Loving my Oldies Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) I use a face washer. When bathing them I close their ears to prevent, as much as possible, water getting into their ears. I regularly clean around their eyes with cotton wool balls dampened with warm water.

I usually just wipe with a wet face washer as mentioned above. I don’t use shampoo on their faces either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vehs Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 My dogs are so little that if I'm washing their faces I'm doing their whole body (with a shower hose) with my GSD, on the rare occasion he'd need a face wash I'd use a flannel or a wet wipe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ish Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I make up a very weak solution of no tears baby shampoo and wash their face in the bath - a weak solution doesn’t need much rinsing so although they don’t like it, it’s not too much of an ordeal. I do it last thing before they get out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowgliandme Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I wash my dog in the shower with the removable shower head For her face i reduce the water pressure slightly, gently hold her (long floppy) ear down and spray on her muzzle gently then shampoo and rinse in the same way. For the top of her head i try to direct the water down her neck and move her ears forward out of the way slightly. She loves having a shower and hasn't had any ear issues with this method - but if she didn't like water on her face id probably try the face-washer and diluted baby shampoo method?

Dogsfevr Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Just gets washed like the rest of the dog ,shampoo/conditioned ,dogs are trained early on bath manners so no big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I don't. They wash one another's faces. A tongue is far better than a wash cloth and cotton swabs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralPug Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I will use a face washer if bathing them, or a baby wipe (no perfume or alcohol) if not bathing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
