of dog and human skin is different, and using human shower gel may damage the dog's skin barrier.
Thoroughly rinse: When taking a bath, make sure to thoroughly rinse off the shower gel to avoid residue that may irritate the dog's skin.
Timely drying: After taking a shower, use a towel to dry the dog's body and use a hair dryer to thoroughly dry the dog's hair to avoid dampness causing colds or skin diseases.
Observing the dog's reaction: During the bathing process, pay attention to observing the dog's reaction. If the dog shows discomfort or resistance, stop bathing in a timely manner and investigate the cause.
Exceptional case
For dogs that have not been vaccinated in their early years, it is not recommended to take a bath to avoid getting sick due to catching a cold while bathing.Dogs that are sick, stressed, or in a special physiological period are also not recommended to take a bath to avoid worsening the condition or causing other discomfort.
In summary, dogs do not need to bathe every day in summer. Proper bathing frequency and correct bathing methods are necessary to maintain the health and comfort of dogs.
