Probably The Best Way to Bathe Your Dog That You’re Not Doing

It’s Time to Bathe Your Dog Again…Oh God!

it’s your day off of work, you’re sitting at home relaxing.  Your dog comes up to you…and the realization (or odor) hits you…you need to give him/her a bath.

Whether your pet is good about being bathed or not, there are number of things to keep in mind when doing so.  More and more people are using a hand held shower head to more easily clean their pet…

…Myself included.  I work full time and have a number of hobbies and don’t want a simple task to take longer than it should and be more difficult than it should.

Installing one like the Danco VersaSpray shower head (the one I have) is super easy, and instructions can be found by clicking here.  Attachable shower heads are typically very cheap and can be found on Amazon.

Before Using the Shower Head, Try These Tips!

1. Before bathing, brush your dog to get rid of as much shedded hair as possible. Access hair retains water for longer, which can be avoided by brushing.
2.  Make sure the water isn’t too hot!  If it burns your skin, it will also burn your pets!
3. Talk to your dog with a soothing voice throughout the bath to calm him/her down.
4. Rinse thoroughly!  Soap caught up in your dogs fur can dry up leaving behind residue and drying skin.  Imagine if your entire body was covered in hair and how easy it would be to get dandruff…Well dogs can get dandruff too, and this irritates their skin.  Rinse at least a couple of times!
5. After rinsing, if you are using a hair blower, use the cool or warm setting, not hot!  Just like hot water can hurt your pet’s skin,  so can hot air!
6. Reward your dog when it’s over.  Your dog does not necessarily know that your are bathing him/her for its own benefit.  Giving them a treat or playing with them afterwards ensure to them that you were not just being an a**hole, and that you still care…

Bathing your dog is a necessary evil in any pet owners life, but the reward of having a clean dog with a clean coat is priceless.  An attachable shower head like the one I have, just makes the whole chore of bathing your pet much less painful.  Do you really want your dog flopping around in stagnant water, especially if he/she is muddy?
