Bathing preparation tools:

Pets bath, Absorbent towel, comb, hair dryer

Bathing preparation:

Like the temperature of the shower head at home And the water pressure is unstable, you can prepare water with the right temperature in advance according to the dog's body size and water consumption.

Choose a dog-friendly shampoo and carefully read the bath instructions to dilute in the correct ratio.

The steps of taking a bath:

After adjusting the water temperature, lower the shower head close to the skin to reduce the sound of water flowing, start from the neck down, and then The legs, and finally the head.

When showering on the head and face, first raise the dog's head, put the shower head close to the hair, and let the water slowly flow down the head. Avoid getting water into nose, eyes and ears.

When the dog is completely wet, you can start to squeeze the anal glands and rinse the dirt off.

Put the pre-diluted bath solution on the dog's body, first on the back and limbs, and finally on the head, rubbing gently to fully lather the bath. Dogs with thick coats can be rubbed with a bath brush.

Rinse off the bath to avoid residual chemicals that can cause discomfort to your dog's skin.

After rinsing, prepare a few absorbent towels to wipe the dog's coat repeatedly. Drying the water as much as possible can effectively reduce the time of blowing.

When blowing hair, use the comb in the right hand to comb the back hair against the direction of the hair, and use the hair dryer in the left hand while combing and blowing the hair. The hair dryer should be kept at a certain distance and shaken up and down to avoid scalding the dog's skin.

Bathing precautions:

Your dog's anal glands don't need to be squeezed every bath.

Long-haired dogs should be rubbed in the direction of hair growth to avoid knots.

Apply the lotion to the bridge of your nose when cleaning the eye area and rub gently along the sides of your eyes.

There is no saying that 80% of the time is OK. Incomplete blowing can easily cause skin infections in dogs.

The resistance of puppies is very weak, and bathing can easily cause respiratory infections. You can only consider bathing them until the antibodies gradually take effect about seven days after all vaccinations are completed.
