How often should cats take a bath?

It is recommended to take a bath in the second half of the year to ensure the health of cat skin. Some shovel workers have made great efforts to keep the cat clean. As long as the skin is healthy and there is no odor, it is ok to take a bath once every six months. Of course, in principle, the high temperature in summer is more likely to produce odor and be polluted by fungi and dust. It is suggested that short-haired cats take a bath once every two months (depending on the actual situation) and long-haired cats take a bath once a month (depending on the actual situation).

First, the precautions for bathing the cat

1. Don't take a bath when the cat is unwell or sick, so as not to get sick with a cold.

2. Just weaned kittens don't take a bath, and just leave the mother cat soon, and their resistance is weak and they are easy to get sick.

Cats within 3.6 months should not take a bath often, which is easy to get sick.

4. Don't take a bath within 2 weeks after vaccination, because cats may have local or systemic reactions after vaccination, and bathing will cause other diseases.

5. Don't take a bath in the late pregnancy of the female cat to avoid miscarriage.

6. After bathing in summer, don't expose the cat to the hot sun to avoid heatstroke.

7. Pay attention to keep warm in time after bathing in winter to avoid getting sick.

8. Don't take a bath too often. Skin elasticity and cat fur luster are maintained by sebum. Taking a bath too often will cause a lot of sebum loss, resulting in decreased skin elasticity, skin diseases, rough and easy to break. Generally, indoor cats are washed twice a month, and outdoor cats are washed once a month.

9. Prevent water from entering ears and eyes when taking a bath.
