Here’s a great dog washing tip! After wetting your pet thoroughly, apply your favorite Gold Medal Pets shampoo to a common cellulose kitchen sponge. Wash your dog with the sponge. You will use less shampoo and spread it more evenly and effectively through the coat. (Remember to rinse completely, then rinse again!) Before storing the shampoo, rinse the sponge and affix it to the shampoo bottle with a rubber band. This way you will always know this sponge is for your dog - and not for washing dishes! - Daryl Conner
