During Spring and Summer, dogs get very busy. And a busy dog can get dirty.
Routine baths and flea control are so important during these busy months.
Not only is it good hygiene, regular baths can actually prevent many problems, along with the stacking of vet bills.
Regular baths can help prevent fleas, hot spots, and even skin problems.
Good health can come from a clean coat.
Giving regular baths keep the skin healthy, preventing lesions like hot spots, among other skin issues.
Just the washing of your dog can bring awareness to things that weren’t there, like lumps, or ticks.
Being able to catch things early is the key to good health.
Oatmeal baths
Oatmeal baths instead of sterroids or strong medications can help with allergies or irritated skin. Avoid the costly time and money it takes to stop an itch.
Soothing oatmeal baths are great for dogs with allergies and the itchies.
Or for the more severe itch, talk to your vet about medicated shampoo.
Try to be proactive before the itch starts!
Something as easy as washing your pets paws once a week during the Spring with just soapy warm water, could prevent constant licking at the paws from allergies.
Ask your veterinarian about home remedies that would suit your pet, guaranteed there is always something you can do.
