Giving your furkiddo a bath can be a tricky task, often with more water ending up on you and the floor than inside the tub!
If your pooch is not a big fan of taking a shower, it can be quite hard getting them inside the bath and keeping them calm while they’re in there.
In this episode of #AskNHV, we’ll give you some handy tips that will make bath time a breeze for both you and your dog.
Brush your dog – Brushing your furkid’s coat before a bath helps the shampoo get into the coat and works out mats before they get set in by the water. Gently pick apart or cut out any mats before the bath, because adding water will make them impossible to remove.
Gather your bath essentials – It can be super frustrating to start the bath only to realize the shampoo or towels are on the other side of the room. Unless you enjoy playing tag with a soaking wet pup, get your supplies together before you bring in the kid.
One towel is not enough – Get a towel to use as the antishake —drape it over your furkid (between washes or before rinsing) to prevent from shaking and soaking you and the walls. A second towel will be the drying towel. A big pup might need more than one drying towel
Block the drain – This one is for you and your bathroom tub care. Put a plugin on the drain to catch the dog hair and prevent it from plugging your drain.
Non-slip surface = less stress – This can be a non-skid rubber mat. Few things stress out a dog more than not being able to stand without slipping. Giving something to sink the toes into will help ease the anxiety about baths.
Lukewarm water – Make sure the water temperature is comfortable – not too hot or too cold. Fill the tub before bringing your dog. The sound of rushing water adds to their stress if they’re not enthusiastic bathers.
Calming touch – You can put some lavender in your hands – the calming smell helps ease them down.
During the bath
Don’t lose your cool if your dog resists
Make it fun – Lead your dog to the water offering good cheer along the way. Don’t lose your cool if your dog resists — if they already dislike bathing, an association with your angry voice won’t help. Put them in the tub with as little drama as possible and get to work.
If they have skin irritation use neem oil – you can buy at any health food market – put a few drops in the bathwater.
Throw a towel over them like a horse blanket and use another one to dry the face, then the ears, and then the feet. You can use a blow-dryer to speed things along if you like and if your dog isn’t afraid of the noise.
If you do use a blow-dryer, set it on the cooler setting to avoid accidentally injuring the skin. After you’ve towel-dried them the best you can, put them in a “shaking allowed” zone, and let them have at it.

Dog coat and skin supplements like Coco Furcare can help improve the shine and luster of your dog’s beautiful fur. Coco Furcare has natural ingredients that soothe the skin, deterring your pet from scratching themselves raw and leaving their skin open to infection. Protection against parasites and skin allergens also reduces itching and the possibility of future hot spots for your dog.
This spray-on supplement is formulated with powerful, all-natural ingredients like Neem leaf, sodium bicarbonate, and Eucalyptus. These ingredients have potent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-pest properties that stop the source of any itching and soothe any irritation.
Coco Furcare is also made with ingredients like chamomile for a calming effect, moisturizers like cedarwood, and deodorizers such as lemongrass. All of these natural extracts help to provide comprehensive and effective care for your pet’s skin and coat.
Improper dog fur care and bites from pests like mites and fleas can result in a hot spot. Hot spots occur when a dog itches or obsessively grooms aggravated skin until the area is raw. The introduction of bacteria to the irritated area causes an itchy, infected sore. Hot spots can result in discomfort and induce hair loss. Left untreated, the wound can grow into a severe health concern.

Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.
