What are the precautions for bathing a French Dou? The water temperature for bathing a French Dou is preferably around 36 degrees Celsius in spring and summer, and around 37 degrees Celsius in autumn and winter. Be sure to use dog shampoo to bathe your French Dou. Do not bathe your French Dou frequently. It is best to wash it once every 1 to 2 weeks. It is best not to wash it in weather with high humidity. After bathing your French Dou, you must dry it promptly. Dogs that have not completed their vaccinations cannot be bathed.

1. The water temperature should not be too cold or too hot

Pay attention to the water temperature when bathing French bulldogs. It should not be too cold or too hot. Generally speaking, 36 degrees Celsius in spring and summer and 37 degrees Celsius in autumn and winter are suitable. If you are not able to control it well, you can put the water flow on the back of your hand to test. If you feel a little warm, it is just right when it is neither cold nor hot.

2. Use dog shampoo

Some owners think that French bulldogs stink, and the bath liquid we use is so fragrant, so if we use it to bathe our dogs, it will definitely remove the stink. But we need to know that dogs’ skin is different from that of humans. The bath liquid we use is not suitable for dogs, and may also cause hair loss and skin diseases in dogs. If you want your dog's hair to be more beautiful and smooth, you can usually feed it natural food containing deep-sea fish oil, and then use it with a dog-specific bath liquid. The dog's hair will be smoother, and bathing will be easier and more convenient.

3. Do not take frequent baths

In fact, the time when bathing a French Dou is also particular. You should not bathe too frequently, which can easily destroy the natural oil protective layer on the dog's body; but you should not bathe only once every few months, which can easily cause the dog to get skin diseases. . In fact, it is best to bathe your dog once every 1 to 2 weeks. It is best to avoid weather with high air humidity, especially cloudy and rainy days.

4. Blow dry in time after washing

We all know that after bathing a French Dou, you must dry it in time, otherwise the dog will easily catch a cold. However, some owners think that it is summer anyway, and the French Bulldog's hair is relatively short, so they simply don't blow it to save trouble. It may also be because some French Bulldogs are more resistant to having their hair blown and are afraid of the sound of the hair dryer. Do some training on this day, for example, before blowing the hair, reward a small piece of snack chicken jerky, dried chicken chips or a small amount of dog food to let the dog calm down before blowing. In addition, use some low-volume hair dryers. Don’t think about letting your dog dry naturally, as bacteria can easily breed~

5. Do not take a bath before the vaccine is completed

When some owners first bring their French bulldog puppies home, they feel that the dog stinks so they blindly bathe the dog. But in fact, dogs that have not completed the vaccination cannot be bathed. At this time, the dog's resistance is very weak, and bathing can easily make it catch a cold, and cause canine distemper and other fatal diseases to the dog. If you can't stand your dog's stinky smell, you can use a towel dipped in warm water to wipe the puppy's body. You can also buy pet-specific dry cleaning powder or no-rinse foam to wipe the puppy's body.
