Took the dogs along for family Thanksgiving. A family member offered to bathe them. I was thankful for the help until I noticed my girl now has missing patches of coat along her back. She is already at risk for alopecia. Family member claimed it was necessary to scrub her hard to “really clean her”. I feel like a tiger mom at times but I’m still thinking about this situation. I’m still bothered and I feel like I should be over it by now

I was pissed and we argued over it. I felt like the response was so lackluster. I’m so glad both dogs are under my care permanently.

Thank you. It helps to have outside perspective.

Did you explain the dog needs and sensitivities beforehand? This seems so odd.

Oh gosh- I’m sorry this happened to them :( I have one dog with sensitive skin and one super shedder. The bath time process is a lot.

Sorry this happened to you.

There are two people allowed to groom my dogs - me and their sitter / groomer. I don’t even send them to grooming places at the vet or pet places because I don’t trust it.

So many things can go wrong. Skin sensitivities to the wrong products. Water in the ears. Soap in the eyes. Bad bath experience that traumatizes them for future baths.

I would have politely said no to the offer.

You can use hypoallergenic wipes to treat certain areas. Also your dog may suffer from allergies. I give mine Apoquel medication, which has helped.
