First prepare dog-specific shampoo, since a dog's skin pH differs from humans and human shampoo damages the sebum layer, causing hair loss and itching. Mix shampoo and water at 1:10, wet and massage the coat ten minutes, then rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly to avoid chills. Finally trim paw fur, clean ears, and brush; longer coats can be styled.
