Every June and July, the coastal areas gradually enter plum rain. The rainy and cold temperatures are very likely to cause bacteria to grow on the dog's skin and hair and cause skin diseases. Dogs who have had skin diseases before are also prone to attacks. Why are dogs very prone to skin diseases in the rainy season? How should parents prevent it?
1. Why are dogs very prone to skin diseases in the rainy season?
The weather is high and cold in plum rainy weather. The bacteria and parasites adhered to dogs’ fur are more prone to breeding, which is the key reason for itchy and inflammation in the dog’s skin. In addition, getting wet hair on rainy days, not completely drying after taking a bath, etc. is also the cause of frequent skin diseases.
In the hot and hot summer, in order to make the dog more refreshing and comfortable, many owners will choose to shave their hair at this time, which will give bacteria and parasites a more immediate opportunity to invade. Losing hair maintenance and exposed skin is more likely to be exposed to ultraviolet light, scratches, and bites, which are more likely to cause allergies and inflammation.
2. How to prevent skin diseases during plum rain?
Skin diseases cause headaches repeatedly, how to prevent them? I have summarized the following 4 points. Parents should take a closer look~
1. Disinfect the natural environment of the home in plum rainy weather, furniture and wooden floors are also as tide-like, which is more likely to grow bacteria. At this time, it is hot. Dogs like to lie on the ground and fall asleep, which is more likely to cause skin diseases to the dog. Therefore, the natural environment of the home should be sterilized and disinfected frequently, and the road surface should be wiped or dried immediately. Don’t forget to clean and disinfect dog cages and dog nests on time, and put them in the sun when you are in the sun.
2. When going out for a walk, you should prevent the rain from falling into the rain. You can wear a rain poncho for small pets, a folding umbrella for small pets, or immediately walk in the underground garage of residential communities. If you accidentally get wet and dry it completely with a hair dryer after returning home, your feet should not be ignored. You must ensure that they are completely dry. Long-term dampness and coldness are especially prone to skin diseases, such as skin eczema, allergic dermatitis, etc. Areas that will have wounds will also increase the risk of inflammation.
3. Deworming internally and externally on time
In summer, mosquitoes and parasites increase. Dogs like to rub and smell them everywhere, and it is very easy to bring the parasites back. Parents should not forget to remove insects on time. It is also necessary to prevent shaving the dog at this stage to protect the dog from being easily eroded by parasites immediately.
4. Pay attention to nutritional supplements and improve skin resistance. To ensure the physical and mental health of dog hair, it is not enough to rely solely on the surface of medical care, and filling nutrients is also a very critical stage. When dogs lack nutrients such as protein and Omega6, their skin's resistance decreases, and they gradually become very prone to dandruff, swelling, itching, and inflammation. The hair will also grow and develop slowly, be matte, and fall off very easily.
