8 Week Baths Before Vets

Here is the bath gallery.

They were great. I started out washing 1, then 2 then 3 together. Then I did the other two. They had baths, toweled dry and into a crate to blow dry partially. When I finished all 5, I started in on the 1st and used one of the dryers to finish each up and then back to the crate.

Then when all was dry we did some photos, shaved belliews, pads, clipped nails and clipped around the bum a small slit to avoid stickages. This is their last group bath. They will get one more bath before they head home the day before. I will do everything I usually do but also round their feet and can clip around the eyes if you like that sort of thing just so you can see their eyes. Your call. This crew has long hair. I won't clean around the eyes except if you ask on pickup day. 

Tomorrow we go to the vets. Its a new vet at Northumberland that was trained by my retired vet. It used to be her practice. They still own the building. So, I am not sure if photos will be allowed. But I am hoping they are.

I hope this crew does well in the crate to the vets. Stay tuned to tomorrow when we will let you know.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Such handsome pups for sure and very lucky families. The brown sable looks very familiar to me for some reason 😂
