Introduction to the situation of Scottish shepherd dogs that cannot be bathed:
1. Environmental changes
Dogs that have just arrived in a new home are prone to a series of stress reactions such as listlessness, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. due to their inability to adapt to sudden changes in living environment and habits. At this time, the dog’s immunity is low. In order to avoid catching a cold When the disease occurs, you need to keep warm, so you cannot take a bath.
2. Not vaccinated
Unvaccinated puppies have poor immunity. Once they catch a cold due to bathing, they are likely to induce diseases such as parvovirus or canine distemper.
3. Within 1 week after vaccination
Due to concerns that bathing will cause a cold and thus affect the effectiveness of the vaccine, doctors do not recommend bathing dogs within a week after various vaccine injections
4. There is trauma

6. Just finished eating
If a dog takes a bath immediately after a full meal, the blood vessels on the skin will expand due to encountering warm water, and the blood will be concentrated on the surface of the body, while the amount of blood near the gastrointestinal tract will be reduced. Without sufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract, it will cause Digestive function is affected.
7. "Confinement"
Dogs, like people, need to be "confineted" for a period of time after giving birth. During this period, it is best for dogs not to take a bath. On the one hand, dogs consume a lot of physical energy after giving birth and their resistance is weak, so they must avoid catching cold. , On the other hand, the process of giving birth is likely to cause wounds in the vagina and other parts, and bathing can easily cause infection of the dog's reproductive system.
