All cats require water treatments from time to time.
In this case, the frequency of bathing depends on the age of the furry friend and some other factors.
There are several signs that indicate that it is time to bathe your pet.
When to bathe
Pets can keep themselves clean on their own.
But the animal must be bathed if it gets dirty. In addition, water procedures will definitely not be superfluous during the period of intensive shedding of the pet.
During this period, it is especially important to carefully care for the fur of the fluffy one in order to avoid the appearance of tangles and other problems.
Also, you can't do without bathing if your cat has fleas. In this case, you need to use special means to combat parasites.
How often to bathe
The frequency of bathing depends on the age of the pet. For example, kittens under four months of age should not be bathed at all.
Adult cats should only be given water treatments when necessary.
At the same time, it is advisable to bathe long-haired pets more often.
When you can't bathe
Before giving your animal water treatments, it is important to consider some factors.
You can't bathe fluffy animals right after eating. You should also avoid bathing if your pet has recently experienced severe stress.
In addition, bathing may be contraindicated in the presence of infectious or skin diseases.
It is also not advisable to bathe pregnant and lactating cats.
