Benefits of bathing dogs
The essential substances of dog skin glands contain wax-like essential substances. This essential substance has the characteristics of vegetable oils. If it accumulates a lot on the skin and hair, and the dirty things on the body that are stuck on the outside, an uncomfortable odor will be emitted. In high temperatures, if the dog is not bathed, it is very easy to be infected with microorganisms and cystic schizoli. Therefore, be sure to bathe the dog to remove odors, maintain daily skin cleaning, prevent skin diseases, and promote hair growth and development.
How long does it take to bathe your dog? It is suitable for dogs to be born to swim, but there are very few dogs who like to bathe. Because taking a bath will wash away their favorite feelings, it is recommended that people's living habits do not need to impose their living habits on the dog. The frequency of bathing for dogs is not clearly stipulated. It generally depends on the type of dog, weather conditions, etc. For example, if the dog has a short hair type, if the epidermis is scrubbed every day, it will not take a bath for life. Dogs with hairy dogs take a bath once a month. In the southern part of my country, they can take a bath once every 1-2 weeks. The dog's hair comes with a layer of vegetable oil, which is both moisture-proof and can protect the skin, especially for dogs with many hairs. It can also make the dog's hair soft and smooth, maintain its firmness and ductility. If the bathing frequency is too frequent, the shampoo used throughout the bathing process will undoubtedly wash away the vegetable oil from the dog's hair, which will make the dog's hair more and more sensitive and dimmer, which will fall off easily, and lose its moisture-proof effect. It will continue to make the skin more and more sensitive, which is very easy to cause fever, cold or rheumatism.
Dog bathing method and process
The temperature should be suitable, and it should be between 35℃ and 45℃. Before taking a bath, plug the dog's two ear piercings to prevent water seepage. Tap water wets the dog's anus, squeezes the anal glands and divides the essential substances, and cleans the tap water. In the shower room, the wet dog's front should be rinsed first and then washed back. Then use bath solution to wipe the dog's head and body evenly, and rub it gently along the top of the head to the back, abdomen and limbs. Pay attention to prevent the bath solution from entering the eyes. If it accidentally enters the eyes, it should be washed immediately with cold water. After rubbing, to maintain the smoothness of the hair, you can apply threading and clean it completely, and squeeze the water out of the hair with your hands. Wrap the dog with a water-absorbing towel and wipe the water as much as possible. Then use a hair dryer to dry. The temperature of the blowing air should not get hot. When blowing air, you need to blow from behind to front. The trunk can use air to carry out a lot of blowing air, while the face must have a small air discharge. When blowing, you should not be too close to the dog's human body, and you should constantly shake the hair dryer to make the wind spread evenly instead of concentrated at a certain point. While blowing the air, you must keep organizing your hair until the hair is finished. After thoroughly drying, use a needle comb to tidy up the entire body of the dog to ensure that the hair on the whole body is free of knots.
