Re: Do u bath ur dog?
Hi im new but i own a cocker and he has a bath every 2 to 3 months. If not he smells real doggy and his coat between cuts is like a old mop. It soaks up muck, mud and water, but you are right it can dry the skin and strip the oils from the coat. I use bob martins dog shampoo it always seems to make his coat shiney and has never irratated him.He doesnt mind his baths at all.
I always bathe my dog on the retun trip from the kennels as i worry in case of cross infections between the amount of dogs there and the disinfection they use seems to annoy his skin.
My grooming lady is very good and she keeps his shampoo at hers for his pampering and cut. He adores her and im so pleased hes happy to go and get sorted. I do find i have to clean his ears as they seem to get real mucky as he drags them through god knows what.Normally its what foxes have left behind, i normally cant stand the whiff. Ilove my dog to bits even if he is a bit doggy sometimes. They love us unconditionally what ever even if we sholud whiff to, do you think.?
