How To wash your dog
Grab the bottle of dog shampoo and put enough on your dog to get it good and sudsy. Work the soap into the fur, be sure to get the ears and around the face, on its belly and its feet and tail.
..:::How To Pet
Have your dog in a comfortable postion such as sitting for front paws and laying on their side for back. Fill bucket with warm water and some antiseptic. Soak paw for a few minutes.

Rinse paw with plain water. Dry paw off with towel. Wrap gauze around paw and then up an inch or two (depending on size of your dog).

Now using the self sticking ace bandage start by wrapping the bottom of the paw first making sure you go around a few times. Keep it tight but not tight enough to cause discomfort. After wrapping the paw itself start wrapping up the leg to above the guaze. Now, the important part, make sure you wrap the ace bandage back around itself, going back down the leg if need be. That is important because it only sticks to itself and not having a "lip" is what keeps most dogs from tearing at it.
