| In warm summer months, you can let your dog dry in the sun after an initial towel dry. If you need to clean your dog's ears, take a cotton ball and wet it with mineral oil. Gently clean the ear, but only as far in as the cotton ball will go easily. Mineral oil helps prevent certain types of parasites in the ear. |

Towel dry your dog thoroughly. Do this in a draft-free place so your dog doesn't catch any chills. If your dog has long hair, you can squeeze a lot of the water out of the fur with your hands before towel drying. If your dog has particularly long hair or you need to dry him or her quickly, a portable blow dryer will help. Set the dryer on medium and lay the nozzle parallel to the skin so it blows water off the hair from the skin outward. This will also help prevent tangling. Don't actually press the blow dryer against the skin, as it can grow hot and burn your dog. Note: Use your blow dryer away from the washing area to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Most dogs really enjoy the drying process. The extra attention of being rubbed with a towel or the pleasant, warm air of a blow dryer make up for any of the indignities of the recently concluded bath. And you'll be glad to have a clean canine companion again. "Good dog!" -end-
