When a pet owner brings their pet to the store for the first time, the first thing to look at is whether or not their pet is a good candidate for grooming and washing.
1）Pets that are young (just weaned), unvaccinated pets less than three months oldIt is not recommended to wash with water. If you really want to wash and care for it, we recommend the use of a no-rinse shampoo or dry cleaning powder.
2）Senior (8 to 10+ years old) petsThe owner of the pet should watch over the side or in front of the monitor when carrying out the washing and care, do not let the owner walk away, because if the senior dog in the process of washing and care problems, only by virtue of the monitor, it is difficult to prove that the situation, the owner is by the side, you can deal with some emergencies in a timely manner, and it is relatively safe and a lot.
3）Post-healing (cold, diarrhea, spay/neuter) and post-surgical petsLao Ni suggests that this type of pet is not suitable for immediate grooming and washing, and should wait for at least 2 or 3 days or more.
4）Pets in SicknessFor pets arriving at the store for the first time, you should start with a temperature measurement and fecal condition test, and observe its mental state to see if it has diarrhea and so on. As long as the dog has not just finished exercising, then the body temperature is representative of the significance of the body temperature, and can screen for some of the diseases that are not visually diagnosed, but may be hidden.(Piper suggests every pet store should have an ear thermometer)
5）Pets after exercise and eatingFor pets that have just finished exercising it is not recommended to give it a bath immediately, they need to adapt to the temperature indoors first, take a rest, and only carry out the washing and grooming operation after about 20~30 minutes.
6）Some aggressive dogs and catsFor example, dogs such as Pine Lion, Husky, Tibetan Mastiff, Tosa, Kaslo and Doberman need to be careful if they are first time in the store. Lao Ni mentioned that especially the Pinehound needs to be careful, because in his past experience of more than ten years, the most examples of being bitten by the Pinehound. There are also cats that need attention because they are very vigilant, so pay special attention to their emotional state and watch out for your safety during the washing and care process. (Lao Ni does not recommend using cat bags and cages to wash cats, except in some very special cases)
And then there are some besides dogs and catsRat family, hedgehog family, rabbits, raccoons, squirrelsWait is also not suitable for water washing, most of these animals have to be washed using bath sand.
