Whether your dog loves to flop around in a tub of water or is terrified of baths and thinks they are a punishment for something, bathing your dog is very important. Regular baths keep your dogs smelling great, prevents skin and fur problems, keeps them pest-free, and makes them much more soft and pettable. Okay, maybe that last one is more of a perk for you, but still: Bathing your dog is important. Don't worry if you cannot do it often. There are dog baths in Seattle where your dog can have a nice spa day. But how often should these baths and groomings happen? What Vets Say Any veterinarian will tell you that regular baths are important for your dog. And, actually, many vets can provide special shampoos and dips to help your dog fight specific problems, like flea infestations or other pest issues. Because baths keep dogs’ bodies clean and healthy, most vets recommend that you bathe your dog at least once a week. Baths, along with grooming their hair and trimming their nails, keep dogs happy, healthy, and comfortable. Best of all, bathing also addresses immediate health concerns and can even prevent future problems like heartworm. The Problem The biggest problem with this recommendation is that few people have the chance to bathe their dog once a week. Some people barely find time to bathe themselves and take care of other hygiene issues like flossing. If you aren't trained with bathing dogs well, it can be a long process to even get your dog into a tub, much less actually bathe them correctly and clean up the mess afterward. Just because you find it tough to take care of your dog's hygiene needs you are not a bad pet parent. You're just busy. The Solution The solution to this problem is leaving your dog at a pet spa near you. Dog baths in Seattle are great places to leave your pet because professional groomers can address your dog's hygiene needs, keep them safe and comfortable throughout the process, and return your dog to you with a nice grooming—and smelling great, too. Face it: Having to bathe your dog once a week sounds like another weekly nightmare on par with having to wake up Monday morning. Leave your dog at the spa. This will make both of you happy, especially because your dog will be so much healthier when they are clean.
