First things first, bathing
We have already said that who adopts a dog that found in the street should give a bath immediately. It is very possible that the animal won't like the water. And for that reason it is advisable to take it to a canine hairdresser, where they will know how to treat him.
Although even if he doesn't like it, the bath is very important in the life of our dog; only respecting that elementary hygienic caution will make sure - and you will give the dog - a calm life. A clean dog doesn't scratch, it doesn't lose hair, and it doesn't get dirty. The hygiene is essential for an animal that lives at home, and you won't have a problem when he takes a seat in our furniture's.
There are different opinions about the frequency of the bath, but the good sense can be synthesized in some few rules:
1. Do not give a bath to a puppy before he turns the ten months; to substitute the bath we can give him daily brushed.
2. The water should be lukewarm and not to warm. It should be used a neuter soap or a soap of sulfur.
3. Dry the dog very well with towels and hair dryer and make him run and play inside the house.
4. When we give him a bath, place him a piece of cotton in each ear, to avoid water getting inside the ears.
