Baths can seem so scary to puppies, just like a spooky Halloween trick. The best way to get them desensitized to bathing is to just keep doing it when they are young! Our puppies had a bath before their vet appointment the other day and they were of course very upset, it’s scary! 😱 But, if you look at Hayate in the 3rd clip, who is on his 2nd bath — he is much calmer and understands the process already. This is how they learn and this helps make baths a little less scary when they’re adults.
Shiba Inu have a weird myth where people think their dogs never need a bath but, the truth is that they’re no different from any other breed. A regular bath every 1-2 months is amazing for their skin and coat. It also helps cycle out loose undercoat and keeps the coat cycling properly like it should! Don’t fall into the myth trap and think your pup never needs a bath. It keeps them clean and healthier in the long run. 💞
