When can a golden retriever be bathed? A golden retriever can only be bathed after it is 2 months old and about two weeks after it has been vaccinated. If it is a puppy purchased or adopted, it is best to allow it to fully adapt to the new environment at home. Give it a bath again; when bathing a golden retriever, the water temperature is best at 37°C, and it is best to use a pet-specific shower gel.

It is best to bathe your golden retriever when it is 2 months old, because the body of a golden retriever puppy before 2 months old is not strong enough, and it is easy to catch cold and get sick if you give it a random bath at this time.

In addition to being two months old, you should also note that you can only bathe your golden retriever about two weeks after it is vaccinated. During the vaccination period, the immunity of golden retrievers is not stable enough, so it is best not to take a bath. After vaccination, the body of a golden retriever puppy will produce antibodies, making its body stronger and less susceptible to colds. If you give your little golden retriever a bath at this time, it will be less likely to get sick.

Also, if you buy or adopt a little golden retriever, it is best to let it go to the new environment for more than a week and have basically adapted to it before bathing it. When a golden retriever arrives in a new environment and has not yet adapted to the environment, it is easy to be nervous and nervous when taking a bath. It may struggle and bark during the bathing process, making bathing difficult. And it may cause it to have a shadow on bathing, and it will no longer like bathing, so you have to wait until it adapts to the environment before bathing.

Pay attention to the frequency of bathing. In hot summer, it is best to bathe your golden retriever once every 7-10 days. In autumn and spring, you can bathe once every 15-20 days. In cold winter, the bathing time can be extended. to once a month or so. If you usually take your golden retriever out to play, it is best to promptly remove the dust and dirt from the hair after returning home to keep the dog's body clean and tidy.

We need to remind everyone that when bathing a golden retriever, the water temperature is best at 37°C. Too cold or too hot will cause harm to the golden retriever. And it’s best to use pet-specific shower gel instead of human dish soap or shampoo, because the pH of dog’s skin is different from that of humans, and rash use of human cleaning products will cause damage to the dog’s skin. And be sure to dry it immediately after bathing and blow dry with a hairdryer, otherwise you will easily get skin diseases.
