If you have a dirty dog that is hasn’t been washed all winter, now is a great time to start your spring cleaning off right by giving your dog a good scrub in the tub.  Clean off dirt and grime that has accumulated over the winter to make your dog look and smell fresh and clean.  Use a good, deep cleaning cleanser and plenty of warm water to get your dog’s coat looking great.  After cleaning, follow-up witha conditioner to help soften and detangle the fur and blow dry for a polished look.  Choose a shampoo and conditioner that will complement your dog’s coat:

• If you dog is really dirty and stinky, use the Stinky Dog Shampooby Bobbi Panter.  This shampoo is made with oat and vegetable protein and a combinatiof of lavender, rosemary and aloe vera to give it a nice, fragrant scent.  This shampoo is sure to make your dog smell great and is formulated to be tear free and gentle. 
• If your dog’s coat feels dry and brittle and his or her skin is flaking, use a shampoo like TropiClean Papaya Plus Pet Shampoo to help moisturize and condition the coat and skin.  This shampoo may be used on dogs or cats and is made with papaya, which makes the skin and coat look healthy and shiny.
• For dogs, who need a quick shampoo, but also need a conditioner to detangle hair, use the Bad Hair Day 2 in 1 Shampoo / Conditioner for Dogs to make cleaning a breeze.  This shampoo and conditioner is formulated to give your dog’s coat a good cleaning, while conditioning the coat at the same time.  This makes your dog’s bathing time quicker because it reduces the need for conditioning your dog’s coat and makes your finish grooming much easier.

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: 

• 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.
