As temperatures continue to rise in Wheeling, IL, keeping your furry friend comfortable becomes a top priority. Did you know? A good bath not only helps canines cool down during these dog days of summer but also plays a crucial role in their overall health and comfort.
Staying Cool (and Clean) During the Dog Days of Summer
During the summer months – and all of the sunshine and excitement that ensues – dogs are more likely to get dirty and sweaty from rugged outdoor play. Regular baths help to remove excess dirt and oils that can accumulate and lead to discomfort or skin issues. But bathing also helps to cool animals down, particularly when using lukewarm water which aids in regulating their body temperature.
The Health Benefits of a Good Bath
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: a clean dog is a happy dog, particularly in the mounting heat. Bathing not only cleans our pets’ coats but also allows spa assistants to check for any ticks, fleas, or other parasites that might have taken up residence in their fur. This is crucial as many of these pests are far more prevalent in warmer weather. Moreover, a clean coat can prevent potential skin conditions that arise from dirt build-up and helps identify any underlying issues that might not be visible under a shaggy, dirty coat.
