A puppy in the bath can be loads of fun or a little drama, depending on how used to it the puppy is. Some dogs love water and others try to escape, so it helps to make the first bath calm, with lukewarm water and lots of gentle petting.
Dogs do not need baths nearly as often as people. Usually a bath every month or two is plenty, or whenever they get really dirty. Bathing too often strips away the natural oils that protect their skin and can leave it dry and itchy.
Always use a shampoo made for dogs, because their skin is different from ours and people shampoo can dry it out. Keep water and soap out of the eyes and ears, rinse thoroughly so no suds are left behind and dry the dog with a towel or a blow dryer on a low, cool setting.
Brushing before the bath removes tangles and loose fur. Afterward, a treat and some play help the dog link bath time with something good. Kids can help by petting the dog and handing over the towel, always with a grown-up nearby.
