Health & WellbeingLucy hates bathtime.whenever I take her to bath she struggles alot and won't stay still.I always fix the water temperature to be mid but she still hates it.and after bath when I want to dry her with hairdryer she struggles alot and I should force her
I am going to assume Lucy is a dog, as I do not have that information here. My best advice is to bathe Lucy less frequently. Baths actually strip the natural oils in a dog's skin, which help maintain a healthy coat.
If Lucy does get dirty on an outing and requires a bath, try to reward her when she is still and praise her verbally. Tell her "good girl" , "calm girl" and reward her calm moments.
I would also try letting her air dry rather then blow drying her. The loud noise may be frightening her, due to her sensitive hearing.
This is a great option for keeping Lucy still while you try to bathe her, it has built in restraints;
