Well yes, these are questions that some people still ask due to incorrect popular beliefs, HOW SCARY!

Before moving on to the answers and discussions, let's try to answer a few questions:

Why not wash your dog? What could possibly be so dangerous and dramatic about taking care of the hygiene (and you'll discover much more) of our furry child?

How do we feel when we're dirty? And when we feel clean? Not to mention the relaxing power of a hot bath.

Last but not least, how can we smother them with cuddles if they smell awful?

LET'S REPEAT TOGETHER: washing your dog regularly from a young age is an obligation, an act of love, it’s care and it brings countless benefits to their overall health and psychological well-being.

There are several reasons why washing our dogs is important. Here are a few:

1. Cleanliness and Hygiene: Regular washing removes dirt, dust, and residues that can accumulate on the dog's fur. This can prevent the onset of skin infections and other dermatological problems.

2. Odor Control: Dogs can develop unpleasant odors due to dirt, body secretions, or contact with smelly substances. Regular washing helps keep the dog clean and fresh, reducing unwanted smells.

3. Allergy Prevention: Some dogs may suffer from allergies or skin sensitivities. Regular washing with suitable products can help reduce allergens on the dog's skin and coat, providing relief and preventing allergic reactions.

4. Removal of Parasites: Regular washing can help remove fleas, ticks, and other external parasites that may infest the dog. Using anti-parasitic shampoos can be especially helpful in preventing infestations.

5. Socialization and Training: Getting your dog used to washing from a young age can make them more cooperative during the process. Additionally, regular washing is part of basic training and helps establish a positive routine with your furry child.

FREQUENCY

It depends on various factors such as breed, coat length, and lifestyle, but most importantly, on the product you decide to use.

Did you know that there is currently no specific regulation on cosmetic products for animals in Italy? These products are classified as “freely sold items,” meaning they can contain substances that are banned in cosmetics for humans.

Shocking, right?

So, please pay attention to the labels, for goodness’ sake.

To conclude, if and only if we are talking about products specifically designed for dogs, like shampoos and conditioners formulated specifically for their skin and coat, it is advisable to wash a long-haired dog every 20 days, while a short-haired dog every 15 days.

ENVIRONMENT AND CONTEXT

Create a relaxing environment, make sure to use lukewarm water, gradually introduce your dog to the washing process, avoid contact with eyes and ears, and offer your dog gentle caresses and relaxing massages to help them feel more comfortable and to create a positive association with bath time.

After washing, thoroughly dry your dog with a soft towel or use a low-temperature hairdryer. Make sure your dog is completely dry to avoid skin irritations or getting cold.
