Preface:
The first time I raised a dog, because Diu Diu was picked up, so I didn't prepare anything. Everything was very busy. I took it to take a bath on the first day I picked it up. After washing, I touched the hair inside and found that it was not dried, which made me not very impressed with the bath in the pet shop. When I got home, I searched for shower gel on the Internet and started the process of bathing Diu Diu.
Introduction of Experiencers in this issue

The appearance of the product is still very good, light yellow, looks more comfortable. But the bottle is all in English, roughly checked, the bottle is the product introduction and the use of shower gel.
Let's take a shower
Be sure to prepare what you need before you take a bath. Don't take anything after the dog has finished washing. It's fine in summer, but in winter, the dog is easy to catch a cold. If I give Diu a bath, I will prepare shower gel (this is very important), hair conditioner (because the previous hair conditioner is used up, so I didn't take a picture), a dry handkerchief, a hair dryer (for dogs with thick hair, it is recommended to buy a hair dryer or drying box, which will dry faster), a comb, a bathtub (for dogs who don't want to take a bath, the bathtub can limit the space to walk, and it is cold in winter. Soak in the tub to get warmer).
We're ready. Do you want to see "me" take a shower? Ha ha ha ha.
Generally, few dogs like to take a bath, especially those who are afraid of water. Although Diu Diu is also afraid of water, he is very good when taking a bath. If there is a dog who doesn't want to take a bath, parents can choose to use the dog's favorite toy to induce it, or bring snacks to "trick" it into the bathroom. Don't force the dog before washing, comfort him and praise him when washing. Let's take a look at how Diu Diu takes a bath.
Wet your body first. Don't rush to wet your head at first. This will make dogs feel uncomfortable, especially dogs who don't like to take a bath. They will be more resistant to taking a bath.
When you take a shower at home, it is recommended that you use a dilution bottle to dilute the shower gel, which can not only save the shower gel, but also directly apply the shower gel to the dog's body is not good, just like you wash your hair, you will try to rub the shampoo in your hands and then get it on your hair.
The above picture is a wrong demonstration. You'd better not squeeze the shower gel directly on the dog.
Tips:
Because I think this shower gel is not easy to lather, the foam is too little, so it is not recommended to dilute the shower gel.
Have a SPA. Ha ha ha ha. When washing, you can massage properly to increase the comfort of the dog and make it feel that bathing is also a happy thing.
Start flushing. Test the water temperature before flushing. My mother always says that bathing a dog is like bathing a child. They can't express it in words, so test the water temperature before flushing the dog. Because some dogs themselves are very resistant to bathing, if the water temperature is too hot, it will increase the dog's fear. In the process of flushing, you must be careful not to get water or foam in your eyes. When you wash your hair, you can cover your eyes with the other hand and then flush. (Because I was the only one at the time of shooting, I covered my eyes and let everyone imagine, cover my mouth and smile..)
The bathing photo of "me". Do you think I'm cute.
Blowing process:
When blowing hair, you can first blow from both sides of the body, and then blow the hair on the back and the hair on the chest. When blowing, the curly dog can comb against the hair. This way, the hair will be more fluffy. The dog with straight hair does not need to comb against the hair. Just comb along the hair. Because some dogs will be more resistant to blowing the head, so when blowing the head can be the same as when washing the head, blindfold blowing, and then wear a headdress to cover the ears, so that the wind can not blow into the eyes and ears, the dog will not be so resistant to blowing the head.
Product comparison:
I bought ferret shower gel before, because I just picked up Diu Diu at that time, so I bought a special shower gel for skin diseases. This one doesn't taste like essence, while earthbath can be said to be almost tasteless. If you smell it closely, you can smell a faint orange smell, and it's completely tasteless after washing.
① About appearance: The lids of these two shower gels are pressed, so it is very convenient to open or close the lids, and the operation is very simple. Because the earthbath liquid is clear, the lid will be clean, while the ferret shower gel I bought before is dark gray, so when I pour out the shower gel, the lid will often be stained, the lid will be dirty, and I have to rinse it after use.
② About foaming: In the process of bathing, ferret shower gel will foam more easily. Diluting the shower gel will save more money and make it easier to wash. When I wash with earthbath, I have to squeeze a lot of bubbles on my body, because the shower gel is soap-free, so the foam will be relatively less.
③ Fragrance: After washing, the body of the ferret will be more fragrant, the smell is not very pungent and strong, and the fragrance can be controlled for about three or four days; although the earthbath smell is very light, there will be no body smell after washing, and the body smell will appear after three days, which is not obvious.
④ Skin diseases: Both of them had no obvious effect.
Ferret: It has a lot of foam, which is troublesome to rinse, but the fragrance lasts and the cost performance is high.
Tips:
Diu Diu is a very good dog. He never shit and pee at home, but every time he goes out, he has to shit in the grass. Because he often turns around the grass, Diu Diu takes a bath once a week. If the dog does not turn to the grass, it is recommended that you wash it once a half month in summer and once a month in winter. Hair needs to be combed before
