Do not use human shampoos on your dog’s skin. Human grade shampoos contain chemicals that are too harsh to use on dog skin. Bathe your dog with a shampoo specially formulated for his or her skin and coat needs.
- Use a washcloth to clean your dog’s face and ears.
- Dilute the shampoo with water (1:10 ratio) to decrease the concentration of the shampoo. This makes it easier to distribute through the skin and easier to rinse.
- Leave the shampoo on your dog for 10 minutes.
- Rinse the shampoo from your dog’s skin thoroughly, removing all excess shampoo residue. Follow with a dog conditioner.
