How to Bath Your Dog

1. Get all your materials together before you start. Try not to let your dog in on what's going on or he/she may suddenly turn invisible.

2. Step 2
If it's the first time for your dog or puppy to have a bath, make it into a fun game with treats and a cheerful voice. Maybe you can con the little critter into believing this is fun. If you can, baths are likely to be easier in the future.

3. Step 3

It's a good idea to put cotton with a little Vaseline on it into the ears before washing to keep water out. Don't push the cotton in deeply.
4. Step 4



Did you say "bath"?
Use a gentle soap that is appropriate for your dog's kind of coat. You will probably want to use a conditioner for a longer-haired dog. It's optional for shorter coats.
5. Step 5
You can wash your dog in a tub outdoors or the sink depending on both dog and sink size. You can even buy dog sinks and tubs for installing in grooming areas. Some people opt for just using a hose outdoors. Much will depend on how agreeable your dog is to being bathed and what fits into your home and lifestyle.
6. Step 6
Pay special attention to feet, anal area, and under parts. With a longer-haired dog, trim off mats before bathing. Just behind the back of the ears and the upper, inside part of the legs where they join the torso are common places for mats to form.
7. Step 7


As soon as your pup is out the bath, RUN! Or expect to get wet as all fur is furiously shaken and water is distributed everywhere.

8. Step 8


Use a big fluffy towel to dry off your pup. If the weather is cold or you have a long-haired dog you might want to use a hair dryer. There are doggie driers built especially for this purpose. Whether you use your own dryer or one for dogs, get your dog used to the sound before trying to blow him/her dry. Many dogs will not like it so they will have to be acclimated slowly.
9. Step 9
Brush loose hair out when your dog is dry and give lots of attention, treats and play so the memory of a bath remains a positive one for your pet. Maybe if the experience is a good one, you'll both survive the next bath, too.

Things You'll Need:
• dog shampoo
• optional conditioner for dogs
• towel
• cotton and Vaseline
• optional tub
• warm water
• wear clothes you won't mind getting wet!
• Dog brush
• Optional dryer

Caring for Your Dog

Your dog gives you a lifetime of unconditional love, loyalty, and friendship. In return, she counts on you to provide her with food, water, safe shelter, regular veterinary care, exercise, companionship, and more. Take care of these ten essentials, and you'll be guaranteed to develop a rewarding relationship with your canine companion

How to take care of your Dog

Feeding- Most dogs need to be fed once or twice a day depending on the dog ask your veterinarian to find out how many times. Make sure it’s the same amount of food at the same time(s) each day. Make sure their water bowl is always full with clean fresh water. Do not overfeed or give them sweets (like chocolate) which could cause serious problems even death or dairy products, which is hard for them to digest.

Grooming- Most dogs need to be groomed at least twice a week, depending on your dogs coat type. Brushing your dog helps its coat stay healthy, mat free, and odorless.
Ears- All dogs need their ears cleaned. Depending on the dog, you might have to clean them daily or weekly. Cleaning dogs' ears are very simple, and this is what you will need:

Cotton balls
Q-Tips
Baby oil
First wet the Q-tip with baby oil. Go into the dog's ear and wipe the ear out thoroughly, you can use as many as needed. Then take the cotton ball and put baby oil on that. Stick the cotton ball in the ear and twist it inside the ear to clean it, and that’s it, your done!
If your dog is prone to ear infections or just got one, try this remedy before spending a fortune at the vet.
Blue Powder Ear Treatment
1 16oz bottle of rubbing alcohol (pour off an inch to make room
16 drops of gentian violet (ask the pharmacist for this-it is cheap)
4 Tbs of Boric Acid Powder (its also at th pharmacy-cheap too)

Mix all ingredients together. Shake the bottle really well and fill the ear canals once a day. Let the dog shake the excess out. Its really best if you do this out side because the gentian violet can stain.

 Dog ear yeast infections are increasingly and re-occuring may cause the dogs affected a lots of pain and discomfort, and not to mention the financial cost of repetitive Vet visits for the Owners. Now try this Natural and Safe, No more Vets Or Chemicals Just All Natural And Safe.  
Nails- All dogs need to have their nails trimmed. If they are not trimmed, the dog will start limping in pain. You can have it done by a groomer or do it yourself with a special kind of dog nail clippers (you can buy them at any pet supply store or over the internet).


 Now Cancel is the No. 1 killer of all Dogs and in 3 out of 1 gets Cancer, take care of your dog or puppy and annual check-up is necessary. Remember Cancel is the No. 1 Killer.

Vet Visits- When you get a dog you have to have an annual check-up to make sure every thing is all right with the dog. If you find something on the dog or with the dog that might be a problem and does not go away within three days you should also go for a visit. The last thing you should worry about is that the dog has all its shots and make sure you know when to go and get all of them.
Chewing- All dogs need to chew. If you don’t provide them with some thing to chew on they will find something. There are a lot of things a dog can chew on like a squeaky toy, nylon bone, or rawhide. The only problem with rawhide is that some dogs can not process it and it is not good for the intestines.

Heal your dog Naturally. At Last,  there is a Book that reveals the underlying causes of your dog's health problems that your Vet doesn't even know about so that your pet can live a longer, healthier and happier life.
Walking- When taking your dog out keep him on a routine. Dogs tend to learn how to housebreak faster and
have a tendency to make less mistakes in the house.
