| Dog shampoo is formulated to work with a dog's fur and not cause skin irritations. Shampooing a dog with products designed for humans is not recommended. If you're using flea shampoo, carefully follow the directions on how long to leave the shampoo in. When you're finished bathing your dog, make sure you clean the tub of any residue, then wash your hands. |

Once your dog is wet to the skin, apply dog shampoo in small amounts. Begin at the back of the neck and work down toward the tail. Work up as much lather as you can. Wash short-haired dogs with a vigorous circular motion to pull out the dirt. Use a back-and-forth motion on dogs with medium-length hair. For longer-haired dogs, rub in the direction the hair grows. Make sure you lather up the belly, legs, and tail. Clean between the toes, behind the ears, and under the chin. Be careful not to get any soap or water in the eyes or ears, though. If your dog is hating this experience, feed it a treat with a non-soapy hand or have someone else feed the treat for you.
If you need to wash your dog's face, use a warm, damp washcloth and as little soap as possible, or no soap. When finished cleaning, wipe any soap off the face with a rinsed washcloth. Again, be careful not to get any soap or water in the dog's eyes or ears.
