Tip for Shorter Bath Time for Dogs with Heavy Undercoats




Brooklyn's Mom, Cate has found a way to cut Brooklyn's bath time in half and save water and shampoo. Brook has a very thick coat, with thick under coat. It used to take a long time to get the shampoo worked down to the skin and Brook was not a happy pup about that. I'm sure it wasn't a picnic for Cate either.
So Cate had this idea of trying to work the shampoo in before wetting her down. Since the undercoat repels water the shampoo got worked into the skin before the coat had a chance to fight off the water.
Cate says it is much more efficient this way, saving time, shampoo and pout time:-)
Have fun with it! Let me know if you have a time saving or helpful hint for your dog's health and happiness, oh, and yours too!
