When dogs bathe, in order to ensure their health and comfort, the following are some important taboos, which combine the information provided before:
1. Excessive water temperature: Using overheated water to bathe can cause dry and uncomfortable dog skin, and the appropriate water temperature should be close to the dog's body temperature.
2. Use of human shower gel: The pH of human shampoo and soap is not suitable for dogs' skin and may cause skin allergies or irritation.
3. Leaking ears: Water can easily enter the ears when taking a bath, and inadvertent cleaning may lead to ear canal infection.
4. Bath hard: Rubbing the dog's skin roughly may cause harm or irritation.
5. If you do not thoroughly dry your hair: Wet hair is prone to bacteria and causes skin problems, so you should thoroughly dry it.
6. Bathing too frequently: Bathing too much will destroy the natural oil balance of the skin. It is recommended to adjust the bath frequency according to the dog's activity and hair type.
7. Not combing your hair in advance: If you are not combed before taking a bath, the dust and knots in the hair will become more difficult to deal with during the bath and may also aggravate skin problems.
8. Ignore the emotions when taking a bath: Bathing may make some dogs feel nervous and need to pay attention to and soothe their emotions.
9. Lack of nutritional supplements after bathing: After bathing, make sure that the dog is given enough nutrition to support skin and hair health.
10. Ignore deworming: Although bathing is important, it cannot replace regular deworming work to prevent parasitic infections.
Follow these guidelines to help you provide a safe and comfortable bathing experience for your dog at home.
