Playful and curious pets could get themselves into various messes, making you wonder about the best way to bathe your cat so she does not scratch you, or your dog so he does not make a big splash.
You can begin by filling first your kitchen sink or tub with some warm water then put non-slip mats at the bottom. After wetting your pet’s fur all the way to the skin, a small, coin-sized quantity of pet shampoo can now be massaged throughout. Avoid using shampoos that are scented or products that are not approved by veterinarians like essential oils or perfume. Animal companions are more vulnerable to strong scents and most fragrance products contain hazardous components.
Rinse your pet up to the point where the water is clear, taking care not to get shampoo into your pet’s ears or eyes. Dry off your pet, paying attention to your pet’s ears, if there is any water in them as this might cause bacterial and fungal infections.
Consult your veterinarian regarding how frequently you should be giving your dog a bath. Your pet’s fur length, lifestyle, existing medical issues, and breed will determine his ideal bathing frequency. Generally, many breeds will find being bathed every five to seven weeks beneficial for them.
One typical question with cat owners is that if their pet grooms herself, does she need to be bathed? Yes, they do. Overweight cats could have problems reaching specific spots and there are cats that do not efficiently groom themselves. Cats like these could use some help. Regularly bathing your cat prevents her fur from becoming sticky or greasy.
Should you notice your cat having a lot of hairballs or grooming herself too much, you may want to consult your vet Marietta, GA. Your pet might have an underlying medical issue.
