Wotsitpup stinks

[Wotsitsareafterme]

I want to wash him - I have baby shampoo - any good or should I buy dog shampoo as I'm going to PAH later anywAy.

In the bath under the shower head or in the garden with the hose? Which is least stressful?

He is a 3.5 month show cocker and suddenly got very pongy.

Any alternatives to a full on bath?

Dog shampoo and in the bath under the shower head would be my choice, but I'm no expert.

Dog shampoo. In the bath with shower head.

Thanks at least it's warm and sunny today he will be so cross with me!

Dog shampoo if you have it but I have used ordinary shampoo when I've run out of dog shampoo. I would also go for in bath with shower head as at least the water will be warm.
My ddog hates a bath but gets one about once a month sometimes more if hes got really dirty, as he sleeps in my bed he therfore needs to be clean.

have to admit my dog - who is a 'scruffy' only gets washed with water either in the shower or when we are out in the rain about once a fortnight and his fur is lovely and soft and smells of 'dog'
dogs in nature would not use shampoo (dog or otherwise)
just my view of course
if he is excessively stinky rather than just smelling doggy perhaps he has a stomach problem or it is his diet.

I bought some puppy shampoo. He was really very good in the bath under the shower. He's lovely and fluffy now

is there anything nicer than a fluffy dog hope he stays sweet smelling

Oh he is very fluffy and neutral smelling now. A much better experience than bathing the greyhound who behaved as if we were attempting to murder her

Yes - it must be a greyhound thing - my lurcher hates water unless in his bowl - will not go in the sea or any river or puddle - manage to get him under the shower by using a little gentle force so find the 'wash in the rain' while on his walk is the best option
