Dogs do feel clean after taking a bath and that's only part of the problem. Dogs have sensitive noses with a heightened level of smell being one of their superpowers. Clean smells have a tendency to irritate their senses, causing them to crave a more “natural” scent.
Do dogs feel good after bath?
Dogs go crazy after a bath for a range of reasons from relief, to happiness, to an instinctual desire to return to a more familiar scent. Whether you call it a FRAP, the crazies, or the zoomies, the bottom line is, post-bath hyperactivity is a thing.
Why is my dog so happy after a bath?
Dogs have nervous energy that gets pent up as well, and bath time is a common trigger. And once that stressful bath is over you'll see it being released. Once they're finally free from the tub they often exhibit the “zoomies” or “FRAPS” (frenetic random activity periods).
Do dogs care if they are dirty?
The scent is actually aesthetically pleasing. We are, after all, different species. It makes sense for dogs to enjoy the smell of something we want to hose down. Dogs simply love to play and getting dirty is just part of this.
Do dogs understand a bath?
Dogs are very sensitive to smells… so some of the stuff we use on them must feel overpowering. The way we bath them is foreign to them. They don't understand why its happening, and they don't see dirt, smells and such as we do.
