Do you wear rubber gloves to give your dog a bath?

Answer 1

i do but my sister doesnt
i use them so nothing gets in my fingernails
but it also feels better on their skin because its softer and it has the same effect as if you weren't wearing gloves.

so its up to you but it really depends on you
but i say yes

Answer 2

No, I do not wear gloves when giving baths. BUT, if you are bathing several dogs with a chemical shampoo or a dip you should wear gloves. The chemicals can penetrate into your blood stream.

Answer 3

Better to wear a full rubber wet suit or do the naked thing in the shower or bathtub. But then, you could still wear gloves so the answer is yes. :)

Answer 4

No, do you wear gloves to give your baby a bath? I would never let my PATCHY get so dirty that I felt I needed to wear gloves to give her a bath.

Answer 5

No.I just think gloves are a nuisance.Unless you are washing dogs all day and need to protect your hands from the water and shampoos used.

Answer 6

I don't, however, I should! My hands get itchy and burn after using most soaps...But not for hygenic reasons. Most pro groomers will, to protect hands that are in soaps all day, and people with long, groomed nails should..to protect the nail job..

Answer 7

No, why would you? If you pet your dog, then it is no difference when bathing them, except they are wet and it is not like the shampoo is toxic.

Answer 8

if my dog is dirty enough for me to have to wear rubber gloves.. i think i would be worried.... very worried.. lol

Answer 9

nah... your dog should be able to feel the warth of your hands and caress of your touch... bathing should be an enjoyable experience for the dog :)

Answer 10

nope...you can wash your dog better with no gloves....really work a lather into his coat
