Don\u2019t bathe doggy too frequently<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"264\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.budgetvetcare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Dont-bathe-Dog-too-frequently-264x300.jpg\" alt=\"Dont bathe Dog too frequently\" class=\"wp-image-67\" srcset=\"http:\/\/budgetvetcare.improvepetcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Dont-bathe-Dog-too-frequently-264x300.jpg 264w, http:\/\/budgetvetcare.improvepetcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Dont-bathe-Dog-too-frequently.jpg 547w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 264px) 100vw, 264px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not necessary for your dog to bathe daily. Especially when it is winter, your pooch requires less bath. Shampooing him too frequently tend to remove essential natural oil, which helps in preventing dry and itchy skin and dull coat. Bathing your furry pal once or twice a month will suffice and helps in keeping him clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>3. Don\u2019t miss Home Spa session of Dog<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.budgetvetcare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Home-Spa-session-of-Dog-300x224.png\" alt=\"Home Spa session of Dog\" class=\"wp-image-66\" srcset=\"http:\/\/budgetvetcare.improvepetcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Home-Spa-session-of-Dog-300x224.png 300w, http:\/\/budgetvetcare.improvepetcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Home-Spa-session-of-Dog.png 582w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Massage is one of the most important regimes that you need to add to your pet\u2019s bathing protocol. Massage your dog\u2019s skin and fur with branded shampoo while bathing. During the massage session, you are not only helping your dog to relax but can also feel any presence of lumps on his body. This allows you to find anything wrong with your dog or cat. You can talk to your vet and find out the solution for the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>4. Don\u2019t wash face and ears of Dog<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.budgetvetcare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dont-wash-face-and-ears-of-dog-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"dont wash face and ears of dog\" class=\"wp-image-68\" srcset=\"http:\/\/budgetvetcare.improvepetcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dont-wash-face-and-ears-of-dog-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/budgetvetcare.improvepetcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dont-wash-face-and-ears-of-dog.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, pet parents make this mistake while bathing their furry pals. Water may get into their eyes, ears or nose, which can irritate them and can sometimes be dangerous. Moreover, lot of moisture is present in the wrinkles on their face apart from ears. Unable to dry these parts can lead to bacterial infection due to lot of moisture. Be careful while running water on their head. For cleaning face, you can use cotton buds and for ears, use otosol or epi-otic ear cleansing solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>5. Don\u2019t use hair dryer for Dog<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"282\" src=\"https:\/\/www.budgetvetcare.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dont-use-hair-dryer-for-dog-300x282.jpg\" alt=\"dont use hair dryer for dog\" class=\"wp-image-69\" srcset=\"http:\/\/budgetvetcare.improvepetcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dont-use-hair-dryer-for-dog-300x282.jpg 300w, http:\/\/budgetvetcare.improvepetcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dont-use-hair-dryer-for-dog-768x722.jpg 768w, http:\/\/budgetvetcare.improvepetcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dont-use-hair-dryer-for-dog-1024x963.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For long hair, pet owners are tempted to use hair dryer to quickly dry the hair and specifically when it is cold outside. Whether your dog has short hair or long hair, avoid using hair dryer. The heat of the dryer can be quite hot and harsh on the sensitive skin of your dog. It can even cause dryness or itchy sensation or in events may burn the skin. Instead of dryer, it is better to use a towel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After bathing, towel dry the hair with clean towel. Do not harshly rub your pet\u2019s coat with the towel. It may cause rashes or irritate his skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following these simple dos and don\u2019ts, you can have a perfect bathing regime for your furry pal that leaves him fresh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to your furry pal, bathing is the least thing that he may like or may not like<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":64,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9,11],"tags":[44,45,42,43,46,41],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.6 -
