Do not use human shampoo on your dogs and cats. Your pet's skin is much different than your own. Shampooing your pet is not harmful to their skin, but using the wrong shampoo can be harmful. Placing cotton balls in their ears keeps water and shampoo from entering the ear canal and causing an ear infection. Using a bland ophthalmic ointment in your pet's eyes will prevent irritation due to shampoo and water getting into the eyes.
Eight easy tips for bathing your pet:
Rinse your pet using lukewarm water rinse (handheld showerheads are helpful).
Apply a sufficient amount of shampoo to the top of the neck and along the back.
The face and ears should be washed with a soapy washcloth to avoid getting soap in the eyes or ears.
Work the shampoo into your pet's coat, adding more lukewarm water if needed.
Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear.
Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4.
Allow shampoo to sit for 5 - 10 minutes.
Again rinse the shampoo from your pet?s hair until the water runs clear.
