Bathing and How often to bath your pets.

Bathing is very integral part of every one of us including our beloved pets. It keeps them Healthy and also it keeps their skin and coat healthy. Most of our dogs can’t keep calm. They have a habit of exploring everything around them in accordance with freedom given to them. Dogs have a habit in particular, they tend to leave their scent wherever they go. For that they will rub their body against the wall or any other object and this process they accumulate dirt and other particulates. In order to keep them away from this and make them feel free as well bathing becomes an important grooming practice. 

Usually, it is recommended a bath twice a week but it may vary accordance with dogs’ daily schedule, for example if a dog is going for swimming regularly than he only needs bath with just water and drying, Bathing helps them to remove loose hairs, dirt, other particulates etc. Before going for a bath, a general skin and coat examination is recommended for any skin infections or occurrence of any tick and flea infection or any kind of injury. If everything is normal then one should go for a mild shampoo and conditioner. If you find any kind of signs of infection or infestation then its in best interest of pest to approach a veterinarian and go for proper advice of the expert. 

Bathing frequency depends on many reasons like:

- Weather condition

- Lifestyle of a dog (Hunting dog/ Family dog/ Swimming dog)

- Medical Condition

- Breed

In winters it’s better to give bath every 15-20 days with Luke warm water. In winters its important to dry the coat with Hair Dryer to ensure complete drying. But if dogs get dirty then instead of using water one can opt for Dry shampoo or Foaming shampoo which do not require water and can be done using wet towel.  In summer season its better to bathe your dog twice a week time. The time may vary according to lifestyle of the dog. We will have separate blog on lifestyle and bathing correlations. 

In case of any medical condition, one should visit a veterinarian and take recommendations and treatment (if any) from him.
