What happens if you don’t dry a dog after a bath?

Not drying a dog after a bath easily causes chills and colds, especially in puppies with weak resistance, leading to colds or diarrhea from cold wind. Second, dampness breeds bacteria causing bacterial or fungal dermatitis.

Finally, if the dog lies on the floor with undried fur, it picks up dust and dirt—like not bathing at all. Therefore always towel- and blow-dry the coat in every season.
