Rainy Day Tips For Dog Owners

Here are some quick tips for dogs with muddy paws & musty-smelling coats.

When a dog's gotta go, a dog's gotta go!

Sometimes it's necessary to let the dog outside even when it's raining (...or snowing). And you've still got to let him back indoors, even if he's been digging in the dirt (...or stepped in something).

The fact of the matter is... a dog's paws are often going to be muddy, dirty, or messy.

Your options are:

Wet dog with muddy paws in the bathtub... not looking forward to this impromptu bath! Either carry the dog to the bathtub and go through all the steps required to give your dog a quick bath.

Or, find a quick & easy way to wipe down your dog before he runs free indoors.

Here are some time-savers...

RAINY DAY TIP #2: When your dog's fur gets wet, it's likely to smell very "doggie". So, the next time your dog comes in from the rain, simply wipe him down with a dryer sheet. This instantly makes your dog smell springtime fresh & clean.
