Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

fitted clothing for your dog or any appropriate size t-shirt
shampoo with aloe

Step1

If you bathe your dog yourself, wash your furry friend with an aloe based shampoo and lather him/her up.

Step2

Rinse off excess shampoo thoroughly.

Step3

When done, make sure he or she is completely dry using a blow dryer made for animals.

Step4

Then, put on your dog the t-shirt you've selected. This should keep your furry friend from scratching! It worked with my yellow lab like a charm.

Tips & Warnings

Make sure the tshirt or clothing is cotton material and not wool!

on 1/7/2008 What I find helpful is the neck leash attached to a pole to keep them in place even when their body jerks a little here or there. I bathe my dogs at the PetCo selfwash and they have these pedestals with a neck leash attached to a pole and it helps keep my dogs in place even when they move. Try also luring them with treats to stay still. Keeping the drying part of their bath-time fun and treat-ful is a big plus.
