Bathing your dog
Sometimes time or finances prevent us from having our dog professionaly bathed at a groomer. Or sometimes, we AND Fido both enjoy it more if we do it at home!
Tips for giving your dog a bath at home:
- if your dog is afraid of being in the bathtub, wait for warm weather and do it outdoors
- make sure to get a shampoo and/or conditioner that is made for your dog's sking and coat type
- make sure the water is warm but not hot, body temperature is best
- most dogs don't "shake" until their neck and head gets wet. To save yourself from being soaked, wash this part last
- make sure to tip your dogs head up and avoid getting and water in his eyes or ears
- dry your dog thoroughly. He may seem plenty warm, but damp fur will make him chilly and uncomfortable

One of my dog park friends told me about a "doggie bathtub" that he uses with his husky and I bought it off of their website (<a href="http://www.boosterbath.com">www.boosterbath.com</a>) It's elevated to waist level, has a built in leash restraint and a non-slip mat and drainage... this thing is AWESOME! The fan nozzle attaches to your garden hose and there is an available add-on "Tropic Shower" that hooks up to your washing machine so you can give your dog a nice warm bath. It would be great for small dog owners too because it would be a LOT easier on your back!!! And of course you avoid having to muck up your own bathrooms and tubs. Not to mention it is WAAAAY more affordable than going to the groomers.
