Bringing home a new puppy often feels like bringing home a baby! However, puppies and babies have far different needs, particularly when it comes to bathing. Parents often bathe their infants daily or every other day. A puppy requires far fewer baths, but absolutely deserves a thorough shampoo and rinse now and then. Clean puppies are healthier, happier and sweeter smelling. (more…)

In general, dogs need to be bathed once a month or so. While giving your dog a bath just 12 times per year may not seem like much of a burden, it can be. If you take your dog to a groomer, you’ll incur yet another ongoing expense to keep your pet clean. When you bathe your dog at home instead, you might be in for 12 very long days if your dog isn’t a fan of baths. One reason some dogs are reluctant at best to have a bath is the drying off process. While it can feel like a chore, fully drying ...

Just like their human counterparts, dogs tend to change physically and emotionally as they age. They get arthritis. They become impatient. They experience eyesight or hearing issues. Consequently, bathing your older pooch requires a special touch. Even dogs that once loved bath time may feel scared or show reluctance at getting a bath during their later years. For that reason, you should always prepare for your senior dog's next bath and set aside enough time to make the bonding experience po...

No, No, NO! *Sigh.* That seems to be a pretty standard human response to a canine's bad decision of hopping through a murky puddle. One minute you're trotting along, side by side, not letting a little rain get in the way of your W-A-L-K.

Dog spas offer a place not only for dogs to get exercise and play, but also cater to dogs who need to use water as ...
