Here are a few helpful hints to make cleanliness a less life altering experience.Bath time can be a stressful time for some dogs. Speak to your pet in a friendly, comforting tone. Just hearing your voice will reassure your dog all is well.
If the outdoor temperature is below 65 degrees (19 C) bathe your dog indoors. In addition, most outdoor faucets only pump cold water.
Both pet and baby shampoos work well when bathing your pet. Rinse your dog with warm water before applying shampoo or put a few drops of shampoo in a large container of warm water. Pour over your dog before you wet her to help remove stubborn oils and dirt which have accumulated in the fur. Begin shampooing at the head working your way to the tail. Rinse twice using the same head to tail movement. Use the second rinsing to make certain all the shampoo has been removed from the skin.
Where you bathe your dog makes a difference too. For large dogs try the shower. Medium dogs can be washed well in either a deep sink or the bathtub. For small dogs, try the kitchen sink. Place a towel in the sink or a nonslip mat in the shower for added traction. If possible use a hand held shower attachment to make your life easier.
And don't forget, bring your sense of humor.
