How to Prevent Dogs from Getting Skin Diseases
German Shepherd (detailed introduction)
In the process of raising pets, it is inevitable to encounter various problems, and dogs getting sick is certainly unavoidable. However, many problems dogs have are caused by improper feeding methods or negligence by the owner. Nowadays, the incidence of skin diseases in dogs is gradually increasing. So how can we prevent dogs from getting skin diseases? There are many issues we need to pay attention to.
When going for walks, some dogs like to run into bushes, but bushes are often places where dogs easily get fungal infections because many dogs relieve themselves in the grass, causing the bacteria count to increase. Therefore, it is best to keep the dog on a leash and walk along the roadside, minimizing contact with grass. If the dog needs to urinate, doing so near the roadside grass is sufficient.
Another important cause of skin diseases is pet bathing. Many owners bathe their dogs multiple times a week for cleanliness; some even bathe them daily. Such frequent bathing greatly reduces the skin’s resistance. Thus, bathing frequency must not be too high. Also, after bathing, their fur must be thoroughly dried; otherwise, it’s easy to cause skin diseases. So, how to prevent dogs from getting skin diseases is closely related to our daily care. Only by paying attention to these small matters can we prevent their occurrence.
