I usually only bathe one or two dogs per day since I rotate application of their K9 Advantix (I don't put it on all five dogs in the same week... I put it on two dogs one week, another dog the next, etc. and by the time everybody's got it, it's time to put it on the first dog again!)

On the other hand, Woody, the Basset likes baths so much he will lay right down in the water - face and all - and refuse to get out till the water gets cold. He's kinda weird! But after that I have to dry them off out on the front porch. They get to do all the shaking off they want out there and there are no dirt piles for them to get into. I've learned from experience if I let them go out back before they're dry, they'll just go roll in the dirt and come in looking like chocolate covered hounds. Read Less
