dog in shower

[ilovesprouts]

would anyone bath/shower your dog in your own bath !!

?? where else would you bath it?

Of course we did until we plumbed in a dog shower in the attached garage so they had their own H&C running water.

Our dog always gets washed in our bath, we use the shower mixer to do it.

Like CS says - where else? You can't do it outside! And she's far too big for the kitchen side - LOL!

A dog shower?!

Pants, something else to add to the wishlist for when I look for a new house!

sorry ment to say it you dont take it to the groomers [fullof cold not whith it today]

oh, right. Then no I wouldn't take it to the groomers. I have never done this, our dog got bathed a few times a year, or more if totally filthy from walk, in the bath.

Yes in the bath, then clean the bath.

DH is a bit funny about it but I can't see the problem if you clean the bath afterwards.

Sometimes do a hose bath outside in the summer though.

My dog has just been in the shower. He is white and fluffy sometimes and so needs showering regularly. Plus he has a skin condition, so needs his special shampoo once a week.

Where else would I wash him?

i used to bath my dog in the summer in the garden ,but today i put her in the shower now ,shes sat by the fire geting dry and warm

bath scrubbed out of course etc

We have a walk in shower that I use to bath/ wash my long haired dog. Very handy but I usually need to takeoff my trousers to avoid getting wet!

Also very easy to clean afterwards.

Always use a bath mat - too slippery otherwise & even if the dog doesn't slip they find it much more scary without a mat. You can throw the mat in the washing machine after, if you're fussy

No! Outside with a hose.

Yes i shower my dog in the bath. Pain in the butt to get him in it (Greyhound!) but he would freeze outside.

Use the hose outside in the summer.

I wash mine outside in a large metal bucket in all weathers
Don't tell her she should have the luxury of our bath

Mine get washed from the hosepipe - unless it's frozen when they get a nice warm bucket. Funnily enough they loathe the warm water and are happier with cold hose! They do then get a good towel dry and sit in the utility room on their lovely warm vet bed on a lovely heated tiled floor! Obviously it's not a deep all over wash, just a rinse to get mud off - I only do proper washes on warm sunny days.

Since they are happy leaping in and out of the river, even when it's as cold as it is now, I don't think a wash outside harms them at all, especially since they dry off in the warm. They're labs so their coats are water repellent anyway and dry quickly.

Eldest lab rolled in badger poo a few weeks ago which did require a shampoo to the affected area - that was done outside with warm water and teatree shampoo - no way was she going in my bath stinking like that!

In our bath, once a week.

Although I am considering taking her to the grooming parlour once or twice a month as it is difficult to get the knots out of her hair now that she has longer hair.

Would not do it outside, she is quite cold sensitive and shivers just being outside without her snazzy wee coat.

I sponge my two down outside with a bucket of warm water and some dog shampoo a couple of times a week. Tried them in our bath with the shower attachment but they hated it and kept leaping out!

I don't bath my dog - strips the oils from his coat - so prefer not to... I use a homemade grooming spray (some essential oils in warm water) and brush that on him a few times a week so he smeels v. nice .

I would wash anything disgusting off him if I needed to, but he doesn't roll in stuff - he is a lab an they really shouldn't be bathed if possible.. Can see is different for other breeds tho...

My parents wash their collie in the shower if they need to wash her in the winter - so can't see a problem with it.

My dad showers with his dog.

It's quite logical.

But weird.

MIne is little and I haven't washed him yet. If I really had to I'd hose him in the garden though. DH would freak if I put him in the bath. Same way he freaks when pup licks the dirty cutlery in the dishwasher

well it was the very first time i put her in shower we have an old rubber bath mat she loved it ,no prob at all just did not wet her head ,so did not shake
