Rocky got a bath today!

[critter crazy]

AwwwYour right he doesn't look too pleased. If you don't properly dry them though they can get really bad thyroid problems especially if you leave them wet by the hips

I have never heard of this??? Seems weird to me, i mean dogs get wet all the time, from either swimming or the rain! I dry them as best as I can with towels, and then they air dry te rest of the way.

That's what I was thinking too, I don't think people dry their dogs with a blow drier after every time they swim in the lake or something. That's just what I was told at work

They don't honey.. Thyroid problems is a medical issue- not a bath issue.

The only thing that can happen with a bath is a soap allergy- or if the dog is already sick like with distemper, it can weaken the immune system farther.
None of this applies usually to a healthy dog. Flea shampoos usually are the biggest offender. I use frontline on my guys by the way- With these long coats, no way could I see the fleas until it was too late. You might want to start this before the weather turns warmer. I take mine off December to February- then back on.. And with 4 dogs- fleas are out of the question! lol..
