For dogs who perceive a bath as the worst possible punishment you could ever give them, odor-reducing sprays can be a great solution. When choosing a spray, take your dog’s specific needs into consideration. If he has allergies or sensitive skin, it may be best to choose something gentle or made from organic materials. Remember to never spray your dog directly in his face or eyes.

When choosing a shampoo and conditioner, consider your dog’s coat. Just like people, there are lots of choices that cater to specific types of fur. If you have a puppy, it’s best to start with something gentle, like a tearless puppy shampoo. They are also shampoos made specifically for tangles, dandruff, and sensitive skin.

Depending on breed, you may need several types of brushes to care for your dog's coat. A slicker brush will remove dead fur and should be purchased for all breeds of dogs. These brushes are also available in the form of a glove that you can wear on your hand, which is a great option for pups that tend to run the other way whenever they see a brush. A pin brush is good for longhaired dogs and a bristle brush works well on short coats. A rake helps brush undercoats. If your dog has a problem with matting, purchase a mat comb. It’s best to start brushing your dog at a young age, so he gets used to and views it as a normal and even pleasurable activity.
