After everything is ready, wet the dog's body with clean water first, being careful not to get the water into the dog's eyes, ears, and mouth. After the dog's body is wet, squeeze out an appropriate amount of pet shower gel (use it according to the instructions, because some pet shower gels can be applied directly to the dog's body, and some need to be diluted with water first). After applying the shower gel, gently rub the dog's body with both hands. Note that the dog's neck, buttocks, limbs and other parts must be thoroughly rubbed. After rubbing, clean the dog's body thoroughly with clean water without leaving any residual foam.
