How To Properly Wash Your Dog
It doesn’t matter how effective it is if you don’t know how to bathe your pooch properly. Thus, you must
ensure that you follow the steps below properly to notice how effective the shampoo is. Of course, these are not necessities but we do advise that you follow them thoroughly if you want a squeaky clean pooch.
- Before the bath – Make sure that your pooch is knots free. This means that you have to brush the animal in order to remove any dried up dirt or knots caught in the pet’s hair. You must prepare the room before because a mess will be inevitable.
Make sure that the water is lukewarm and there is an anti-skid mat inside of the bathtub. As well as, lay waterproof towels or sheets so that the floor doesn’t get soaking wet. As well as, keeping some treats for good behavior is always welcome by the pets.
- During the bath – You must make sure that your pet is slowly getting introduced to the water. This means that you must keep the shower spray at minimum speed and keep it at the top as they get used to the lukewarm water. In addition to this, keep the water and shampoo away from their eyes and ears.
You can do this by applying a little petroleum jelly around the sensitive areas. Use one of the models we have mentioned and lather it in with a brush. Rinse it thoroughly until there are no more bubbles coming out of their hair.
- After the bath – You should take the pet out the bath yourself, instead lift the pooch out and place it on the waterproof mat that you have already positioned. As well as, wrap the dog in a towel that absorbs the water and please do not rub them dry because you will create knots that are difficult to brush out. Tap them with the towel because they will probably shake the water off anyway.
In comparison to human shampoos, dog shampoos are softer and help maintain the pH level of the skin. The formula is suitable for their type of skin and besides keeping them clean, it also makes them smell fresh.
For treating itchiness, you can opt for Calily Life 2 in 1 or Pro Pet Works Pro Pet Wash.
Other common issues like skin infection, or scaling, as well as parasitic infections, can be very easily treated with Veterinary Formula Clinical Care.
