We tend to think one of two ways about bathing a dog. Some people think dogs don’t need to be bathed more than once a year or so, while others believe in bathing their dog every month.
While bathing is beneficial, it can cause problems if it is done too frequently.
Dogs have natural oils in their skin and fur, just like humans do. Washing too often will cause drying, leaving your dog at risk of scratching and developing sores. Keep in mind that there are some benefits to having natural oils present. For one, they provide protection from skin bacteria.
Make bathing a dog fun for you and your pet, but take care. There are certain things you must watch.
1. Protect your dog’s ears. If water and soap enter the ear canal, an infection can develop. This can be temporary but it can also cause serious damage. Infections can harm the ear drum and lead to deafness. There are familiar signs that your dog might have an ear infection. He will shake his head and you will see a constant discharge from the ears.
To ensure this doesn’t happen, gently plug your dog’s ears with cotton balls. Do not force them into the ear canal. Simply place them securely at the ear entrance to block water from entering. When the bath is over, be sure to dry the inside of the ears as some moisture is likely to gain access. Use a cloth over your finger. If you choose to use a cotton swab, be extremely careful not to enter too deeply into the canal or you could puncture the ear drum.
2. Use a proper dog shampoo as they are formulated specifically to protect your dog’s skin and fur. Human soaps can be too harsh and irritating. As well, there is the chance your dog will be allergic to the scents that are added to human products.
3. Frequency of bathing will depend on your particular dog’s breed. Longer haired dogs will require more frequent washing than short haired breeds. If you have a Spaniel or other hairy dog, schedule the baths to once every two months. Other breeds can go 6–8 months. However, if your dog spends a lot of time outside, he is likely to become dirty faster. Regulate your baths accordingly.
It’s important to start your dog off right with the bathing routine. Be patient and compassionate. Once you scare your dog, it will be more difficult bathing him in the future. Try to make it fun. Dogs love having water sprinkled on them, and running into rivers and lakes.
Set up your bath outside when possible and encourage him to run through it. Use a toy to distract him from the water. When his energy has subsided, begin the bath. You might want to put him on a leash so he can’t run away.
Be sure to collect all the equipment first: soap, conditioner, towel and some sort of bowl to pour water over him. Water running out of the hose might be too cold, however water in the bath will have warmed to a comfortable temperature.
Show your dog that bathing is something to enjoy and he will look forward to your next session with excitement.

Cloakroom Suites
While planning your house, keep provision for a cloakroom suite on the ground floor. Having a cloakroom suite or a separate bathroom with hand-wash and toilet facilities serves as a bonus facility in the house by taking the rush-time load off the main bathroom as well as catering to your party guests. It also comes in handy for a preliminary wash job when children rush inside with muddy hands and boots after playing outside.
Location of Cloakroom Suite
The unused area under the staircase or a section of the lounge, or any other niche which has little or no functional use, can be made into a cloakroom suite. Planning has to be done regarding plumbing in a water supply and linking it directly to the soil pipe to ensure that waste can be flushed away. Once you earmark this place, plan on minimal fittings and a no-fuss no-frills look for a self-contained bathroom.
Design Your Cloakroom Suite
Since the cloakroom suite does not have bathing facilities, all you need are a basin, toilet and maybe a rack to hang the towel. A compact-sized basin with mirror mounted on a storage cabinet is ideal for cloakrooms. The cabinet can be used to store the required utilities, like soap, towels, toilet rolls and detergents. The towel rack and soap stand can be fixed on the adjoining wall. Co-ordinated toilet and basin sets look good and lend a chic to the bathroom décor.
Floating aroma candles in a bowl of water and some colourful potpourri will complete the look.

There are also some sprays that are now available that you can use on your shower curtain. The sprays serve the same function as the salt water and vinegar solution. Remember to always wash down any soap foams that fall on the shower curtain; they are the ones that usually become moldy.
