How to Properly Bathe Your Dog?
Frequency:
Short-haired dogs → Every 4-6 weeks.
Long-haired dogs → Every 3-4 weeks (or when dirty).
Curly-haired dogs → Every 2-3 weeks to prevent tangles.
Hairless dogs → Every 2 weeks, as they have more sensitive skin.
Step-by-Step Bathing Guide:
Brush the coat first → Removes loose fur and prevents matting.
Use lukewarm water → Avoid hot or cold water, as it can cause stress.
Apply a small amount of shampoo → Massage gently, avoiding eyes and ears.
Rinse thoroughly → Leftover shampoo can cause irritation.
Towel dry and air dry → Use a soft towel and let your dog dry naturally or with a low-heat dryer for long-haired breeds.
How to Introduce Puppies and Anxious Dogs to Bathing?
Start slow – Let your dog explore the bathtub before adding water.
Use treats and praise – Make bath time a positive experience.
Keep it short – Begin with a quick rinse and increase bath duration gradually.
Use a soothing voice – Speak calmly to reduce anxiety.
