What are the precautions for bathing a puppy? When bathing a puppy, you must first comb the coat to remove knotted and dirty hair; the temperature of the bath water for bathing the puppy should not be too high or too low, 36- 37 degrees is appropriate; when bathing, you must prevent shampoo from flowing into the dog's eyes or ears. The foam must be rinsed clean, and soap suds or shampoo cannot be retained on the dog.
First, be sure to comb the coat before taking a bath. This can not only comb out the tangled hairs to prevent the coat from getting more tangled, but also remove large pieces of dirt for easy cleaning. Especially around the mouth, behind the ears, armpits, inner thighs, toe tips, etc., the parts of the dog that are least willing to be combed must be combed clean. When combing, in order to reduce and avoid the pain of the dog, you can hold the root of the hair with one hand and comb it with the other hand.
Second, the temperature of the bath water should not be too high or too low. Generally, 36-37 degrees is appropriate in spring, and a little higher in winter.
Third, be sure to prevent shampoo from flowing into the dog’s eyes or ears when bathing. Be sure to flush thoroughly and do not leave soap suds or shampoo on the dog to prevent skin irritation and dermatitis.
Fourth, bathing your dog should be done in the morning or noon, and do not bathe when the air humidity is high or on rainy days. Immediately after washing, blow dry with a hair dryer or dry with a towel. Never leave a dog in the sun to dry after bathing.
