dry shampoo vs wet shampoo?

Also, I bought the "Spotless Paw" http://www.spotlesspaw.com/ It is not as good as washing but it is better than mere brushing! That looks interesting. My dog loves massages. I'll have to see if I can have one sent here. doug |

There is no hose attachment at the side of my house, so I have to run a long hose from the kitchen through the house and out the side door. Controlling water temperature is a problem. I don't know if it would work for you, but we've got a hand-held shower head, the kind with a shower massage, and it's great for washing Zoot in the bathtub. We put a rubber mat in the bottom of the tub so she doesn't slip (this simple thing made baths SO much less stressful!) and we use a natural gentle dog shampoo (don't remember the brand offhand). The hand-held shower head makes it eeeeeasy to rinse her and to control the flow of water. They're not expensive at all - $20 - $30, as I recall. Now of course, Zoot's 40 lbs, so getting her into the tub isn't a problem. This might not work for a large dog. We've got a do-it-yourself dog washing facility in town - they provide everything, you do the work and pay according to weight. Perhaps there's something similar near you? We wash Zoot a few times a year. Her face gets washed daily: http://good-night-irene.com/images/s...udioPets03.jpg Irene Thanks for your note. Tao is 57 lbs, but liftable. I used to do him in the bathroom, but the hair cleanup was such a trial! It may be my best solution. I've never heard of a dog washing facility like that here, though it is possible to have him washed in the local pet stores. Expensive though - like $50!!! doug |
