(3) Then you can begin dampening the hair on the body of the dog with shampoo. Begin from its neck and go gradually down its tail. You create a soapy coat so that fleas can not jump across the safety of the non-soaped area of the dog’s body.

(6) Then you can dry your dog’s body with the help of a towel.
(7) The cleaning of the dog’s body must be complete in all respects. There are dogs that run around the house after the bath and rub their bodies against sofa and bed clothes.
Dogs show unwillingness for bath. As a result, the skin gets infected. You need to lure your pet with something or other to get it bathed. Be careful while putting shampoo on its body. In no case, it should go to its eyes. Vets can advise the right kind of tearless shampoo. Water must not enter in the ears of your dog. If you dog is resisting then it should be gradually made familiar with it without the application of your force. Use warm water while bathing it inside house.
