If in the case of children it is obvious to most people that cold water for washing is contraindicated for them, then with animals it is not so simple.
Many cat owners often mistakenly decide that hair is a sufficient reason to wash the animal with tap water.
Let's figure out what the consequences of this are for your pet and why you shouldn't do it.
Can you wash a cat in cold water?
When the hottest time of the year comes, many owners of furry animals are puzzled by the question of how to make their pet's life easier during this period.
However, you should not immediately try to do this with cold water. Despite the warm fur, the animal feels temperature changes no worse than a person.
The thing is that the most comfortable water temperature for bathing cats is 32-29 degrees.
If the bathing water temperature is lower, the cat will simply freeze. And hotter water will cause pain to the pet.
