Situations when dogs cannot be bathed:

1. When they are just born. When a dog is born, the mother dog will lick its hair dry and does not need to be bathed. After the bath, the mother dog may not recognize the puppies because she cannot smell her own scent.

2. Just after the vaccination. The dog's constitution is relatively weak after being vaccinated. Taking a bath immediately may affect the effectiveness of the vaccine, and may even cause the dog to become sick.

3. Just after exercise. At this time, the dog's heartbeat is too fast, and bathing will accelerate blood circulation, which may lead to hypoxia in the dog's head.

4. Just after eating. There is still a large amount of food in the dog's stomach that has not been digested, and it is easy to vomit when taking a bath.

5. When the female dog is in estrus. When a female dog is in estrus, her vagina is relaxed. Taking a bath at this time can easily lead to bacterial infection, which can lead to vaginitis, pyometra, etc.

6. When you are sick. When a dog is sick, his body is weak and his resistance is low. Taking a bath can easily aggravate the condition and be detrimental to recovery.

7. When pregnant. The embryo is not stable enough in the early stages of pregnancy in dogs, and bathing can cause miscarriage. Taking a bath before the due date may also lead to premature birth.

8. During the breastfeeding period. If the dog has a stress reaction due to taking a bath, it will easily stop lactation and will not be able to feed the puppy.
