Who's Dirty Now??

The Materials

The Location

      So this week my tip is going to be on giving your pet a bath. I am going to tell you the process, however, through pictures mainly, instead of lots of words. Maybe seeing the images will help you achieve the dog cleanliness you desire. :) 

Get Them Good and Clean

      It is important to keep your first mate clean and flea free on a regular basis. This keeps them and their skin smooth, shiny, and healthy; not to mention they smell good after baths. The materials you will need is some good flea shampoo, and I like to use a scrubby brush. *Dawn dish detergent kills fleas like nothing else!* 

My little dog, Max, is a Maltese. He

is very spoiled and as you can tell in some of these photos getting a bath is not really his thing. 

Make Sure to Wrap 'Em Up Tight 

Show 'em Some Love in the Process

      The whole process of giving your pet a bath requires one main

ingredient, patience. Most animals, unless you get lucky, hate getting wet unless they like to swim, so be patient and gentle with your pet during this process. Make sure you scrub them really well and get in all those hard to reach areas as well. *I promise, your pet may not like you right after the bath, but they will lick and thank you later. 

      Now that we are all clean and all wrapped up you can now send your best friend back outside to get dirty once again! :) Have fun with bath time! 

**One last tip, I mentioned that Dawn works really good on fleas, it does! It will kill them all right there in the tub. However, it is known to dry their skin out, so make sure that after you use the dawn you also use a regular doggie/pet shampoo. This will make sure you have no fleas and your dogs skin is still smooth and healthy!**
