Bathing a dog is one of the components of caring for an animal.
In this article, we will tell you how often you need to bathe your pet with shampoo.
How often should you bathe your dog with shampoo
You need to bathe your dog no more than once a month if we are talking about a water procedure using shampoo.
For bathing, be sure to use only a special product for dogs. This will keep your pet's skin healthy.
Veterinarians recommend bathing hairless dogs every week.
Long-haired and curly-haired dogs should be given a full bath every month, while short-haired dogs should be given a full bath every quarter or half a year.
How to bathe a dog correctly
First, you need to thoroughly wet the dog's fur with warm water.
At the same time, it is important to avoid the head so that water does not get into the eyes and ears of the animal.
Apply shampoo designed specifically for dogs and begin to wash the coat, massaging the skin.
Rinse off with warm water, taking care to thoroughly remove all remaining product.
A healthy dog should have clean, combed fur, short nails and clean ears.
Everything else is for the convenience of the owner.
For example, short hair in the genital area, so as not to wash the dog after each toilet.
