The Bichon Frise dog breed is known for its fluffy and curly hair, which can get dirty and matted quickly. Regular baths are essential to maintain the coat’s health and prevent skin problems.
Here’s how you can bathe your Bichon Frise:
- Gather all supplies, including a tub or basin, shampoo, towels, hair dryer, and ear cleaner if needed.
- Fill the tub with warm water that is not too hot. Place your Bichon Frise in the tub and gently wet their fur.
- Apply shampoo to your dog’s coat, ensuring it reaches all areas, including ears, eyes, and belly. Avoid getting shampoo in these areas.
- Rinse your dog thoroughly with clean water until all shampoo is removed from their coat. Check for residues.
- Remove your dog from the tub and wrap them in a towel to absorb excess water. Dry their ears, eyes, and face thoroughly using another towel. If necessary, use a hair dryer on the lowest heat setting to dry your Bichon Frise’s coat.
- Check your dog’s ears for dirt or debris and clean them if needed using an ear cleaner specifically designed for dogs.
Remember to be patient and take your time to ensure your Bichon Frise’s coat is thoroughly cleaned without causing discomfort or stress.
