Usually, pets do not need frequent washing - the natural oils in the skin, shedding, good nutrition, and their instinctive grooming habits allow pets to keep their skin and coat clean. However, from time to time our furry friends need a little outside help. Sometimes there can be a lot of wool and unpleasant odors, then a scrub may be the only good remedy! Follow these tips when bathing dogs, cats, or other furry pets.
When talking about bathing pets, it should be noted right away that they do not sweat entirely, like a person. In dogs, sweat glands are located on the pads and on the nose (the gland is responsible for moisturizing the nose to cool the inhaled air). In cats, sweat glands are also located on the pads, near the nipples, anus, on the cheeks and lips. Also, the skin of animals is naturally endowed with a protective lubricant, washing off which, we expose the pet to the risk of skin diseases. Therefore, tailed pets definitely need to wash much less often than we do, and for some species, water procedures can even be deadly.
