Bath-Time We have washed Belle 2/3 times now since we got her 3 weeks ago. She doesn't really like it though (tries to get out). Should I just persist, and will she start to enjoy it, or what do I do? Do any of you use a hair-dryer or would that scare the life out of her? |
you just have to keep with it. My yorkie is 2 now and he still doesn't like bath time... he just stands there and puts up with it. lol. Oh, and I don't blowdry him.. I tried once and I was scared of it being too hot on him, eventhough I did it on the cold setting. lol |
Okay great. I don't want to make her miserable, but at the same time, I want to keep her nice. |
Only one of mine likes a bath...she thinks it's spa day! Bath day around here is nuts but I just get it done. I do blow dry mine. |
Mine get bathed once a week. Nether one of them like it. I let them air dry |
Thanks a mil. I was afraid to persist, in case I scarred her for life. "Its bath-time tonight so Belle!!!!" |
Meka gets a bath about once a week or so... She doesnt like it either... And I towel dry her and then let her do the rest... She hates the blow dryer. |
Lulu is 11 months and still hates bath time. I have to hold her with one hand and wash with the other..oy vey. You would think it was something new to her. I have only had her since she was 8 weeks old and bathing her weekly. I do let her air dry but now that it's getting colder I will have to wip out the dryer on her. I had a male that loved loved the attention. He so loved his spa day. If I would bathe Lulu first he would be right there at my foot banging into me like me me me. |
Bella hated baths when i first got her! She squirmed and wiggled and whined, but now she just puts up with me giving her a bath once a week. I do use the blow dryer on her. I started the first time i bathed her and and almost everytime since then....I tried letting her air dry, but she just gets too cold and shivers! I usually use the warm setting and hold it about 12 inches from her so i dont burn her. Now she loves the blow dryer! she lays out on the floor and just lets me dry her! its hilarious! |

Here's hoping Belle will have the same attitude!!! |
harley is 8 months and hates bath time! i dont think hell ever like it. but i do blow his hair dry, which he loves. use a low setting and low heat. even when im blow drying my hair he sits underneath me. |
Yeah my Winston doesn't particularly like baths but he tolerates them. Sometimes he tries to climb out but I just hold him in there. He seems to do best though when I'm either in the bathtub with him or if I put my feet in with him. |
I think they all hate it Tede climbs up my chest ,claws all the way out:eek: He just cant stand any thing on his paws like a comb, but i do it any way. I found to dry him in the cold weather I have one of those oscillating heaters Hes use to that. I put him in his cage and let that go for a while. He likes the warm. This is after he runs all over the house and tries to dry himself on all the furniture:mad: :rolleyes: |
Some of them just don't like baths... Pepper is 16 months and for the past 13 months or so I gave him a bath every week. You'd think he'd learn to enjoy it by now, I always give him treats, a lot of kisses and gentle treatment. No :eek: . if I don't catch him before I start running the water, he hides under the bed where I can't reach him and will stay there for hours. He hates the blowdryer too, but would get too tangled trying to dry himself on the carpet. |
Those of you who are bathing weekly, what are you doing to keep the skin from getting dried out? I have been bathing Winstin every two weeks with a nice shampoo that I got at one of our vets. He is itching and it seems to me that his skin and hair is a bit dry in those areas. He mainly does it to his back legs. I have noticed that after a week he looks like he needs a bath and it makes me nuts. Should I try one of the shampoos that are for allergy type dogs? I know the vet carries some. I don't know, maybe its just the puppy itch. |
