How can you keep dog bathing stress-free? ๐ถ ๐
As a rule of thumb, you should only wash your dog if they get really dirty, as overwashing can dry out their sensitive skin and strip away natural oils. When you do need to wash your pup, check out these simple tips for a stress-free bath time! โ
๐ซง Before bathing your dog, itโs a good idea to slowly introduce them to the bathroom over time, giving them lots of praise and treats whilst in there, so that they see it as a fun place to be. ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
๐ซง Prep the bathing space with everything you need before starting. Pop a collar on your dog (that you donโt mind getting wet) to keep them secure, use a non-slip bath mat, and have a towel and bathing products to hand. ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
๐ซง Opt for a gentle shampoo - Pethicalโs Dog Shampoo is the perfect choice - formulated with essential oils, it is 100% vegan, has no nasties and will have your pup smelling delicious in no time without irritating their skin or drying out their fur (link below ๐๐ป๐)๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
๐ซงCheck the temperature of the water to make sure itโs not too hot - it needs to be lukewarm for your dog. Keep water and shampoo lather out of their eyes, ears and face so as not to cause discomfort. ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
๐ซง Rinse your dog of any shampoo and gently squeeze their fur (donโt pull) to get rid of water. ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
๐ซงGive your dog lots of praise and treats whilst bathing so they know not to be scared. ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
With a little patience, bath time can become a fun routine for you and your pup. ๐๐ปโฅ๏ธ
