Dog bath time tips that actually work

If washing your dog at home has ever left your bathroom looking like a crime scene, Candace D'Agnolo of Dante & Dory's Pet Emporium says the problem is almost never the dog — it's the setup. In this episode of Midwest Pet Life, Candace covers: The two pieces of equipment that solve most bath time struggles at home Why you should never use human shampoo — or Dawn dish soap — on your dog The double-rinse rule and why skipping it causes most post-bath skin problems How often you should actually be bathing your dog — and when to adjust Why shaving your dog in summer can do more harm than good The new self-wash stations at Dante & Dory's Pet Emporium — and what makes them worth it   Have a pet question you'd like Candace to tackle on a future episode?
