Bathing your pet

First brush your pet to remove loose hair. Then put on a rain coat, your going to get wet. Place your pet in a tub with a non-skid surface. Hold your pet’s collar firmly and then slowly pour several pitchers of lukewarm water over his body, being careful to leave the head dry. Be ready they will spray you with water when they shake and they will.

Soap your pet’s’ body with a Pet shampoo
, then massage the soap into a lather, talking to your pet and praising him. When his body is lathered, move to his head, being careful to keep shampoo out of his eyes, ears and mouth.

Rinse and dry your pet’s head, then rinse his body. When the water runs clear, rinse one more time. Be prepared her it comes, the shake.

Thoroughly dry your pet with towels.

Bathe smaller pet’s such as poodles and schnauzers every two or three weeks, except in the winter when once a month will probably do. Larger pets need bathing several times a year. Of course, always wash a pet when it is dirty or smells, regardless of when it was last bathed.
