Haven’t you wondered why your dog seems to go hyperactive after a bath? Here are some possible reasons why dogs get the after-bath crazies:

The scent of the soap and shampoo may be too strong for their senses and they are trying to shake it off by running around and rolling on the ground or floor. Rolling around on their mats or on spots where they usually stay in can also help them regain their natural smell.

Another possible explanation is the feeling that they have when air moves across their wet bodies, which can be enhanced as they move around faster.

Rolling around and shaking their bodies also helps them get dry quicker. Dogs hate the weight of the water on their hair coat and will try to shake it off. It is also a natural canine instinct to keep their coat dry because it is their best protection from the elements.

If your dog has a coat and/or skin problem, a visit to your Plano, TX animal hospital can go a long way in addressing the issue. Visit this website Coit Hedgcoxe Animal Hospital and set an appointment.
