You might get away with spot cleaning your dog on occasion
but at some point he may get smelly or dirty enough that he needs a full bath.
And regular baths are essential to keeping his skin healthy. Whether your dog
loves or hates baths, you need to be efficient. Gather all bath supplies
together in one place. Brush your dog well to remove excess hair that could mat
when wet. Wet your dog down with lukewarm water. Lather him up with dog-safe
shampoo while avoiding the eyes, nose and mouth. Don’t forget to soap up the
groin, the armpits, and in between the toes. Rinse your dog quickly but
thoroughly, again with lukewarm water. Towel off your dog and brush him to
remove tangles while taking care not to hurt him by pulling too hard. Keep him
inside and warm until he is completely dry. For more information, contact your vet Fort Bragg NC.
