How to make a dog bath for inside an apt?

Bathtub! And have several plastic pitchers of water ready for rinsing. Close the door and let him / her shake shake shake, then wash the ceiling and walls down with vinegar and water. A swiffer mop or cotton mop work wonders. I have done it many times myself when it was too cold to do outside.

Or look up dog wash stations, where I live there are several facilities that have dog wash stations - sort of like a do it yourself car wash, but for dogs. You pay a flat fee for using the facility. Bring your own towels and supplies or for extra money they have single use shampoos and treatments for sale and towel rental.

Hello this is Peggy. First of all how big is your dog? In Indiana there are dog washes, places like petco that will bath a dog or you can find a groomer. I put ours in the shower, be sure it's not a cold day if you take them outside after, they can get sick. You can try them with the hair dryer not too hot. Good Luck

One Word of Caution - If you have a med to xl dog, make sure your bathtub is not one of the plastic ones. The dog will scratch it all to H....., and your landlord would probably want you to pay for a new tub. Another tip is if your dog has fleas - when starting to get the dog wet, Start with the face and head, and use Dawn Dish Detergent ( it kill any fleas on the dog ). Once you wash the dogs face and head, continue to wet the neck area to the shoulders and again use Dawn detergent. Scrub the dog good. Keep wetting a section at a time until you have done the whole dog ( including feet and between the toes) fleas hide there. Then starting at the head and face rinse the dog thoroughly. It is much easier if you have a soft hand held flexible massager it helps get tons of loose hair off. As you rinsing with hose, use massager in other hand, and brush the soap off as water is rinsing. Your bound to get a large handful off a large dog ( saves on vacuuming.)

If you want to do this in the tub go to the hardware/home improvement store and get a drain screen/filter for pet hair. We use one in our huge shower and wash both our dogs,; no clogged drain!

In my last email, I forgot to mention the reason why a person should wash there animals like this ( In sections - starting at face and head ), especially if they have fleas. It's because, if you started wetting the animal w/ fleas elsewhere, the fleas don't like water and they will run to the head and particularly the face. So by starting there 1st you are preventing them from congregating there, and allows you to get most of them. Also, on the dogs face, it's good to use baby shampoo, in case you should get some in the eyes. Try not to get water in the ears, when wetting the ears, I grab the ear and hold it toward the front of the face, covering the ear opening. Then once its wet, I put on shampoo and then rinse pretty much the same way, except if you have a dog with long ears, you'll want to rinse the soap off on the inner flap of ear that hangs down. To do this I flip the ear back so the under part can be rinsed easily, then when getting closer to the ear opening,I use my free hand to cover the opening to prevent water to get in the ears. Sorry for going on and on, just tips I've learned along the way. Good Luck
