I believe that when many parents just have their own furry children, they want to take them home and take a bath, and then they can have a soft and fragrant puppy. However, puppies of different ages also have different bathing times. So how old should a puppy be when bathed? What issues should you pay attention to when taking a bath?
Stages of puppy bathing
If the immunity is poor and the immune system is not fully developed, it is likely to catch a cold while bathing, which may lead to disease, so it is recommended that healthy puppies do not bathe. If you must take a bath, you must pay attention to keeping warm. Puppies often cannot be bathed until two months after they are born. If they are puppies just brought home, they need to live in the new environment for 1 week to adapt to the new environment, and then start vaccinations. A 3-shot vaccine is usually administered at about 3 months of age, and bathing can only occur 7 days after the vaccination is completed to prevent diseases caused by low immunity. If you want to bathe a dog that is not immune, it is recommended to wash it. Generally speaking, puppies under six months old should not be bathed, but you can choose to wash it, that is, spray conditioner and baby hair diluted more than 1000 times every day or every other day. Talcum powder and frequent brushing can replace washing with water. If your dog has been sick, do not bathe. Because puppies are weak, they are prone to respiratory symptoms, colds and pneumonia after bathing and cooling. At the same time, bathing will also affect the amount of hair growth, hair color and hair quality.
Precautions for bathing
The first bath should be carried out step by step to avoid adverse effects on the puppy, otherwise the bath will disgust the puppy. Or send the puppy to a more experienced pet store, which can treat your pet gently. If the work in the pet shop is rough and the unfamiliar environment is more likely to cause stress reactions, it is recommended that the puppy be bathed at home. The temperature of the bathing water is between 35 and 38 degrees, it may be slightly higher. Immerse the puppy in clean water and wipe away the penetration around the anus. Because dog hair shampoo is more irritating to puppies, you may want to use baby shampoo instead. After rubbing the shampoo repeatedly on your hands, quickly wipe it on the puppy.
First, clean the puppy's chest, hands and feet to prevent it from getting particularly scared. Be careful not to let water enter the ear, gently wipe it dry and then clean the head. Water and foam should be away from the eyes, nose and mouth, otherwise it will react violently. After washing, the hair must be dried, and the joint between the ear canal and toes must be dried and blown, otherwise it will be easy toCause skin diseases. After bathing, give the dog some food and praise it so that it has a pleasant memory so that it will not resist bathing in the future.
