In the cold winter, many parents will be worried about bathing their dogs. If they don’t take a bath, they feel that they are not clean and smelly. They are taking a bath, and they are worried that the puppy will catch a cold and get sick when taking a bath in a cold weather. So, what are the priorities for bathing dogs in winter?
Some parents think winter is really too cold, so they simply don't bathe their dogs. I would like to remind you that this kind of approach is not good. Not to mention, puppies also need to go out often in winter. Their hair is easy to get entangled and will accumulate dirt. Just imagine how dirty it would be if they don’t take a bath in a winter? Isn’t it the first to affect the beauty? In addition, if the puppy does not take a bath for a long time, the oil will easily become a seed bed for various bacteria after a certain period of time, which can easily cause the occurrence of diseases. So, puppies must have to take a shower in winter.
In winter, young dogs should not take a bath too quickly. They are very immunity and are prone to illness. If they are indeed very dirty, they can use a semi-wet warm towel to scrub it. After three months, they can only take a bath after all the immune system is done.
Normal puppies can take a bath every half month in winter. Since the puppies do not have sweat glands, frequent bathing is not good for the puppies. If the front paws are dirty after walking the dog, they can be cleaned with a bath-free wave.
In the cold winter, puppies are prone to illness, and their skin is much more sensitive than you think. Improper bathing method will damage its subcutaneous hair follicles, resulting in hair loss, white shavings, swelling, itching, etc., which will lead to skin diseases.
