Giving a dog a bath in the home can be difficult especially for large dogs. If possible, search online for a local do it yourself pet salon where you can use a station to literally groom and bathe your dog yourself. If you do have to settle for a bath at home you can take these steps to make the process a little easier. Introduce your dog to the bathtub on a non bath day. Place rubber mats in the tub so your dog doesn’t slip. On the day of the bath, run slightly warm water on the feet and work up. Apply shampoo onto your hands and onto the dog’s back. Gently lather avoiding eyes and ears. Rinse your dog with warm water until the water runs clear. Dry your dog in a draft free area.
