Dog Grooming

A Dog Bath should start At the Beginning:
Your Dog’s Head

A popular dog bathing technique is to start at your dog’s head and work your way toward the tail. This is especially the case if it’s possible that fleas are present. If you know that your dog has fleas you’ll want to use a flea & tick shampoo. Starting at your dog’s head forces any fleas to gather away from your dog’s face, eyes, and ears. It is much easier to dunk the rear of your dog into the tub than your dog’s face. As you may imagine, your dog is likely to be much more cooperative by following this simple dog bathing technique.

Prepare your pet for a dog bath by getting your pet used to the sound of the running water. If you’re using a tub or basin fill it with a few inches of warm water. Then get your dog into the bath.

Starting from the head….thoroughly wet your dog with warm water. You can use a plastic pitcher or a pet spray nozzle for this task. If you’re using a spray nozzle make sure the spray is not too strong. Never spray water directly onto you dog’s face or genitals.

At The Pampered Pup you can choose from a wide selection of pet shampoo/coat conditioner. Apply your shampoo/coat conditioner. Follow the instructions on the package. Work it in from the head to the tail. Be sure to get all those nooks and crannies; like the rectum, between the toes, behind the ears and under the chin. Be careful not to get the shampoo in your dog’s eyes. Rinse your dog thoroughly with clean warm water. Shampoo residue can cause
uncomfortable skin irritations. So make sure you give your dog’s coat a thorough rinsing.

Towel drying your pet’s coat in the dog bath will remove some of the excess water before you take your dog out of the tub. Some breeds should never be rubbed, only patted, since their coats easily tangle.

When it’s time for a dog bath most dog owners often prefer to use dedicated pet towels. There are pet drying towels available that will absorb 10 times their weight in water. These are very handy towels to use for a dog bath and can also be used any time your pet gets wet.
