Bathing your dog - everything you need to know

When it comes to a puppy, having a routine is very important. 

Bathing should happen once every 15 days. When the puppy is 2.5 months, you can start bathing them. 

Introduction to water and the first experience is critical. 

When it comes to bathing, you can let your puppy be distracting by adding lick pads on the wall and putting peanut butter on them, so they don't get stressed and enjoy the bathing procedure. Use positive words while bathing them. Use puppy/tearless shampoo on them. And when they become big, continue to use the puppy shampoo on the face as if the shampoo goes in their eyes. It won't burn them or cause any irritation.

Always dilute the shampoo and conditioner on the puppy/ adult dog's coat.  Always use high quality shampoos for your puppy.

The ratio is 1:10. 1 ml of shampoo to 10 ml of water.
