Can't get your dog in a bath?

Large dogs are always difficult to bath yourself because they are very hard to lift into the bath or you may have a rule where you don’t allow the dog upstairs and in some cases that is where the bath is.

For what ever reason you can’t get your dog into a bath try doing it outdoors in the summer or using a kitchen floor in the winter, what ever suits you. Arrange you kitchen to have space and put old towels or sheets on the ground.

Fill a few buckets with warm water, not too hot or it will be uncomfortable for the dog. Wet your dog with water from a sponge so that it does go all over the ground. With a second sponge, apply some dog shampoo and lather and then rinse with the first sponge with clean water. Keeping rinsing until the coat is rid of the shampoo. In hot weather rinse off with a garden hose, a bit of fun and it helps rinse them quick.
