General Bath Care Tips for Dogs
Ever struggled with a squirming, unhappy pup during bath time? Professional groomers Shannon and Tanya reveal game-changing secrets that transform this dreaded chore into a positive experience for both you and your furry friend.
The most surprising revelation? The critical mistake happens before water even touches fur. Shannon explains, "If you wash your dog with mats or tangles already on them, you're compacting that hair more, tightening it around the skin, and potentially causing hot spots." This simple oversight can lead to painful skin conditions requiring complete coat shaving. Their advice: always brush thoroughly before bathing.
But how often should you bathe your dog? While it depends on coat type and lifestyle, Shannon recommends a schedule ranging from bi-weekly to monthly, with "conditioner baths" in between for high-maintenance coats. For quick clean-ups, pet wipes or chamois towels work wonders. And while professional grooming products offer excellent results, household items like Dawn dish soap can effectively cut through grease when needed.
