Bathing Tips
- Brush thoroughly BEFORE bathing to remove loose undercoat
- Use lukewarm water — never hot
- Work shampoo deep into the undercoat
- Rinse completely — residue causes irritation
- Use a high-velocity dryer or towel dry (air drying takes forever)
- Brush again after drying
Never Use
- Human shampoo (wrong pH for dogs)
- Dish soap (strips natural oils)
- Anything with artificial fragrances or dyes
