Pay attention to shower gel
When using shower gel for dog bathing, it is best to use a shower gel specially designed for dogs. Many owners, out of convenience, use human body wash to bathe their dogs. In fact, there are differences between dog skin and human skin. Some chemicals developed for cleaning human skin are not suitable for use on dogs. If used forcibly, it may cause damage to the dog's skin.
Pay attention to the water temperature
The water temperature for bathing your dog should be controlled at around 38-40 degrees. Dogs will feel uncomfortable if the temperature is too cold or too hot, and 38-40 degrees is exactly the normal body temperature of dogs, so that dogs can take a comfortable bath in a very comfortable state.
Pay attention to the frequency of bathing
Don’t bathe your dog too frequently. It is recommended to bathe your dog once every 1-2 weeks. Bathing too much and too frequently is not necessarily a good thing. The protective oil layer on your dog's skin will lose its effectiveness due to too many baths.
