For the health of the dog and family, once a condition is found, it should be isolated in time. If the condition is serious, it should be sent to the hospital for treatment.

1. Skin diseases

This year, the rainfall is particularly heavy, and dogs who go out for a walk are very likely to be trapped under the fur by these little bugs, biting their skin, causing skin diseases to the dog.

Summer is the peak period for skin diseases in dogs, and the main causes include bacterial infection, fungal infection and parasitic infection. These skin diseases not only affect the appearance of a dog, but may also affect their normal life and training.
