Give Your Dog A Bath

Dog Bathing Instructions as seen on Dogster.com
1. Place a rubber mat in the bathtub (Fig. A). This will give the dog a secure footing and will help it relax.
2. Be sure all supplies are within your reach (Fig. B).
3. Put a cotton ball in each of the dog’s ears to keep out water (Fig. C).
4. Place the dog in the tub. If the canine is a large model and you are unsure of your ability to lift it, seek help.
5. Rinse the dog thoroughly with warm water, using a spray hose if available. Hold the nozzle as close to the dog’s body as possible. Do not spray it in the face.

EXPERT TIP: Throughout this process, it is important to stroke and reassure the dog frequently (especially if it is not used to bathing).
