Tips And Tricks To Make Bath Days Bearable For You And Your Pooch
If you are a dog owner, you can relate to the aftermath you witness after bathing your dog. The movie scenes or the perfect Instagram pic where the dog enjoys a splash, and the people are like a fairytale. The reality is closer to the hilarious videos where dogs don’t want to take a bath!
But here are some tips for you to make this weekly challenge hassle-free and smooth.
The Pre-requisites!
Before making your dog’s bath, make sure that you have certain things ready and at your service. Here is a list of things you must tick before taking your dog into the waters.
Brush Their Hair
If your dog has long hair, then this is a must prerequisite that you can’t skip over. The hairs get tangled, and once wet, they are a tedious task to detangle. Moreover, the hairs that fall off can clog your drains. Thus, detangling the tangles and a thorough brushing eliminate excess hair; it also keeps the drain clean.
Block The Drain
No matter how efficiently you brush them, there always lies an unavoidable chance of the dog hair finding its way to the drain. Thus, block the drain with steel wool to prevent hairs from flowing into it.
Stock Up The Supplies
Ensure that all things you need while bathing your canine friend are at one hand apart to ease up the process and reduce the splatter. Make sure that the products you use are dog-friendly and do not harm them or their coat. If you are not sure, talk to the vet about the ideal shampoo for your breed.
Put Anti-slip Mats
Lay anti-slip mats on the tub walls so that your dogs can stand on them without slipping and avoid the spilling and splattering of the water.
Use Towels
Ideally, laying three towels (one at the bottom, the other to soak the splashing while you are grabbing stuff, and lastly to dry the dog) will ensure that there is not much water to clean off after bathing the dogs.
