4. Cleaning Procedure
4.1. Wetting the Dog
- Begin from the neck down to avoid startling the dog.
- Avoid direct water spray on the face or ears.
4.2. Shampooing
- Dilute shampoo in a 1:4 ratio (1 part shampoo, 4 parts water) for even distribution.
- Massage shampoo into the coat in circular motions, working from the neck to the tail.
- Pay special attention to areas prone to dirt (e.g., paws, belly, under the tail).
4.3. Rinsing
- Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear to prevent residue buildup.
4.4. Facial Cleaning
- Use a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid getting soap or water into the dog’s eyes, ears, or nostrils.
4.5. Conditioning (Optional)
- Apply conditioner, leave for 2-3 minutes, and rinse thoroughly.
