Cleaning your dog in the winter can be more of a challenge because of the cold temperatures. However, when your dog gets dirty, it becomes a necessary task to clean your dog. If you have to give your dog a bath in the winter, it is important to keep your warm after the bath.  To help keep your dog from freezing after a bath, here are some tips to follow when bathing your dog:Â
- Keep some warm towels handy for after the bath. Warm towels are great for keeping your dog warm and will easily dry a dog with short hair.
- Use a hair dryer to dry your dog’s hair. A hair dryer works great for quickly drying your dog’s hair. Keep your dog confined to a small area when blow drying and remember to keep moving the dryer around, so you don’t burn your dog’s skin.
- Use a dry shampoo on your dog. If you don’t have a warm place to wash your dog, a dry dog shampoo like the Gorgeous Dry Shampoo for Dogs and Catsis ideal for cleaning and conditioning your dog’s coat. This shampoo contains oatmeal protein and aloe vera, which is ideal for healing dry skin and great for use in the winter.
- Use pet wipes for a quick cleaning of your dog’s paws. The wet weather is great for creating lots of muddy spots in your yard and using pet wipes, such as the Muddy Paw Wipesby Petsafe, makes cleaning your dog’s paws easier and quicker.
Keeping your dog warm and clean in the winter is easy when you use a warm towels, a hair dryer, waterless shampoo or pet wipes. Your dog will smell cleaner and fresher and your house will stay cleaner. For a great selection of dog grooming products, check out GregRobert Pet Supplies for hundreds of grooming products for your dog.
