Even therapy dogs need a bath!
George goes to the groomers for a bath and haircut every few weeks. In between times I take him to the local pet supply store who offer a free hydrobath for local dogs!
Having a bath is not entirely his favorite activity. He does always get a treat afterwards (don’t tell him it’s a dental hygiene treat 😉) But he’s pretty chill and relaxed about it.
His groomer, my friend Ang, tells me that when he’s having a bath there he is so relaxed he almost falls asleep!
My daughter came along with me this time, so she was able to snap some pics of bathtime for good boy!
He looks pretty chill here… don’t mind the li’l bandages on my arms, I’d just been to have my bloods taken that morning 😊
I give him a good scrub down with the shampoo, comb it through his fur and rinse… then he rewards me by shaking water and shampoo all over me 😂
Then it’s the baby wipes to clean his eyes and ears and a vigorous rub down with the towel.
Then we are done! Much to his relief!
I usually take him for a walk to the park to air-dry him further, less likely to have my place smell of wet dog! 😂 Not that I mind…
He’s a happy doggo and everyone loves him. He brings so much joy to people’s lives.
Love to you all and I hope you have a fabulous day 🥰
