Bath in kitchen sink very Sunday. We use wipes in between as needed.
The first week we gave him a bath, he picked up on how nervous my husband and I were. He hyperventilated and got the zoomies afterwards, which made me cry. (His little heart was beating so fast, I was convinced I was killing him.)
A month later, he still gets the zoomies afterwards, so he has to partially air-dry.
I've been told it gets better with time.
Brush and comb daily, shortly before his bedtime. Tick check at the same time (and every time he comes in from outside.)
We've been giving him a small taste of puppy toothbrush gel everyday since he brought him home and he thinks it's a treat. It made it super easy to start him toothbrushing recently. |
