Every time you give your furry baby a bath, is it like a war?

My hair is still messy after washing? What’s going on?

//Preparation before bathing//

2 dilution bottles (used when diluting shower gel and conditioner)

One flea comb, needle comb, comb, hair dryer, bathing gloves, absorbent towel, and bath towel

After preparing the tools, you can start taking a bath~

Step one: comb your hair before bathing

Combing your hair before bathing is very important.

Use a pin comb to comb the hair from the base of the feet upwards layer by layer. When encountering knots, be gentle. If the knots cannot be removed, apply some olive oil or cut off the knots and then comb them.

The purpose of combing hair before bathing:

If the hair is already tangled, rubbing it after soaking it with water in the bath will cause the knotting to become more serious, and combing it later will increase the pain of the furry child

Check whether there are skin diseases or other injuries, and promptly detect and treat them

Comb out large pieces of dirt in advance to achieve deep cleaning

The more carefully you comb your hair before bathing, the smoother your hair will be after washing~

Step 2: Flush

Before taking a bath, feel the temperature of the water on the inside of your arm. Just make sure it doesn't feel hot.

Flush slowly from bottom to top in the order of "legs - body - head" so that it can gradually adapt to the water flow.

Note:

For thick hair, rub it with your palms dipped in water

If this is the first time you take a bath, wrap the shower head with a towel to let your furry get used to the water flow

Dogs’ heads are relatively sensitive, so be careful when rinsing to prevent water from getting into the eyes and ears

The third step: scrubbing

After your dog is fully wet, you can apply shower gel!

Pour the diluted shower gel on your hands and apply it evenly to your dog’s body.

When applying shower gel, start rubbing the dog’s back, and then rub the chest, limbs, buttocks, tail and other parts.

What needs to be noted is:

When scrubbing, make circles with your fingers along the hair of the whole body

Be careful not to get foam into your eyes. If there are large pieces around your eyes,If the secretion cannot be removed by rubbing, you can use a flea comb to remove it first, and then scrub

The hair around the mouth is prone to food residues, so special attention should be paid to cleaning it

When cleaning your paws, pay attention to washing between the toes

After washing, rinse the foam away, and then follow the above steps to wash again.

You need to wash it twice to completely remove the stain~

Step 4: Hair Care

After rinsing off the shower gel, pour the diluted conditioner into the palm of your hand, and then apply it all over the body along the hair. Apply the conditioner deep into the hair by pressing with your fingertips. After application, rinse thoroughly.

Step 5: Dry

After the dog's body is completely rinsed with shower gel and conditioner, use your hands to squeeze the water from the dog's body downward along the direction of the hair.

The absorbent towel should be pressed, starting from the head, and wiping down the whole body. Pay special attention to carefully drying the water near the eyes and ears.

After wiping, wrap it in a bath towel.

Step 6: Blow dry

The blow-drying step requires two people to operate at the same time. They must comb the hair while blowing. If the situation does not allow, you can prepare a hair dryer hanging neck holder in advance.

When blowing hair, comb wherever the hair dryer blows, starting from the head. When combing, comb backwards, so that the hair will be fluffy.

When blowing your dog’s ears, use your thumb to block the ear canal to prevent the hair dryer from being too loud and scaring the dog.
