How To Bath Dog In 5
Minutes or Less
Do you dread giving your dog a bath? Is it a big soapy mess? Do
you let your dog go without a bath for weeks because it is too
much of a hassle?
Well, you're not alone.
Human shampoos are
too acidic for a dog's
skin and can dry it out |
There are other challenges to washing your dog.
Professional groomers are always a good option ... provided
it's in your budget (not always the case -- especially these
days).
If bathing your dog has become a challenge or you want to
give it a try to save some money, then I have a few tips for
you.
Here they are:
>>>Before you get your dog
involved, gather all the things you'll need and prepare the
bath area.
>>>Place a bath mat at the bottom
of the tub so that your pet will not slip and fall.
>>>Place a screened cover over the
drain to catch pet hair before it goes down the drain.
>>>Start by brushing or combing
the entire coat. Remove all the mats in your dog's coat. Some
areas may need to be trimmed with clippers. If the coat is
matted with sticky material, try soaking the area with mineral
oil for 24 hours.
>>>Put a drop of mineral oil in
your dog's eyes to protect them from suds. Some people also put
cotton balls in their dog's ears.
>>>When using a spray hose, spray
low and hold it closely against your pet's coat so water
saturates the coat and skin.
>>>When your pet is completely
wet, apply shampoo to his back and then work it through his
coat for about 3-4 minutes and rinse twice.
>>>Now let your dog shake and dry
him off with towels and keep him warm until he is completely
dry.

If a dog is bathed too often the skin will be
stripped of its natural, protective oils. This will
result in dry itchy skin, which will cause your dog
to scratch, further irritating the already
sensitive skin. |
Finally I want to tell you about a product that can make the
actual bathing process MUCH easier.
It's so easy, even the kids can do it.
The product is called RapidBath® and it
uses the same powerful washing technology found in professional
dog-grooming tools.
I bought one last month to use and think it is an excellent
product, and it could make bath time much easier for you and
your dog.
P.S. - This product works great for indoors
and outdoor bathing, and attaches to garden hoses and shower
heads.
If you want more information you should be able to buy
this product from most pet stores.
