A walk in the rain can be great fun for dogs, but proper care afterwards is important. A wet coat, mud and cold can cause discomfort if your dog is not dried and cleaned properly.
With a few simple steps, you can help your dog feel comfortable again quickly.
After a rainy walk, it is best to do the following:
• Dry the coat thoroughly
Use a soft towel to remove excess water.
• Clean the paws
Rinse away mud and dirt to help prevent irritation.
• Brush the coat
This helps remove tangles and dirt.
• Let your dog rest somewhere warm
A warm resting place helps your dog settle and recover after the walk.
This simple routine helps keep your dog clean, comfortable and cared for after a wet outdoor adventure.
