Flat-coated Retriever bathing tutorial:

Generally speaking, you can take a bath once every 7 days in hot summer, and once every 2-3 weeks in cold winter. Flat-coated retrievers are large, and bathing is a huge project, which requires parents to master the method.

The first step is to play with your flat-coated retriever before taking a bath to relax its nervousness and rejection, and then prepare the necessary bathing tools, such as: comb, towel, shower gel, brush, hair dryer, bathtub etc.

The second step is to comb the flat-coated retriever's hair before bathing it, remove some dirt on the hair, and straighten the hair. This will also be more conducive for parents to bathe the flat-coated retriever.

The third step is that after combing the hair, parents should prepare bath water for it. Generally speaking, it is best for flat-coated retrievers to keep the water temperature in their baths at around 40 degrees Celsius. To determine whether the bath water temperature is appropriate, you can use your dog's paw to test the water temperature first. If it is not rejected, you can start taking a formal bath.

The fourth step is to wet the dog's entire body with clean water, then apply shower gel, and gently rub the dog's entire body with both hands. It should be noted that the bath water cannot get into the dog's eyes and ears. Inside, avoid stimulating its emotions, causing the bath to be unable to proceed normally.

Finally, after rubbing, you can use clean water to clean the dog's body thoroughly. It should be noted that there should not be a trace of shower gel foam left, as this is unhealthy for the dog's coat. In addition, after cleaning, the water droplets should be wiped dry with a towel, and then the wet hair should be dried completely with a hair dryer to prevent the flat-coated retriever from catching a cold.
