A dog can be bathed only one week after getting a microchip. After implantation, let the dog rest quietly for a week, avoid bathing and strenuous exercise, to ensure the chip’s safety and stability and help the wound heal quickly while lowering infection and complication risks.
If the dog shows any abnormality during this period or the wound becomes infected, consult a veterinarian promptly.
