How do you bathe and groom a dog?
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.

Cats aren't really afraid of water — they're afraid of the loss of control when forced into a strange situation and soaked. Bad past experiences make it worse.

Should you use body wash or shampoo to bathe a dog?
