QUICK & EASY STEPS TO CLEAN YOUR DOG.
Bathing
Brush dog’s coat before bathing, this will help remove dead hair and debris. This also separates hair and stimulates circulation. Make sure that all mats and tangles are removed. In a warm bath work a good
lather through the dog’s coat to the skin. Be sure to do the entire dog; tail, under stomach, and pads of paws. Rinse dog starting from the head and working your way down the dog’s body. Before removing dog
from the tub, ring out excess water from dog’s coat. Place dog on a mat to towel dry, this will help speed up the drying process.

Drying
Before you start drying, brush through the dog’s coat, working out tangles and loose hair. Start blow drying from the roots and work your way down. You can work the brush through the dogs coat while drying
to make the coat thicker.
Cleaning Ears & Trimming Nails
Remove ear dirt by using a cotton swab with ear cleaner or hydrogen peroxide. Use a dry swab to soak up excess moisture. Holding the paw, carefully snip off the very tip of each nail, be careful not to cut
into the “quick”. Edges can be filed to make a smooth finish.
Finishing Touches
Brush hair to style (be creative; use hair bows or scarves)
Add perfumes to enhance smell.
