In the process of raising a dog, bathing the dog is really a laborious task. Although you can go to a pet store to wash it, you cannot go there every day if the weather is hot. Many owners will choose to bathe the dog at home. For some large dogs, bathing the dog is a big project, so many owners are wondering, does the dog have to be dried after bathing? Let me give you the answer below.

Dogs must be dried after bathing, especially dogs with long hair. If they are not dried, bacteria will easily breed and cause skin diseases. Secondly, not drying your dog after taking a bath can also lead to colds and colds, which can induce a series of diseases. Especially dogs whose vaccination procedures have not been completed are prone to viral diseases. Therefore, it is recommended that owners dry their dogs’ hair in time after bathing them.

After the dog takes a bath, the owner can use a hair dryer to help dry the dog's hair. Because some dogs are afraid of the sound of hair dryers, and it is a huge workload for large dogs such as golden retrievers and Labradors to dry their hair with a hair dryer, so owners can purchase a special drying box for pets to help dry their dog's hair. It is worth noting that dogs that are in the vaccination period, those who have failed the antibody test, those who are in their menstrual period, and those within two months after giving birth are not allowed to take a bath.
