Tired of chasing and wrestling with your dog at bath time? Many dog owners solve this problem by purchasing a raised dog bath, mentioned above. An ergonomically designed dog grooming bathing tub elevates your dog to a level that's comfortable for you and keeps your dog securely contained, taking the hassle out of washing your dog. You'll get the job done alot quicker and saving your back. The raised dog bath is available in most pet shops and online stores. No more slipping and sliding. Your dog will really feel secure standing on the padded non-slip surface.
Does your dog like to get away from you during a bath? Bathing your dog is a challenging, but essential, part of dog grooming. It's funny how your dog will evade you when you try to get him into a dog bath, but will be just as determined to get past you when you don't want him to jump into the water at the beach. If you're washing your dog in a room make sure to close the door so that your dog will not see an escape route or get very far if he gets out of the bath. This way you'll have an easier time getting him back in the tub to finish the job. If your dog takes any opportunity to get away from you at bath time you may want to consider restraining your dog. Restraints are used during bath time to avoid injury to you as well as your pet. Some pet bathing tubs come with restraints included. With these your dog will be safely restrained and you will be able to give your dog a quick and easy bath.
Is your dog slipping and sliding in the bath? What dog isn't slippery when wet? Slipping and sliding can be the most stressful part of bath time for a dog. Put a rubber mat down on the bottom surface of the tub to prevent your dog from sliding and getting hurt.
Things to have on hand at bath time:
Raised Dog Bath - This is a geat idea for a dog bath. If you have the room or more than one dog, you may find it worthwhile.
Pet Shower or Plastic Pitcher - A Pet Shower is great, but if that's not possible make sure you have a large plastic pitcher for wetting and rinsing your dog. Drain Screen - If bathing indoors, make sure to protect your plumbing from hair clogs with a simple to use drain screen.
