The dog’s own glands can secrete a waxy secretion, such as sticking to the coat, skin, collar will emit an unpleasant “dog breath” flavor (body odor); dogs like to roll around in dirty things and dirty fur when outdoor activities. Therefore, the dog must be bathed regularly. Bathing not only removes the unpleasant “dog breath” smell and dirt, but also eliminates some of the parasites on the coat and improves the condition of the coat being too dry or too oily.

        

Number of baths

There is no specific rule on how often a dog should be bathed, it generally depends on the type of coat, cleanliness, living conditions and weather. Breeds with shorter coats and less secretions can be bathed less often, generally 1-2 times a month. Coat longer, more secretions, fishy odor varieties should be washed once a week. Summer temperature is high, the weather is relatively humid, the bath should be more diligent; winter temperature is low, the weather is relatively dry, the number of baths should be relatively less. In addition, dogs that are more active outside or stay longer in the nest should be bathed relatively more often. But need to remember is that the bath can not be too hard, not the more often the better, too many baths are easy to remove the skin then oil, not only make the fur dry, but also destroy the skin’s own natural protective barrier, reduce the skin’s ability to resist.

BATHING APPLIANCE

Commonly used items for bathing include bath tubs, cotton balls, towels, measuring cups, shampoo (shampoo shampoo), combs, and blow dryers.
