Booster Bath


 
Bathing Your Dog With The Booster Bath

Gather everything together that you will need to bath your pet, such as :towels, combs, a brush, shampoo, conditioner, scissors, clippers, gloves, cotton balls , flea shampoo if necessary and q-tips. Let's avoid the frustration that sometime incurs when we've forgotten something. That's not the best start for this project especially if you're someone who is easily frustrated. But, like the Boy Scouts say "be prepared!
Cleanliness and proper grooming are all a part of your goals to keep your pet healthy. Bathing your pet is only one of the many things you need to do to keep your pet healthy. Besides who wants to hug a smelly dog.
It's important to brush your dog before beginning the bath to remove tangles and matted hair. Water can increase the matting and tangles .Matted hair can be very painful and cause skin irritations for your dog. It may be necessary to clip the areas where you may not be able to remove something the dog got into such as gum or from products around the house. Its best to remove the substance and related matting before it causes skin irritation or creates a sore spot that causes your dog to scratch these areas due to discomfort.  
     
Finding a place to bath your dog without making a mess can be challenging. When bathing your dog outside you don't want to create a mud puddle. Nor do you want to give your dog chills while bathing him in the cold water from the garden hose.
Some people do not like the idea of bathing their dog in the family bath tub. .Cleaning up wads of dog hair and removing tub scum left by the dog, is a job no one in the house wants to do. Some family members may be unnecessarily concerned about bacteria left in the family tub after bathing the dog in it. It may  just feel unsanitary to them. Another option is to take the pet to the groomer and let him handle it, but that may be too expensive for some of us. 


Dog Hair Care Products

Basically the only shampoos and conditioners that should be put on your dogs are the ones that say this is for dogs" Products made for humans do not contain the right solvents, oils ,nutrients and pH for your dog. When choosing a shampoo and conditioner it is important to read the ingredients and directions for how to use it. They are a large variety of bath products so it is important to choose the right one for your dogs coat. Use flea shampoo only if necessary( your dog has active fleas on its body)
During the bath especially the first time it is important to not startle the dog at the beginning of the bath by spraying a burst of water into his face. You don't want to induce any new anxiety's relating to bath time.  Its best to start with a gentle flow towards their feet. Allow  the dog some time to acclimate to the water temperature and force. Allow the dog to get use to the sounds of the  water. All of this will make bath time easier.
Be sure to read the directions before using the conditioner. Some conditioners need to be rinsed out well . Just like some shampoos, conditioner left on the scalp can cause irritation to the dogs skin. Other conditioners are what is called the leave-in kind.   It's not necessary to rinse them out and they do their job well.
      


Drying Your Dog
After the bath it is important to rinse the shampoo out thoroughly. Residue from the product can cause irritation to your dogs skin.. Use a towel to dry your dog. Try to absorb as much water as you can from the dogs coat (avoids chills and shaking) Depending on your dogs coat you have to consider if rubbing is the right way to dry your dog or is it better to dry the dog by patting to avoid creating tangles. A great product I've seen advertised on TV is a towel that is  supposed to be able to absorb up to twenty times it's weight in water. Their great for anytime your dog gets wet. ( Next time I see the commercial I will write down the name and the price of the towels and let you know more about them.


Your Attitude

Avoid the anxiety you felt in the past every time your dog needed a bath. Put those hassles and the anger from chasing your dog around the neighborhood for an hour  behind you. Today's the day with the ***Booster Bath*** it will be done just right. Make bath time a treat for your dog and get his full cooperation. If your irritated at the start of the bath because the dog got into some unmentionable smelly something  or you had a salty discussion with your husband or son your dog will be able to feel the frustration and discord. Its going straight down your arms and into your hands and right to your dog. I am not saying you should feel like a bird in the summer breeze when you give your dog a bath,  just that the best time to bath your pet is when you are well rested and not feeling stressed.

You need an ergonomically designed dog bath that puts the tub at the right height and provides a warm comfortable water temperature for the dog. It will certainly satisfy  both of your needs.
