Different times, the time interval between dogs' showers is different. Generally speaking, due to the very hot temperature in summer, dogs always sweat and are very prone to smell, so it is best to wash once every 7-10 days; in winter, due to the cold weather, dogs do not go out for much activity, so it is better to wash once every 15 days.

The dog's health is different, and the bathing time is also different. If it is a young dog, especially a young dog that has not been vaccinated or dewormed, it is best not to wash it first; for a pregnant dog or a dog in the breeding period, the pet owner can wash it every few days; elderly dogs can wash it once a month or two.

Dog's skin is much thinner than people's skin. You cannot take a bath every day. If you take a shower too often, it will wash away the vegetable oil layer on the dog's skin, causing the dog's skin to be less defensive and more prone to skin diseases. Therefore, pet owners must be careful not to bathe their dogs too much.

The pH of the dog's skin is different from ours. Therefore, when bathing a dog, you must prepare a special shampoo for dogs in advance. Otherwise, using people's shower gel will damage the dog's skin and hair, causing the dog's hair to decline, and the skin will also appear very sensitive.

Before bathing the dog, the pet should first help the dog clean up the hair and comb the hair smoothly. This way, when helping the dog bathe, it will not easily hurt the dog's hair. Also, be careful to see that the temperature of bathing the dog should be suitable. It is best to have water that is too cool or too hot, which is all toxic to the dog. Before washing, you can use the dog's feet to test the temperature of the water.

After bathing the dog, the pet owner must immediately dry the dog to prevent the dog from having a fever, cold and cold. When drying your dog's hair, it is best to choose a hair dryer with a low sound, so that the dog can reduce its worry. In addition, when blowing, it is best not to blow at a certain position, as the dog will feel uncomfortable.
