Daily paw washing is a procedure that many dogs disliked, but it is indispensable neither in winter nor in summer. And it's not just about keeping the apartment clean. Where and how to wash a dog's paws - animal owners solve this problem in different ways.
It is necessary
- - bath;
- - basin;
- - soap or shampoo;
- - overalls or special shoes.
Instructions
Step 1
The dirt of city streets contains many harmful components that can irritate the skin of the animal and, moreover, they are difficult to remove with a simple wipe. Therefore, it is necessary to accustom the dog to daily washing of its paws literally from the first walks.
Step 2
If you wash your dog's paws in the tub after a walk, first place a rubber mat on the bottom. This simple measure will save the animal from possible injury. Adjust the water in advance - it is better if it is cool. Remove the attachment - this way the dirt is washed away faster.
Step 3
During summer, when it's dry outside, rinse your pet's paws with water without soap or shampoos. After washing, carefully inspect the pads and the spaces between your fingers. Dry with a towel. If it's damp outside and the paws of the animal are very dirty, use soap.
Step 4
Be sure to wash your dog's paws in winter. The salt sprinkled on the streets irritates the skin of the animal's paws. And this is not the only point. Everything that the dog brought from the street on its "clean" paws, in the future ends up on the floor of your apartment and on the sofa, in a word, where the animal is allowed to climb.
Step 5
Many dog owners prefer to wash their pets' paws in a basin. After returning from a walk, sit the dog at the door. Get everything you need ready. At first, try to do this as quickly as possible. After washing and wiping, allow the animal to move on. Soon the dog will get used to it and will calmly wait for the owner to take off his clothes, take off his clothes and prepare everything for washing.
Step 6
In spring and autumn, when there is slush outside, as well as in winter, many dog owners prefer to show their pets in overalls or special dog shoes, which greatly simplifies the matter. In this case, the dog's paws do not need to be washed. Removing dirt from shoes or overalls is much easier than washing it out of dog hair.
