How to Wash Dogs

                   Dogs are most humans’ friends. Besides, dogs are common pets, for they are loyal and smart. If people have their own dog, they can not only focus on playing with dogs. Washing dogs will also be an important and necessary thing because it’s good for dogs’ health. Actually, washing dogs is not a simple task because some dogs won’t wait until their owners wash them, and some of them will be irritable. They owners should follow some steps to wash dogs. 

 

               First, before their owner put the dog in the bath.  They should adjust the temperature first. Sometimes, the reason that dogs become irritable in the bath is the improper temperature. The most appropriate temperature is not absolute, and it depends on the dogs’ reactions. If the temperature is fit for dogs, they will stay in the bath without too much overreaction. 

              Second, using shampoo to clean up dogs includes two things that people should notice. First, do not use shampoo for people to wash dogs. Second is people should avoid hurting dogs’ eyes when they are shampooing the dogs. Besides, people can easily get dogs’ shampoo in any pet store. 

                 After people wash off all of the bubbles on dogs, they also can leave their dogs play in the water for couple minutes. The last step is blow-drying with a dryer. And make sure the dogs won’t get cold. Then, their owners are finished washing their dogs. Their owners should wash dogs at least once a week because it is better for the dogs’ health and the family’s health.
