Weekly Bathing Your Dog

For Dogs, a weekly bath is very important. I will suggest giving a bath every fourth day but I know most of you are busy therefore take a timeout one day in a week for your dog’s bath.

Process

Bathing your dog is not that difficult. Damp dog’s fur with warm water. Use a water container or check out this awesome water shower that makes my life easy and also it gives a deep bath inside your dog’s fur.

Before using a shampoo consider your dog’s skin and fur’s health. If your dog is itching or has some other problem with skin or fur then use medicated shampoos like these.

If your dog’s skin and fur are fine then use normal shampoos like these.

Always use dog conditioners it will keep your dog’s fur and skin smooth.

And just giving a bath is not enough with bath comes other hygiene too which I will discuss in the following topics.

Give Them Treats

Treats are important. They provide nessaccary nutrients, and your dog will love the treats. But make a special occasion to give your dog treats. Like when you are teaching it to do some tricks place treats in your hand and then when your dog achieves its trick give it a treat. Your dog will love it. Also, dogs have great smelling sense so you must hide the treats out of your dog’s reach to prevent them from eating treats behind your back.

Here are my favorite treats for dogs.

Cutting Or Trimming Dog’s Nails.

Dogs nails are dangerous they don’t look that sharp but they can carry germs and they can scratch a person with sensitive skin. Your dog will not intentionally hurt you but while playing or getting excited their nails can scratch you.

Another important point is that if a dog’s nail grows more than usual. That can become uncomfortable for your dog. Therefore, I suggest you cut your dog’s nails monthly. For that check out dogs nail clipper like this one.

If you are new then use electric nail grinders like these. You just have to put your dog nail in it and it will gently grind it.

Precaution.

Stay alert while clipping your dog’s nail, don’t cut too much because it will hurt your dog and will start bleeding.

How much to clip or cut a dog’s nails?

There is a pink area in your dog’s nail spot that just cut a little above that area don’t cut that area or below that area, because that will hurt your dog. If you cant locate that pink area just grind or cut the pointy tip and make it straight.

Giving Them Their Personal Space

Every living thing needs its personal space. Just take humans as an example. Every person needs their room where he/she can sleep, keep his/her’s stuff, and makes his/her’s mess. In the same way, your dog needs its room where it can sleep and make a mess. That’s why you must provide your dog, its corner.

For this purpose, you can build your dog a hut or you can check out the dog house.

If you are keeping your dog inside your house then big cages like this one or this one might be helpful or you can separate their corner from the rest of the house by placing pet pens.

Nessacary Walks

Take your dog for a walk daily for at least half an hour. Change your route after every week slightly so that your dog and yourself don’t get bored with the same route every day. Somedays take small walks while other days take long walks. Run with your dog occasionally that way it will become a playful thing and you and your dog will both enjoy it. Keep some treats in your pockets. If your dog obeys your command during walk give it a treat that way your dog will understand that by listening to you it will get a treat.

If you are new and you have an energetic dog than you must have a Retractable dog leash.

Otherwise, you can have a simple dog leash.

Giving Them Time and Playing With Them

This is the most important step in keeping the dog. Your dog needs your time and attention. Therefore, You must take time out daily for your dog to sit with them, talk to them, and play with them.

Playing with your dog builds your relationship with the dog stronger. You can try playing fetch with your dog.
