Dogs get dirty. It doesn\u2019t matter how hard you try to keep them clean, they still manage to pick up dirt, dust and sometimes worse! No one really knows why dogs roll around in dead things, manure, and anything else that is particularly smelly, but the odds are good that at some point your dog is going to get filthy!<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It is quite possible to wash your dog so that you gently and effectively remove the grime from his fur without drying out his coat.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Before You Shampoo<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If your dog is absolutely coated in dirt and smells to high heaven and you have a large dog, start the washing process outside even if you would prefer to use a bathtub or a hydrobath. You may be able to get a substantial amount of the dirt off with a gentle hosing. The key word here is gentle; a strong jet of water on his body could be quite painful. It might take several minutes before you got your dog clean enough that you won\u2019t mind touching him.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve done that, you can either take him directly to the bathtub, or continue washing him where he is. Choose your shampoo carefully; the product you use will need to be gentle on his coat while removing the dirt. Bubbles \u2018n Beads <\/a>is the perfect choice. This two-in-one shampoo and conditioner contains micro-beads full of vitamins and conditioners, as well as coconut oil and amino acids. These help to dislodge the dirt in his coat, and clean his fur without stripping its natural oils.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s Soap Time!<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apply Bubbles \u2018n Beads to your dog\u2019s wet coat, and lather it up so that the shampoo penetrates right down to his skin. This will allow the vitamins and conditioners in the micro-beads to reach the hair follicles, where they will be of most benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Make sure you work the lather into all parts of his coat. Start at his head, and work backwards along his body, down his legs, and right to the end of his tail. Although Bubbles \u2018n Beads is very mild and doesn\u2019t sting, it\u2019s a good idea to keep the lather away from his eyes. You can expect your dog to try and shake off the lather, so be prepared to get a bit wet. <\/span><\/p>\n
