How to Give A Healthy Bath to Your Dog

 

Bathing is very necessary for pets, specially dogs. Let's read and know that how can easily bath your dog.

How To Wash Your Dog

Wait 48 Hours After Applying Herbs & Ticks
Before you wash your dog, make sure it is at least 48 hours away from using the fleas and treating the ticks. Washing the dog quickly can reduce efficiency and make it more susceptible to fleas infection or Lyme disease from deer ticks.

Grease Your Dog

Be careful not to remove any mats, knots or tangles from your pet's fur before wetting them. This will not only make it easier for your puppy to wash and bathe, but it will also make brushing later on more fun.

What you will need

Shower Drain Protector: To ensure that your dog's fur does not clog the bathtub in the bathtub, plant in a shower drain protection or hair dryer. You can also put a match sponge in the drain so that your pet's hair does not get stuck in the pipes.

Pitcher or big cup: Some dogs may be afraid of running water or a shower. Using a pot or cup to properly wash your pet can reduce its stress.

Dog Shampoo: Use a pet shampoo designed specifically for dogs. Shampoo and soap in humans can dry out your pet's skin, which can cause irritation; However, if you are in trouble, baby shampoo may be mild enough to use on your puppy.

Wash Cloth: Instead of pouring water on your dog's eyes and ears, use a damp cloth to wipe his face.

Towels: Have a few warm and dry towels in an accessible area to protect yourself from the occasional wet dog movement and prepare yourself when your puppy climbs out of the bathtub. Your dog will also need to be dried as soon as possible after it has been thoroughly cleaned.

Dog Bath Tips

Close the Bathroom Door

In the event that your dog is moving out of the bathtub, make sure the bathroom door is closed to prevent escape.

Use Warm Water

While some people enjoy a delicious hot bath, our furry friends prefer warm water. Not only can hot water not suit your dog, but it can also increase shedding.

Reduce Dog Shampoo for Thick Wool

It can be difficult to wash all the shampoo off your dog, especially if it has a lot of hair. To avoid soap residues on your puppy, rinse their dog shampoo with water. You can also wash them as you moisturize to make the final cleaning easier.

Beware of Their Eyes and Ears

Pouring water over your dog's head can cause water and soap to get into their eyes and ears. Instead of washing their face with shampoo, use a damp cloth to wipe their eyes and the outside of their ears.

Get Out of the Bath

Do Not Use Cotton Swabs On Their Ears

Just as earplugs can tear your ear canal when used inside the ear, cotton swabs can damage your dog's inner ear. That’s why it’s a good idea to avoid using ear cleaners and instead wipe the inner flap of their ears with a warm bath towel.

Do not use Blow Dryer

Many dogs are frightened by the loud noise of drying their hair. Drying machines can cause burns - even when they are in poor condition. As long as you properly groom your pup, most dogs are content to dry in the air or snuggle in the sun after bathing.

Grease Again

Pets with medium to long hair need to brush thoroughly after bathing to remove loose hair. Do this when it is usually dry, as wet hair can be difficult to brush and be at risk of pulling and damage.
