For example, playing with a hose. Dogs especially love this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a good way to refresh your pet, as well as making them happy with the games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even a shower should end with post-shower care, such as drying well and using a moisturizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if your pet isn't used to regular baths, this is a good idea. They'll probably appreciate a hose bath, as it will cool them down on very hot days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will make it easier for them to accept regular baths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And remember: for puppies, always use shampoos designed for their age, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/softcare.com.br\/en\/produtos\/baby\/banho-do-aconchego-shampoo\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"641\">Cozy Bath<\/a> from Soft Care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other tips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure your pet has a pleasant and healthy bath, follow these tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>start baths from puppyhood, so pets will enjoy baths more easily;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>be careful with your ears so that no water gets in;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>give him a toy he likes to make bathtime more fun;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>use shampoos that are suitable for animals and do not irritate the eyes;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>make regular appointments with the vet to see if any changes need to be made to the baths.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Get to know <a href=\"https:\/\/softcare.com.br\/en\/produtos\/dermato\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"110\">Linha Dermato<\/a> from Soft Care, which has specific products for pet skincare, including sensitive and sensitized skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See also other articles related to bathing pets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/softcare.com.br\/en\/dermatite-em-cachorro-dicas-importantes-de-prevencao-e-tratamento\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"13\">Dermatitis in dogs: important tips for prevention and treatment<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/softcare.com.br\/en\/primer-pre-shampoo-a-preparacao-perfeita-antes-do-banho-em-cachorros\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"660\">Pre-Shampoo Primer: the perfect preparation before bathing dogs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/softcare.com.br\/en\/quando-dar-o-primeiro-banho-usando-shampoo-para-cachorro-filhote\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"665\">When to give puppies their first bath with shampoo?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/softcare.com.br\/en\/skin-care-pet-cuidado-especial-para-a-pele-de-caes-e-gatos\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"681\">Skin care pet: special skin care for cats and dogs<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bathing dogs in summer refreshes them and prevents ectoparasites.
