7 Essential Dog Bathing Supplies

Once your dog is completely brushed, combed, and tangle-free, he is ready for a bath. 

Now you must get ready, too, and that means preparing all the necessary equipment and supplies so that you can reach what you need when you need it. lf you put that dog in the bathtub under running water and then have to go in search of shampoo or a scrub brush, we all know what will happen: a jump, a shake, and you will be a left with a soaked bathroom and a wet dog bounding around the house.

To wash your dog, you will need some basic supplies:

• shampoo/onditioner
  
  
• sponge
  
  
• bath mat
  
  
• a hand-held sprayer (or large cup for rinsing)
  
  
• a plastic apron for you to avoid getting wet
  
  
• a nylon collar and leash (if your dog has a tendency to bolt away)
  
  
• heavy towels
