Pre-Vet Baths

Here are the bath photos. 

I did it differently and I think from now on, this is the way I will be doing it. Six week baths you get to see each one individually from all sides. The 8 week bath, I put them all in the tub. I washed and rinsed each and then dried them with a towel. I then put them under the dryers and took one out at a time to comb them out. It is still a lot of work but this worked. Just before they depart for their homes, they will have yet another bath. These will be the same as the 6 week baths all taken individually from all angles. 

I wash them 3 times  not because they need it. I do so to get them used to the experience. Nathan will cut their nails before the vet arrives, which is early afternoon depending on driving conditions. 

Be sure to check out the videos. I did, for the 1st time, take video of them in the sink and in the crate getting blow dried.
