Bathing your English Springer Spaniel

Bathing your English Springer Spaniel should be a priority. If you're careless in bathing, the animal may end up with some infections. For example, if you don’t close the ears with large cotton balls, water may enter into the ear canal and may cause an ear infection. You know you might have this problem when your English Springer Spaniel shakes its head allot.

You probably should bathe your English Springer Spaniel once every six to eight weeks. Too frequently bathing can cause the skin and coat to loose the protective characters. However, if your dog has defecated on the skin due to a frequent digestive upsets leading to diarrhea, to avoid the bad smell, the dog may be subjected to more frequent bathing.

Take more care in avoiding some irritant soaps or human soaps. The soap used for human beings are not suitable for dogs. Similarly, many human shampoo products have ingredients that are not suitable to be used with dogs. Hence, always try to use the shampoo products that are specially formulated for dogs. Always take a little more care when using any new product.

take ample time and always be patient when bathing your dog. It's best to have everything in place before you start bathing your dog. Have a leash, conditioner, towel, and shampoo handy before starting. Conditioner is also helpful to make combing easier later. Bathing should be a convenient and enjoyable activity for both the dog and the owner.
