Do dogs have to dry their feet after washing them?

Be sure to blow-dry your dog’s feet after washing them. If you don’t blow-dry them, your dog’s paws will be wet and easy to breed bacteria and fungi. In severe cases, it can even lead to skin diseases, so you must blow-dry your dog’s feet after washing them. If your dog's feet are not particularly dirty, you can just wipe them clean with a wet wipe or damp cloth.

Tip:

When bathing your dog, you should also pay attention to drying the whole body of the dog, not just the body.
