What to Do If a Dog Is Soaked by Rainwater

Saint Bernard (detailed introduction)
When owners take their dogs out, they should try to choose good weather. If the dog is soaked by rainwater, the owner should immediately dry the dog after returning home and use a hairdryer to dry it thoroughly to prevent the dog from catching a cold. Because when dogs run in the rain, dirt from the road sticks to them, the owner should comb the dog again after drying to remove the dirt. If there are clumps of dirt, the owner can wet the fur and then clean it.
For long-haired dogs, if they are soaked, the owner should give the dog a bath immediately after returning home. Bacteria and some parasites can easily breed in the wet fur of a dog, and since long-haired dogs make it difficult to detect these in time, this often causes delays in treatment. When bathing the dog, it is best for the owner to choose antibacterial and antiparasitic shampoo. After the bath, dry immediately with a hairdryer.
If the dog you have is not long-haired but is soaked all over by rain or even muddy water, you should also give it a bath.
In addition, if the dog is soaked in cold weather, besides bathing the dog, the owner should also prepare some warm water for it to drink to prevent it from catching a cold. If you notice any abnormal condition in the dog, you should take it to the vet for an examination promptly.
