Consider the dog's breed and their activities in setting a bathing schedule. It is advisable to bathe the dog only when he or she is really dirty, or they smell unpleasant. Excessive bathing can make a dog’s skin dry and itchy as their natural protective oils that they produce are being washed away. Use a dog shampoo that will moisturize the dog's skin.

Check the temperature of the water first before you begin to wet the dog. If the water is too cold, it will make for a very uncomfortable bath. If the water is too hot, it could hurt the dog and create a very negative bathing experience. Wait for the running water to become warm enough to be soothing, much like you would make a bath for a child. Using a hose with a sprayer or a pitcher will help in gently pouring water over the dog’s body.

Warmer weather is ideal for outdoor bathing. A portable dog bath tub can come in quite handy. Our Booster Bath is an ergonomically designed bath tub that raises the dog to a level that makes it easier and far more comfortable for the owner to do the washing. With a Booster Bath, the dog is contained safely, taking away all the troubles during bath time.

Be sure to keep the all exits from the bathing area closed to prevent any anxious canines from trying to escape bath time. Having a big dog bath tub can take up too much space, which is why owners can opt for our smaller and portable Dirty Dog Bath tub. This bath tub has a collapsible feature for simple storage and is easy set-up.

Use rubber textured gloves when washing a dog. These gloves work well to gently clean the dog while giving them a massage at the same time. The dog will enjoy this relaxing massage and keep him or her tamed during bath time.

Place a rubber mat inside the dog bath tub to prevent your four-legged pal from sliding and potentially getting injured. This will keep the canine inside the tub comfortably and provide additional ease to dog bathing.
