Tips for bathing your Labrador puppy

for puppies Precautions for bathing a Labrador
Labrador Retriever (certain introduction)

In order to protect the dog's It is necessary to clean and prevent the infection of bacteria and bathe the dog regularly. There are many things we need to pay attention to when bathing dogs, especially for puppies. So let’s talk about the precautions for bathing Labrador puppies, so that everyone can pay more attention when bathing their own dogs.

1. Wash the dirty parts first:

The dog’s four feet, butt and mouth are the parts of the body that are more likely to get dirty. After washing with bath soap, wash these parts with shower gel first. Then wash the whole body with bath soap again, so that the dog will be very clean after washing. There will be no such thing as finding the dog's feet and butt after washing, and it will not be the same as other situations.

2. Cut the hair around the butt:

When washing the dog’s butt, you should also wash the area around the anus with fat soap and check the area around the anus. There are no long hairs that are easy to stick to feces. Most dogs are well-behaved when bathing, and it is relatively easy to trim the hair around the buttocks when it gets wet. So you might as well give it a trim at this time, but be careful not to cut the lazy meat around the anus.

3. Washing method:

For dogs who don’t like bathing very much, you can use a bottle to dilute the bath solution first, and then apply it on the dog’s hair. When the dog is dry, sprinkle the diluted bath liquid on the dog and rub it into foam, which is a bit like how we go to a hair salon to wash our hair. In this way, the dog only flushes the water once when rinsing the foam, so it reduces the chance of competing with you. However, this method is not practical for dogs that are relatively large and have very thick hair, because the diluted bath liquid you dilute is immediately absorbed by the dry thick hair, and you have to use a lot of energy to create a lather. , so it is better to wet the hair first when washing this kind of dog.

4. Wash the dog’s mouth:

If it is a dog with a flat mouth, such as a Pekingese, a Pug, etc., it is best not to directly flush its face with water. Because the nasal cavity of these dogs is very short, and the dogs do not know how to hold their breath, it is easy for water to enter the nose, making it particularly uncomfortable. You might as well wipe your face with a wet towel soaked in water. For dogs with relatively long faces, it is not easy to wash their faces. Even the most well-behaved dog is conflicted about washing its face. When it’s time to wash their facesThe key is to fix its face with your hands and don't let it move around. You might as well follow the method in the attached picture, grab its mouth with one hand, use a little force to make it feel that you are stronger than it, and then use the other hand to hold the nozzle to flush one side of the dog's face, so that the water can flow from the dog's face. Let the water flow down between the dog's eyes and nose, so that the eyes will not get wet and the water will not enter the nose. Then switch over and rush to the other side.

5. Prepare some toilet paper or small towels:

This is particularly necessary. Because it is easy to splash water into the dog's eyes during bathing. When washing the top of its head, it will also bury its head and let the water flow up from its nose. I guess it will bury its head and endure the water rushing to the top of its head. Its eyes will be closed the rest of the time. Use toilet paper and a small piece of towel to wipe the water from the eyes and nose immediately. The dog will be very happy. I personally prefer to use a large ball of toilet paper to wipe it, because toilet paper has a strong absorbency and can be discarded directly when it is no longer used, which is more convenient than using a towel.

6. Plug cotton balls into the dog’s ears

Water in the dog’s ears can easily cause ear inflammation. Before bathing, rub two cotton balls slightly larger than the ears and plug them. into the dog's ears, so that the water that accidentally flows inside will be blocked by the cotton ball.

To help your dog bathe, you must first choose a suitable shower gel. Do not use human shower gel to help them bathe. When bathing, be careful not to let water flow into their ears and eyes, so as not to cause discomfort. Be sure to blow after bathing, and blow completely.
