Turn Your Pet’s Bath Time into Spa Time

Is your dog or cat afraid of a bath? Do they run when they hear the water starting? Creating a pet spa atmosphere changes a stressful time into a relaxing, pampering time for your pet. Bonus: you get to experience the spa atmosphere as well!

Here are some tips for creating your own pet spa day:

  • Choose a time when you aren’t in a hurry or distracted. Both can make you stressed which your pet can sense.
  • Gather all the supplies you need in the bathing area before you try to get your pet there. This will make the bathing experience go smoothly.
  • Flameless scented candles can relax the mood. You may even want to diffuse some essential oils. Just use a little! Your pet’s sense of smell is much stronger than yours so a little goes a long way.
  • Soothing music can also help you and your pet feel at ease.
  • Brushing your pet’s fur before the bath can act as a relaxing massage and can remove loose hair to prevent clogs in your drain.
  • For washing, use warm water and be sure to use dog shampoo, not human shampoo, since dog shampoo is formulated for a dog’s skincare needs.
  • For drying, you can gently use a soft towel or a chamois.

Turning bath time into spa time changes a dreaded chore into a stress-free time together!
