Abstrakt: Background: The effect of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )-rich water bathing on the skin has been studied extensively in humans. However, there have been few studies evaluating the impact of CO 2 -rich water bathing on canine skin physiology and barrier functions.
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of artificially carbonated water (ACW) bathing on skin parameters in healthy beagles.
Animals: Six healthy beagles with no history of skin disease.
Materials and Methods: Body temperature, skin temperature, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin hydration and skin blood flow were evaluated before and after single ACW bathing (37°C, 20 min) with a CO 2 concentration of >1000 ppm.
Results: After ACW bathing, skin blood flow significantly increased (p < 0.0001), yet there were no significant changes in body temperature (p = 0.3124), skin temperature (p = 0.4911), TEWL (p = 0.5167) or skin hydration (p = 0.3084). There were no adverse events during the trials.
Conclusions and Clinical Importance: Artificially carbonated water water bathing could potentially increase skin blood flow without affecting skin temperature, body temperature and skin barrier function in dogs, similar to its effects in humans.
