The articles I read say to clean thoroughly the last day. Everyday I would clean obvious poop, maybe change their water very frequently and bleach the bowl in between, bleach food bowls, and wipe butts. You can make a 5% bleach spray solution to have handy... bleach is harmless once dry.

For you, best to wash after handling the pups. You could even use the bleach solution on your hands, and just rinse afterwards. Wipe sink handles down with bleach too. Turn on sink to wash up, grab a paper towel to dry off then use that towel to turn off the faucet.

Keep them clean, but full bath only on the last day of treatment. Not necessary to bathe them everyday.

Just a note: Prolonged contact of bleach on metal will cause corrosion and pitting of the metal. Always rinse thoroughly.
Thanks so much!!!! I will get cottage cheese today how much I give them in there food?

Really appreciate all the GREAT advice!!!
