Dogs are small pets that many people like to feed. Although there are many pet owners, when bathing dogs, many people are very likely to ignore five very easy mistakes, which has caused them to be "washed in vain" these years!
1. Before taking a bath, many pet owners immediately wet the dog's body and then immediately bathe the dog. In fact, it is best for dogs to bathe in a stable period, gradually integrating temperature and bathing methods. Money laundering and tidying hair is also more conducive to long-haired dogs and poodles. Maintain skin health and reduce hair loss!
2. According to the proportion of dilution, the professional pet shower gel is not only able to care for the skin, hair and follicles of the dog in terms of pH, but also the essence of the extraction. Pet owners must use dilution to the shower gel according to the evidence to make it easier to foam and apply evenly, and the cleaning effect will be better and safer. If the owner ignores this, it will be considered as a waste of bathing the dog for so many years!
3. Cleaning the cushion
One of the things that pet owners cannot ignore is the cleaning and maintenance of the cushion of the dog. Most of the sebaceous glands in the body of the dog have declined, and their basal metabolism and a lot of sweating depend on the sebaceous glands on the cushion. Therefore, the dog seat cushion is the dirtiest and most likely to release odors.
4. Give snack rewards
I firmly believe that many pet owners encounter situations where the dog is not in conflict with or cooperates with the bath. This is also the pot that the pet owner ignores the idea of creating happiness when bathing the dog. If the owner rewards the dog with some favorite snacks after bathing, so that the dog can eat and feel happy when eating, the dog will not hide from the owner every time he takes a bath!
5. Extruded anal glands
Many pet owners do not understand the basic principles of the efficacy of dog's anal glands. The anal glands are two glands on the upper and lower sides of the dog's anal mouth. Usually, the gland fluid is deposited in the cyst cavity. When a dog is defecating, the anal glands will automatically squeeze and form gland fluids to moisten the intestines and smooth bowel movements.
When bathing the dog, the owner can touch the dog's glands to see if there is any blockage and hardness. If there is, it must help manually squeeze and mold. Otherwise, if the anal glands are blocked, the dog will not only release a odor (glands), but will also continue to inflame! No matter how much you take a shower, it will be useless and cannot remove the smell.
In addition, be aware that dogs with frequent soft stools and diarrhea are also very likely to block the anal glands and cause the human body to smell. Pet owners can improve their condition in the dietary combination. Choose natural foods with rich protein and colorful proteins like "greedy and non-greasy natural dog food" in the main meal, which can promote gastrointestinal digestion of dogs and improve dogs' soft stools, severe constipation and anal gland obstruction. You should also pay attention to maintaining a certain level of exercise intensity in daily life, which is also beneficial to dogs to prevent anal gland obstruction!
