Not all dog owners pay due attention to washing their pets' paws after a walk, and that's a shame.
This is fraught with serious consequences for the health of both the pet and its owner.
We'll tell you about typical mistakes when washing your dog's paws.
Irregular washing
It is essential to wash your dog's paws after every walk.
Even if the paws seem clean, they are not, they are full of dangerous bacteria.
Hot water
In cold weather, you should not immediately wash your dog's paws with hot water, as this can lead to rupture of small blood vessels, hematomas, and even tissue necrosis.
Start with cool water and gradually increase the temperature.
Washing without soap
Without detergent, you will only wash away the dirt, but the bacteria will remain.
Tar soap
Yes, it is a cheap and effective remedy against dirt and infection, but it dries out the skin very much and leads to the appearance of microcracks.
Use gentle products suitable for daily care.
