Pets are like treasures that require careful care, and their cleanliness and hygiene cannot be ignored. This article will provide you with a detailed introduction to 7 indispensable pet cleaning projects, helping you comprehensively create a healthy and comfortable pet living environment.
01 Comprehensive Guide to Pet Cleaning
◉ The importance of combing hair
Brushing pets' fur every day not only helps reduce their hair loss, but also maintains their clean and energetic appearance. In addition, this action can further enhance the emotional connection between pets and their owners, making pets feel happy and enjoy the process. When combing, special attention should be paid to the dead corners that pets find difficult to reach, such as the corners of their mouths, armpits, and behind their ears, to ensure that these areas are also thoroughly cleaned. At the same time, combing your hair before taking a shower can make the bathing process smoother and more thorough.
◉ Appropriate bathing frequency
The frequency of bathing for dogs is generally determined by the season: once every 7 days in summer, once every 10 days in spring and autumn, and once every 14 days in winter. But the specific frequency of bathing also needs to consider the dog's body size, body odor level, hair volume, and cleanliness. Cats, on the other hand, are relatively clean and tend to take care of their fur, so they usually take fewer showers than dogs. However, the specific frequency of bathing still needs to be determined based on the actual situation of the cat. Both cats and dogs should avoid showering too frequently, as it can easily lead to colds and even cause skin symptoms such as hair loss, dandruff, redness, and itching. In addition, pets who are sick or have just been vaccinated should consult a doctor before deciding whether to take a bath, as bathing may not be appropriate in certain special circumstances.
◉ Clean pet toes
The bottom pads and toes of pets are the support for their walking, and they are lively and active, often climbing high and low, which inevitably leads to contamination with various dirt. Especially after walking the dog, we need to carefully inspect the dog's feet to see if there are any foreign objects embedded. Once discovered, immediate cleaning should be carried out. After cleaning, you can use pet wipes or specialized foot cups to wash the dog's feet, which can thoroughly clean the dog's toes and is convenient and fast.
◉Regularly clean pet equipment
Pet utensils, such as bowls, smart feeders, and water dispensers, require us to clean them regularly. Regardless of the season, we should ensure that the food provided to pets is fresh and the water source is clean, which helps maintain their gastrointestinal health. Usually, in summer, we recommend cleaning the food bowl once a day and changing the water in the water dispenser every 2-3 days for cleaning.
In addition, other pet supplies such as leashes, chest harnesses, and toys can also be soaked in detergent, cleaned, and air dried to remove mites and insects to prevent skin diseases.
◉Maintenance of Pet Nests
Pet beds are essential places for pets in their daily lives, as they are prone to accumulating body odor and bacteria. Therefore, regular cleaning and sun exposure of pet beds are crucial. They can be exposed to sunlight on sunny days or treated with deodorizers and deodorizers to prevent odor and bacteria, ensuring the cleanliness and tidiness of the pet beds.
