Default Water temperature during bath

I always give my dog warm (not hot) baths. But, is it just us weak
humans that prefer warm water? How could I ever know, if she hates
taking baths anyway?

what kind of dog is she? I would think my Siberian would like cooler
water in the summer- I suspect your dog prefers a warm bath in cool
weather. She probably doesn't want to get either cold or too hot-
unless she is a dog who is often cold. then she might like being
toasty.

my sibe used to do "doggie saunas"- she would lay in the hot sun on the
south side of the house until she would get so hot she would stumble
into the shade. She'd cool off and repeat. :-)

My German shepherd is happy to swim in ice cold water, but when it comes
to baths, she prefers warm water. I can see her visibly relax when the
warm water runs over her...with cold she seems to be rather tense. With
warm she is also more willing to stand still. Her baths are more like a
shower massage.

She's mostly chihuahua, and likes to lie in the sun. I suppose she'd go
for warm water because she's mexican.
