These shampoos have been specifically Ph balanced for dogs and have a much lower chance of causing irritation to their skin or coat. You should also look for a shampoo with a strong, fresh fragrance to combat those first few romps and rolls through the dirt that your pet will inevitably take. You will need several old towels to help dry your dog after the bath, clean up the mess around the tub, and provide traction for your pet to stand on during the bath.

The water in the washbasin then had to be changed once again as it had started to go cold, the care and I then repeated the same procedure with Dots legs and feet. Heath (1995) sates that feet and nails require special attention to prevent infection, odours and injury tissues. Once we had sprayed some of Dots deodorant on I first asked her if she wanted to wear her own clothes, she turned her head. However when I asked her if she wanted to wear a night dress she nodded her head so we placed a new, clean fresh night dress on her.The bed was re made which involved the moving and handling of the patient, and then I proceeded in removing my apron and washing my hands which removed any transient bacteria, and reduced the risk of cross infection, Dougherty (2004) states that strict hand washing before and after patient contact can reduce rates of infection.
