How To Make Dogs Like Bath in Winter?

Bathing your canine companion in winter can be a big challenge. The cold air chills the bone even when we are dry and have our scarves and coats on. On the other hand, dogs need a bath with their fur coat on and that is cold! But, there are some tips to bathe your canine companion in your home and keep them happy and warm afterwards. Let’s begin.

1. Turn up the heater in your bathroom. Make sure your bathroom is warm in order to avoid your dog getting chilled.
