Please remember that dog's skin is much thinner than ours so products that are suitable for humans can harm our pets on occasion. If using human shampoo on dogs its best to put it into your hands and rub together then rub onto the dog's hair rather than to squirt it directly onto their skin as it can burn them.

Do not wet the head. Once you have completely finished washing the body, you may wet the head. Gently keep your hand on some part of the head at all times. They will never ever shake.

It's non-irritating and won't burn if it gets in the dogs eyes. Baby shampoo can be bought at the dollar store and smells great! It’s non-irritating and won’t burn if it gets in the dogs eyes.

Never any irritation and their coats are shiny and soft. And the cost savings are considerable when compared to the overpriced dog shampoos found in stores.

You might want to wear glasses of some sort to protect your eyes. I just put on a pair of cheap dollar store sunglasses with light colored lenses.

Pay special attention to those areas when washing and keep those areas trimmed. There are three areas that really cause a dog to smell, their bottom, their private area and around their mouths.

If you are treating fleas or other conditions it might be required to be on for a certain amount of time to be effective. If so, start timing as soon as you have covered the dog with the shampoo. Use that time to continue to lather it up so you are not just sitting there with a wet dog looking to escape. Read the directions on the shampoo.

We stand up normal with him on the floor, the dryer on the lowest level and he just runs back and forth under it. A quick easy way to get him dried. Our dog loves the hair dryer!
