Methods for bathing Chesapeake Hounds:

Due to their weak resistance, puppies are prone to respiratory infections, colds and pneumonia due to catching cold in the bath. Therefore, puppies under six months old are not suitable for water baths. It is best to dry clean them. Spray conditioner and baby powder diluted more than 1000 times every day or every other day, and brush them frequently, which can replace water washing.

Puppies are afraid of bathing, especially Shar-Pei puppies, who are afraid of water. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in training the puppy to take a bath for the first time. Fill the basin with warm water, put the puppy in the basin, and expose the head and neck. This will make the puppy feel comfortable and will not be reluctant to take a bath in the future.

The correct way to bathe a Chesapeake Hound is as follows:

1. The dog’s head should stand to your left, and your left hand should block the bottom of the dog’s head to the chest. Fix the dog body. Then place your right hand in the bathtub, use warm water to gently wet the buttocks, back, abdomen, hind limbs, shoulders, and forelimbs in order, and apply shampoo (pet shampoo is best).

2. After rubbing it gently, wash it quickly with a comb. Before rinsing, press the sides of the anus with your fingers to squeeze out the secretions of the anal glands. Use your left hand or right hand to cover your ears from the lower jaw upward, rinse gently with water from the top of your head downwards, taking care to prevent water from flowing into the ears, then rinse all parts of the body with clean water from front to back, and immediately Wrap your head in a towel and wipe dry. Long-haired dogs can be dried with a hair dryer. While blowing, the hair should be combed continuously. As long as the dog's body is not dry, it should be combed until the hair is dry.
