Be sure to rinse all the shampoo and conditioner off the dog. If you leave any of this on the dog, it will get itchy skin.

Drying the dog can be a very wet experience because it will start to shake the water off. You will get wet! The best thing is to put your dog on the blanket or towel and put another towel over his head. Use another towel to dry off its back and legs.

You can use a hair dryer but be very careful. Dog hair can burn and this is not good. Use a very low setting on the hair dryer. After the dog is dry, give it another brushing to make sure there are no tangles or loose hair.

Of course, be sure to tell your dog how lovely it looks and give it a doggie treat!

The Pet Lady says:

Most dogs don't need a bath more than once a month. Bathing too frequently can dry out the skin and coat.
