Preparation for bathing the Odda Hound

1. Use a comb to comb all the Odda Hound's hair, comb the waste hair to avoid tangled hair, and observe whether the dog has skin damage or skin disease.
2. Adjust the water temperature to about 38 degrees, which is the most suitable temperature for dogs.
3. Prepare dog-specific shower gel, bath towel, hair dryer, brush, cotton balls for ears, etc.

The process of bathing the Odda Hound

1. Wet the Odda Hound body. If the dog is afraid of the impact of the water from the nozzle, you can choose to fill the basin with water and give it gently to the dog. The dog wets itself.
2. Apply shower gel to the dog, and gently brush the dog's body with a brush. Pay attention to brush the armpits and toes of the dog, and carefully clean the dead areas.
3. Rinse the whole body of the Odda Hound and rinse the bath liquid clean. Be careful not to rush the bath liquid into the eyes. If unfortunately the bath liquid gets into the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and apply eye drops afterwards.
4. After cleaning, dry the hair with a bath towel. Moist hair can easily cause skin diseases.

Precautions for bathing the Otterhound

1. Do not bathe the Otterhound too frequently, as it will destroy the water and oil balance of the dog's skin and lead to skin diseases.
2. You can use a hair dryer to dry the dog's hair. The hair dryer should be about 10 cm away from the dog to avoid burning the dog.
3. Do not use human body wash. The pH of dog’s skin is different from that of humans. The chemicals in human body wash are not good for dogs’ skin.
4. Do not go out immediately after taking a bath to avoid catching a cold.
