Hello everyone! We hope these tips can become useful for you, and if any of you have any questions in any way, please feel free to contact us or post a reply. We take great pride in our Pet Bathing products and stand behind them.
We recommend having these items on hand before starting: brush, comb or
rake, shampoo, conditioner, shampoo mitt, bathing tethers, bath mat, drain cover,
shower hose with sprayer and towel. We also suggests bathing the pet on a regular
basis and starting early, saying, “Get your puppy used to a bath and you won’t
have any problems when the dog gets older.”
Here are a few tips to make indoor pet bathing easier:
1. Gather all the things you need without your pet present (to reduce the pet’s
anxiety).
2. Place a bath mat at the bottom of the sink or tub so your pet will not slip and the
surface will be protected from nail scratches.
3. Place a screened cover over the drain to catch pet hair before it goes down the
drain.
4. Brush or comb the entire coat. Remove mats and tangles (some areas may need
to be trimmed with clippers or scissors).
5. Place your pet in the sink, tub or shower then attach bathing tethers to the collar
to hold your pet in place and minimize its movement as well as free up both your
hands.
6. Use a shower hose with sprayer and hold it close to the pet’s coat to allow water
to saturate the pet’s coat and skin. (Dumping cups or buckets of water on the coat
typically will not thoroughly wet a pet. They also present difficulty for reaching the
dog’s underside).
7. Apply shampoo to a shampoo mitt for better distribution throughout the coat.
Work the shampoo lather deep down to the skin. Rinse thoroughly with shower
hose until water runs clear. Apply conditioner then rinse until water runs clear.
Shampoo or conditioner residue left on the skin may cause irritation.
8. Let your pet shake off the excess water. Then squeeze out excess water by
running your hands over the pet’s coat.
9. Finish by towel drying. Keep your pet indoors and away from drafts until the
coat is completely dry. Comb or brush, then admire your job well done and
appreciate the clean-dog smell.
10. Gather all the bathing and grooming items and place them in a caddy for
convenient storage and ease of use at the next bath.
Hope this helps!
