How to bathe a Pointer Terrier? Bathing a Pointer Terrier is a very laborious task, so if you want to wash it yourself, you must be prepared. Below, the editor will share with you the steps for bathing a Pointer Terrier.

Steps for bathing a Pointer Terrier:

1. Before bathing your pet dog, put a collar on it so that it is easier to control when bathing. This does not seem to be applicable to many well-behaved dogs who have been "bathing" for a long time, but you can try it for pet dogs who are taking a bath for the first time.

2. Use cotton swabs or cotton strips (do not use cotton balls, if the dog shakes its head during the bath, the cotton balls will automatically fall off) to plug the dog's T-shaped ear canal vertically. Use chlortetracycline ointment on the eyes to prevent bath fluid and dirty water from entering.

3. If you put your pet dog in a tub or bathtub to take a bath, the water volume should be 5-10 cm deep. A non-slip mat can also be placed in the bathtub to allow the pet dog to stand firmly in the bathtub.

4. Soak the pet dog’s body with appropriate warm water, and gently comb the fur on the pet dog’s body to make the pet dog feel comfortable and quiet, and prepare for bathing.

5. First apply bath liquid on the back of the pet dog, rub it from the back to the buttocks, and rub the whole body to create foam. Finally, wash the dog’s head, ears, chin, around the anus, limbs, soles, etc. All parts must be thoroughly washed, and attention should be paid to avoid washing the foam into the eyes of the pet dog.

6. Start flushing. The direction of flushing is to clean the dog's head first, then the body. Start flushing from the head and gradually move backwards. Don't grab it all over the head and face, just go wherever you go.

7. Be sure to rinse thoroughly the bath solution remaining on the dog’s fur. After confirming that the bath solution remaining on the dog’s fur has been completely washed away, it is recommended to use hair conditioner every time. The acid-base balance is conducive to thorough cleaning. Wash away any remaining bath fluid from your pet dog.

8. Use a large towel that can completely wrap the pet dog to dry it, remove the cotton sliver from the pet dog’s ears, and wipe the ears clean. Wipe first with a towel, then blow dry with a hair dryer.
