II. Steps for giving your dog a bath at home


Before giving your dog a bath, comb your dog's coat smoothly. In the process of combing, you can comb away the hair that has fallen out and comb away the knots to reduce the more serious situation of tangled hair after wet water. Check the dog carefully for injuries, skin diseases and the like, and then roughly clean up the dust and shed hair.
