What's the best water temp for my short-haired dog's indoor bath?

Try smearing a dab of peanut butter on the wall of the tub or shower. As Jack licks it, you can bathe him. Don't use too much though or he may develop some stomach upset. Make sure the peanut butter does not contain xylitol. Use warm water. If it is very hot outside, you can use cooler water.

It is ok to give Baxter baths in the winter. I'd have a heater in the bathroom to keep the room warm for when when gets out of the bath. You can also get a heated towel rack, and dry him with heated towels. I hope this helps.

I'm a bit confused as to whether you are talking about a cat or a dog. The post states dog but for pet's info it says cat...... A dog that shakes while getting bathed is likely nervous or scared. It is not usually from being cold which is what most people think. Be sure to use warm water when bathing. Ignore the shivering. It is not anything to be worried about. Best wishes!

Yes, you can bathe your dog with a hose. Just make sure that you run plenty of water through the hose as often times the water sitting in the hose can warm up with sun and come out very hot at first. Also, make sure that Chloe is completely dried afterwards since Golden Retrievers often have a thick coat that can stay moist underneath and cause skin issues.

Most pets can tolerate temperatures that we ourselves can tolerate. As long as it is not greater than 90-95 degrees or lower than around 25-30 degrees, most pets will be ok. There is no concern if your house is around 73 degrees. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Take care : )

That is hot! Chlorinated pool water can cause an over drying of the skin. A baby pool full of tap water that is safe to drink is less likely to cause dry skin and is fine for the dogs to get in. Try to provide shade, elevated beds to allow circulation and fans if possible. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hello, Toby may not be allowed to get a bath due to him being too young and the potential that he could be come too cold after his bath. Other potential reasons could include that he may be a little sick from his injection and thus giving him a bath may again make him too cold and make him feel worse. If you do give him a bath, make sure its with luke warm water and that you dry him off completely after his bath. Hope this helps and best of luck.
