Six Steps to Bathing a Small Dog

Steps for bathing a smaller dog:

1. When taking a bath, hold the dog's collar with one hand to prevent it from jumping out of the bathtub. You can lay a layer of things on the bottom of the basin to prevent the dog from slipping.

2. Hold the collar with one hand, and apply the bath liquid on the dog with the other hand, except the head. Rub it well with your hands and massage its skin in the opposite direction of hair growth.

3. Wash the dog's head with both hands, rub out the foam and massage its hair gently.

4. Before washing the dog's body, rinse its head and dry it. When the hair on the dog's head is wet, it will shake its head to dry the water.

5. Next, rinse the dog's body with clean warm water, and rinse its fur. Wring the water off its fur. After wringing it out, dry it with a towel, carefully drying the ear and the inner wall of the ear. Dry the area under the collar.

6. Dry the dog's fur thoroughly with a towel.

Essential tools for dog bathing:

1. Bathtub: According to the size of the dog, prepare a bathtub suitable for the dog. If it is a large dog, you can let the dog stand in the bathroom.

2. Pet-specific shampoo: similar to human shampoo, but the ingredients are different from those commonly used by people. It is recommended that you use pet-specific shampoo.

3. Large water cup: After shampooing the dog, it can be used to wash the dog's body with foam.

4. Towel: Please prepare a special towel for the dog, and use the towel to dry up the excess powder on the dog's body.

5. Cotton swab: When bathing the dog, the water can easily reach the dog's ears. In order to prevent the dog's ears from being infected, you can use cotton swabs to wipe the dog's ear canal.

6. Hair dryer: Finally, use a warm air hair dryer to dry the dog's fur. This can make the dog's hair dry faster and reduce the dog's skin diseases.

7. Grooming tools: Use grooming tools to help dogs comb their coats to avoid knotting.
