Procedure for Bathing Your Dog

Prior to starting to give our dog a bath, prepare all the equipment for bathing and grooming. These equipment would be rubber mat, hair dryer, comb or brush, towels, cotton balls, ear powder, ear wash, nail clippers, cotton swabs, mineral oil, toothpaste, toothbrush, blunt scissors, small pitcher, stripping knife and a couple of dog treats. This is so that you will have them where you need them once you need them.

Also, before plunging him in his bath, it would be wise to thoroughly brush his coat. You can remove the mats and tangles using blunt scissors or a stripping knife, as bathing can make these worse.

Make sure to put some kind of rubber matting in the base of the tub, to avoid slips and slides while bathing which could hurt him. If you have a smaller dog, a rubber basin could be sufficient enough. Remember to fill the tub with only a couple of inches of water.
