Some tips on pet bathing:
- Brush out pet first to get rid of mats and help calm pet down.
- Make sure pet has a stable nonslip surface to stand on and check water temperature.
- Protect pets’ eyes and ears. Trim nails and clean ears prior to bath.
- Select a pet approved safe shampoo, and conditioner. Wet coat completely before and after bathing, rinse well, towel off. (can use slightly warmed towels from the dryer).
- Ozone bathing is amazing! Inquire about purchasing an ozone bath to help sanitize your pets skin naturally and help with allergies. Household water purifier or small animal friendly
