Does your pet like having a bath?

Abby HATES baths.

To put it mildly...

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Both of my dogs *HATE* baths. End of story

[Kfamr]

Simba hates it, Nala is ok with it.

[slleipnir]

Jo doesn't like them, but puts up with it fine..Zeke hasn't really had many baths but his 1st one he was afraid

That pic of Kai is SO cute!!

Reggie hates baths......he'll jump right in the bathtub, but he never will hold still. He freaks out with the blowdryer too. I've started to just bath him at work, that way I can just put him in a kennel to dry.



Smokey always starts to shake when he thinks its bathtime. He gets a very pathetic look on his face. Once he's in the bath, he's pretty good though. He likes the warm water. He'll still try and jump out if he gets the chance though.....it's been more then once we've had a soapy poodle running around the house. He quite likes the blowdryer, as long as it stays away from his face.

I've never bathed Nebo at home. I usually bath him at work every 4-6 weeks. He's a very good boy. Usually I put the Tea Tree Oil shampoo on him and just let it soak in for a good 15 minutes...he gets the pathetic look on his face, but he just sits there. I also make him sit in conditioner for about 15 minutes, and brush him with it on. He's one of the best dogs I've ever seen about the high pressure dryer. I put him up on a table and blow his coat out like crazy, and he just stands there. After too long sometimes he gets impatient and moves around and whines though. When I put him in a kennel to dry he just curls up and goes to sleep.

My dogs are the biggest dorks......all 3 know that the bathtub is the source of evil baths (though I've never actually bathed Nebo in it, I've washed mud of his feet/legs many times) yet all 3 will willingly jump right into the bathtub.

Keesha cannot STAND having a bath. It's hard to force her into the tub, and once she's there she tolerates it. She goes NUTS afterwards though and you'd think she loves it. :lol:

We don't bathe our cat; just the dog.

It doesn't matter to Maple, sometimes when i shower, she wants to come into the bathroom with me, iunno y, i'd be hot if i were her, but she just lies on the floor waiting for me to come out, and when i call her, lol she comes and tries to get into the tub

Yesterday was Bath Day here, so I'm fresh with answers (and scratches!!) Abbey hates it, she won't even walk into the bathroom. She's heavy, but I can get her in their--our tub has steps going up to it, so they have to be carried in. She tolerated it yesterday. Kito scratched my feet--he's like a cat--he gets scared and starts clawing at me--but after a while he was ok, then he started whining during rinsing. Riley wasn't too fond of it either, but he didn't mind.
Basically, for me to do all 3 of them alone was a lot easier than I thought it would be--I just had 3 wet dogs running around the house!!!

Dizzy,my 'dale loved baths! used to sleep in the bathtub ! That shower massage on pulsate, whoa just made him tingly all over. hated having the toenails clipped though

[Fuzzy317]

Not sure if we have ever given our cats a bath. Our dogs don't really like baths. Once they are in there they know they are stuck, so they put up with it (most times ).

[tomkatzid]

you be the judge

[ILuvMyDaisy]

I can scrub Daisy and shampoo her, she loves that! However, when it comes to rinse time, she uses all of the strength that she can to get out of the tub!

The only thing they like about baths is when they're over

[Dakota's Mommy]

Well, I battled the first round with them all on Monday night for they're first baths since they're daddy's been gone. Sierra was first and her's went pretty good. Kept trying to jump out of the tub but she's little enough to stop in mid air and put her back down. Destiny went next with little trouble. I did have to pick her up to carry her to the bathroom and set her in the tub, but once in their keeping one hand on her at all times stopped her from really fighting to get out. Dakota on the other hand, I don't know how I got her into the tub. Into the bathroom and infront of the tub was no problem. From infront of the tub into the tub was the fight. And she's a strong one. Mommy eventually won out and once in the tub she stayed in there with me staying in front of her at all times to ensure it. I do have bath time pics finally, but these are from the bath they got the weekend before Brian left for Iraq. So here they are:
