Bath Time for Doggie
As you read in my last post, I just got a new dog. She is great and has settled in quite well. One problem I do have is she is shedding like crazy. I have spoken to my vet and he has said that she has dog itchy skin similar to what happens to humans.
I went right away to search for a product that may help reduce the problem. My previous dog never had dry skin so I just bathed him with any old shampoo. However, with the new dog, I wanted a specialized dog shampoo that would help reduce the dry skin and reduce the shedding.
I went to several pet stores in the area and even the discount department stores. It was hard to find a quality product that was reasonably priced. I knew I could find great Wholesale Dog Products on the Internet so I hit the search engines to find what I wanted at a good price.
I am now waiting for my shampoo to arrive and it will be bath time for my baby. I am not sure how she will react since I have not bathed her yet. I am hoping that she will settle right down and get bathed without a problem.
One big tip that I learned from bathing a dog is to remain as calm as possible. If you get annoyed, the dog will sense it and react in a negative way. Also beware that some shampoos can stain your clothes. For this reason, wear older clothes to prevent ruining a good outfit. Above all, you will get wet. The more you try to stay dry, the wetter you get.
Bath time can be a great bonding experience if you try to enjoy it, the dog will learn that it is a fun thing. I will be sure to keep you updated on how my dog does with her bath.
