If good habits are formed, bathing and beautifying can be a great pleasure for all pets.
1. When can a pet take a bath for the first time?
Holding a pet that has just been brought back from a pet store or a friend's house must feel very warm and furry. However, some owners may think that the pet treasure will have a strong smell and want to bathe it and clean it up as soon as possible.
The problem is that pets haven't been deworming yet. Can they take a bath without vaccination?
Puppies born a few months ago are not very resistant. When is it suitable for them to take a bath and blow?
It is best to let the pet take a bath for the first time at least 10 days after vaccination. According to the reasonable immunization program, the puppy should be nearly 3 months, and the kitten should be about 4 months. If you feel a little dirty before this, you might as well comb it frequently or clean it with dry cleaning powder. Be sure to use a special bath liquid for pets when taking a bath. Because the skin of newborn pets is delicate, we should choose products that are warm and non-irritating. Don't catch a cold after taking a shower.
2. What small details should I pay attention to when bathing my pet?
(1) Before bathing your pet, take it to do some exercise and let it defecate. Apply ointment to your eyes to protect them.
(2) Before washing, comb the quilt with a comb, and then clean up the dust and broken hair.
(3) The water temperature for bathing pets should be 36~38 degrees Celsius. First, wet the pet with a small amount of water to avoid pouring water on its head suddenly. Don't let the bath get into your eyes.
3. How often should Xiao Chongbao take a bath?
The frequency of bathing depends on personal hygiene, exercise and the hygiene of the usual activity places. Generally speaking, it is reasonable to take a bath for 7~ 10 days in summer and 15~20 days in winter. If you want to keep clean, the owner should comb the dog's fur every day, which will help the pet keep clean and avoid being knotted by fur.
4.？ What if there is always static electricity when grooming pets?
In winter in the northern region, because of the dry environment, pets' hair is very easy to carry static electricity. When grooming a dog, you will hear the fur crackle and stick to the comb as soon as you touch it, which not only makes people feel uncomfortable, but also makes the pet refuse to let the owner comb it. How should we improve at this time?
(1) anti-static cleaning is the most important.
Nursing points: For long-haired dogs, cats or dogs with double hairs, when the owner combs his hair at ordinary times, he can use conditioner for care, and then comb it layer by layer with a comb to reduce static electricity and prevent hair from falling off after drying.
Bathing points: choose a moisturizing and supple shampoo and conditioner to take a bath. The owner can understand the product function through the product description. Nourishing and supple type generally contains jojoba oil, sunflower glucoside, VB3, grape seed oil, hyaluronic acid and other nutrients. Can quickly repair and nourish dry and damaged hair, antistatic, restore hair luster and vertical effect.
(2) When choosing clothes for pets, it depends on the material.
In winter, most pet owners dress their dogs when they take them out. When buying clothes, try to choose cotton cloth. If you choose clothes made of other materials, you should first consider the probability of static electricity. Every time you go home, comb your pet's fur immediately to prevent it from knotting due to static electricity.
(3) Improve indoor environment and air humidity.
The main cause of static electricity is dry environment. Therefore, increasing the air humidity in the environment can be said to be a fundamental solution. In addition, diversify some green plants (be careful not to choose plants that may be toxic to pets when running away). These methods can increase indoor humidity. With the increase of moisture content in the air, static electricity will be much less. This method is not only suitable for pets, but also for every member of the family.
5. Why do you want to squeeze the anal gland for the dog?
Anal glands are a pair of pear-shaped glands located on both sides of the dog's anus, which mainly secrete anal gland fluid, also known as anal sac, and are symmetrically distributed in the anus at four o'clock and eight o'clock.
The anal gland has two main functions. The first is to secrete lubricating fluid to help Chongbao lubricate the anus during defecation and avoid constipation. The second is to transmit some basic information of animals to the outside world, because anal glands are rich in pheromones and can transmit personalized information to the outside world. When dogs smell each other's buttocks after meeting, they are actually reading the information carried in each other's anal glands. In addition, when animals are particularly nervous, they can suddenly empty the anal glands, and then they will emit a stench.
Generally speaking, the secretion of anal gland will be discharged with feces during defecation. However, if the diarrhea persists for a long time or the defecation is soft, there will be no pressure on the cecum to stimulate the anal gland during defecation, and the anal gland fluid will accumulate, which will lead to discomfort in dogs. In this case, the dog's typical performance includes: sitting on the ground, rubbing his ass, licking or biting his anus, having difficulty squatting or wagging his head and tail. If careful examination reveals that the anal gland is red and swollen, then it can be suspected that it is anal adenitis, which can also cause pain, swelling and sometimes even systemic symptoms.
Under normal circumstances, the secretion of anal gland is yellow or brown liquid, and the secretion cleaned after long-term non-extrusion may be brown or black paste. If bleeding or pus is found during cleaning, the anal gland has been infected and inflamed. At this time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.
6. Why do you want to cut Chong Bao's toenails?
Pets' toenails will always grow. Animals in the natural environment wear toenails when their soles touch the ground. However, when animals enter the family and become pets, their living space and exercise will be greatly reduced, and the natural wear of toenails will also be reduced. So I need the owner's help to trim it. If the toenails of animals are allowed to grow freely, on the one hand, they will become sharp and may scratch others every time they interact with their owners. On the other hand, toenails that are too long will bend and pierce the meat, causing pain to animals. One more thing, the blood line on animal toenails will be extended with the growth of toenails. Only the more you cut, the shorter the blood line, and the easier it will be to cut in the future. When cutting toenails, be sure to use nail clippers for pets. Animal toenails are completely different from human toenails. If you use nail clippers or scissors, it is easy to split your toenails and cause more damage.
Cutting toenails for animals is a very meticulous job, starting with the toenail structure of animals. The outer layer of animal toenails is a thick stratum corneum, and there are very rich capillaries and nerves inside the stratum corneum. From the outside, it looks like a red line, also called' blood line' and' live meat'. Pay special attention to this blood line when cutting your pet's toenails. If you hurt the blood line, it will bleed and make it resistant to toenail cutting.
Some kinds of animals grow a' wolf toe', which is easily overlooked and won't touch the ground. After a long time, the wolf's toes will bend and stab into the limbs.
