The right way to bathe your dog! The shovelers come in and learn

The weather is hot in summer, and many shovelers will choose to bathe their dogs at home, but if the bathing method is incorrect, it will damage the dog's hair and skin, causing harm to them. Let me introduce the correct steps to bathe your dog.

1. Before bathing the dog, comb the dog's hair smoothly. During the combing process, you can comb the hair that has fallen and comb the hair to reduce the more serious hair tangle after wet water. Carefully check whether the dog is injured, skin diseases, etc., and then roughly clean up the dust and shed hair.

Then clean the eyes and ears, and since water needs to be avoided from entering the eyes and ears during bathing, clean these two sensitive areas first. Wipe the corners of the dog's eyes with a wet towel with warm water, and use special eye drops and ear washes to clean your eyes and ears separately.

Dogs with more ear canal villi should also help them pluck their ear hair to prevent the accumulation of earwax and create an environment for bacteria to grow. Then you can stuff medical cotton into your dog's ears to avoid water entering your ears when taking a shower later. If you are more particular, you can apply eye ointment to protect your eyes.

2. Before taking a bath, you should first adjust the water temperature. The dog's body temperature is slightly higher than that of a person, between 37.7 and 39.2 degrees, so when testing the water, it would be better to have a little hotter than your hands. Never use a spray head with excessive water pressure to spray water directly at the dog. If you scare the dog, it will be troublesome if you don’t like taking a bath in the future.

Shower gel first knead and beat the foam, then gently scratch the dog's body, and evenly apply the bubbles to the dog's hair. For dogs, this process is like doing massage. They will enjoy it very much, but be sure to avoid the face to avoid foam entering the eyes or entering the mouth and nose.

Remember to use a shower gel for dogs. The skin of dogs is different from ours. It is weakly alkaline. If you use shower gel for humans for dogs, it will lead to weak alkaline, which will reduce oil on the surface of the skin, cause dry hair, produce a series of problems such as itching, allergies, and dander, which will reduce the immunity of the skin and cause skin diseases.

The next thing is to rinse the foam with clean water and make sure to rinse the foam at the root of the hair.

3, the next step is the most important step, blow dry. After rinsing, you should immediately help the dog dry the moisture with a towel, which can reduce the time for blow-drying, and then use a hair dryer to dry the hair. Parents who have bathed the dog should know that dogs are very afraid of the sound of the hair dryer, so the shoveler can first reward the dog with some snacks to distract its attention, so it will be much easier to blow and the time will be shorter.

Remember that the hair dryer should not be too close to the coat during the blowing process. It is necessary to keep a distance of more than 20cm and use warm air instead of hot air. Blow dry and then sort it out and it's done!
