How to bathe a golden retriever? When bathing a golden retriever at home, you should first plug the golden retriever's ears with cotton to prevent water from entering the ears, then wet the golden retriever's whole body with warm water, and then scrub with dog-specific bath soap. After washing, squeeze Anal glands, finally rinse them with hot water, wipe them with a towel, and then quickly dry the hair with a hair dryer.

Step 1: Plug the ears with cotton to prevent water from entering the ear canal and causing inflammation. Generally speaking, it is best for golden retrievers with erect ears to plug them, especially when washing them at home. The method may not be correct, and golden retrievers are not very cooperative, so it is easy for water to accumulate in the ear canal. This is most likely to cause inflammation. Everyone must pay attention.

Step 2: Wet the golden retriever’s coat with warm water. Be sure to turn on the bathroom heater in winter to prevent the golden retriever from getting cold!

The third step: Pour shampoo on the golden retriever (be sure to use a special bath liquid for golden retrievers, which can prevent hair loss and prevent hair knots). Do not use human shampoo to wash the golden retriever, because humans The pH of the golden retriever's skin is just opposite. If washed by humans, it will cause the golden retriever to shed a lot of hair. Many people use detergent, which has a strong oil-absorbing ability and will make the golden retriever's coat dull. So be sure to use professional shampoo for dogs.

Step 4: Squeeze the anal glands. Regularly cleaning the anal glands of your Golden Retriever can keep your Golden Retriever clean, avoid body odor, and prevent anal gland inflammation. The anal gland is a vestigial organ of golden retrievers. In the past, when golden retrievers still needed to survive in the wild, they were used to emit stinky odor to scare away enemies. Now it has evolved as the golden retriever's personalized scent symbol. Each golden retriever has its own different scent, which is emitted from the anal glands.

Many times we find that golden retrievers have body odor. Many people say that there is a smell in the house where dogs are kept, which is the smell coming from the anal glands. If treated regularly, the smell in our homes will be much less severe. Squeezing the anal glands is as shown in the picture. Think of the anus as a clock, hold the four and eight o'clock positions and push upwards, and a thick liquid will be discharged. Be careful not to bring your face too close when squeezing, otherwise the liquid will spurt out and smell bad. If the anal glands are blocked for a long time, the fluid squeezed out may turn black. In this case, the fluid must be squeezed out.

Step 5: Rinse the whole body of the golden retriever with hot water. Be sure to rinse the shampoo thoroughly so there is no residue left between the fur. If possible, you can wash the golden retriever with some conditioner after this step. After washing with the conditioner, the golden retriever's hair will be quite soft.

Step 6: Use a hair dryer and a hair dryer to quickly dry the hair. Set the hair dryer to warm air, 10-15 cm away from the golden retriever. Blow the golden retriever's hair straight and comb out the knots. First blow with a hair dryer, then use a hair dryer and a pin comb to comb and blow while blowing, so that the golden retriever's hair can be blown straight and smooth. If you don't wash it like this at home, the golden retriever's hair will probably not be as fluffy as the ones washed in professional pet stores. This is because the golden retriever's hair is not blown straight when washed at home. So be sure to use a pin comb to comb and blow dry at the same time. When blow-drying, comb the needle comb toward the opposite side of the golden retriever's hair.To comb. The water blower plays a big role. Initially, it blows away the excess water and can dry it quickly. The golden retriever's fur must be dried quickly, otherwise it will not be straight and the fluffy and cute effect will not be achieved. If you want to blow it at home, be sure to prepare a high-power hair dryer. If possible, you can buy a hair dryer. Be careful: the hair of a golden retriever must be blown dry from the root. If there is residual moisture at the root of the hair, only blow the surface. If it dries, it will cause golden retriever skin diseases, such as worms, eczema, fungus, etc., which will cause a lot of hair loss. The hair is dull. Remember to blow dry.

Step 7: Wash your ears. Clean your Golden Retriever’s ears with professional ear cleaning solution to prevent ear inflammation, and apply ear oil to prevent infection. (Tips: If the golden retriever's ears are inflamed, there will be a strong odor, which will increase the body odor on the golden retriever and make it very uncomfortable.) If you do not have professional ear cleaning oil at home, you can use medical alcohol, moisten cotton, and directly clean.

As a reminder, for large dogs, you can wrap your index finger with cotton and clean it directly with your hands. Your fingers can directly feel the depth of the Golden Retriever’s ears, whichever is appropriate. If the ear is inflamed, there will be a foul odor and dark red earwax. In this case, you must use ear oil.

Step 8: Cut your toenails. Use special nail clippers for golden retrievers to cut off the golden retriever's longer nails to prevent the golden retriever's nails from being too long and scratching the owner. If the golden retriever's blood line is too long and causes bleeding, hemostatic powder should be used immediately to stop the bleeding and disinfect it. Prepare styptic powder to stop bleeding quickly if bleeding occurs during cutting.
