You will always want to keep the beautiful golden coat of your dog shiny and healthy looking. This can be achieved by giving him a regular bath. This is part of Golden Retriever grooming. Following these simple steps on how to bathe your Golden Retriever will help keep your dog well groomed and healthy.
The Preparation
Brushing
Before bathing your dog as part of your Retriever grooming process, brush your dog's coat gently and comb out all tangles and knots. Skipping this process will tighten the tangles and knots as it gets wet.
Bathing Area & Tools
Always prepare things you might need on hand before proceeding with the next step. Ensure that you place them within your reach for easy access as you work on your dog's bath.
Your dog may enjoy getting washed outside the house but the water might be too cold for him. A dog tub or your bath tub is a better option when giving bath inside the house.
Use dog shampoo for dog baths. Medicated shampoos are recommended if your Retriever has fleas and psoriasis. Conditioner helps prevent tangle hair on your dog. Let it sit in for few minutes before rinsing thoroughly. A towel will make drying easy.
Bath Condition
Ensure that your water is not frigid cold or piping hot. Warm water should be comfortable for your dog.
Protecting the ears, begin saturating the dog starting at the nose up. Apply your first shampoo. Work up to lather all over his coat. Use enough shampoo to saturate the layers of coat. Once you have covered the whole coat, take a brush gently brush the coat in direction of its growth.
After rinsing, apply your second shampoo and repeat the same brushing procedure.
Bath your dog at least once a week.
Drying Your Dog's Coat
Your Golden Retriever grooming is not complete if you do not follow this most important part of the grooming process.
Dry your pet with a thick, absorbent towel or cloth large enough to cover his entire body. Start at the bottom of his leg working up towards the body and end at the head. Do this in both sides of the dog.
If your dog is not afraid of hair dryers, you can finish this drying process using this tool.
As you end the drying process on your dog's coat, be sure to mist lightly with condition solution the entire Retriever. Brush in the direction of the growth of the coat. Avoid over brushing.
A clean dog means a happy owner. Make your dog's bathing experience an enjoyable one for both of you. Bathing is one way to keep your dog looking good and healthy. Practice good Golden Retriever grooming regularly. You will spend longer and happy years with your faithful friend.
