1 - Using the wrong shampoo🚿
❌ Error: "Oh, I'll just put my coconut shampoo on him, he'll smell good!"
⚠️ Bad idea! Dogs have a different pH from us, and a product that is too aggressive can irritate their skin.
✅ Solution: Choose a shampoo specially designed for dogs, gentle and adapted to their coat.

2 - Skip the brushing step 🐕
❌ Error: Plunging a tangled dog into water is like trying to wash a carpet full of knots... The result? Fur that's even more impossible to untangle!
✅ Solution: A good brushing before the bath saves you the trouble (and a post-drying nervous breakdown).
3 - Water too hot or too cold: the fatal error 🌡
❌ Error: Hot water and your dog thinks he's a cooking lobster. Freezing water and he looks at you like you're sending him into a Nordic bath.
✅ Solution: Lukewarm, always lukewarm! (30-35°C, neither too hot nor too cold, like in a fairy tale 🐻).
4 - Pour water over his head directly 🚰
❌ Error: A big splash of water on the head? Great... except that your dog might panic and turn your bathroom into an Olympic-size swimming pool.
✅ Solution: Start with the back and legs, then gently clean the head with a damp glove.
5 - Forget to rinse well 🌊
❌ Error: "It's good, it smells good, let's stop here!" No, because a residue of shampoo, and hop: scratching, irritation, rolling in the grass to "get rid of this horror".
✅ Solution: Rinse, rinse again, and when you think you've finished... rinse one last time, just to be sure.

6 - Drying any way
❌ Error: Vigorous towel rubbing? Be careful, you risk tangling the hair and ending up with a dog as dishevelled as a poodle in the wind.
✅ Solution: Dab gently with a towel and use a hair dryer on low heat if your dog accepts it (if not, wait for the famous "I'm clean and crazy" sprint).
7 - Give him too many baths 🛁
❌ Error: "But he smells so good afterwards, we could give him a bath every week!" Bad idea, because washing your dog too often can irritate his skin and strip him of his natural protective oils.
✅ Solution: 1 bath a month (except for emergencies like "I've rolled in something filthy"), and in between, a no-rinse cleansing lotion or wipes to stay fresh.

💡 Bonus tip Always end with a treat and a cuddle.
Because after a bath, your dog deserves a reward... and so do you! 😉
