How to Wash a Dog’s Face
Washing your dog's head is one of the trickiest parts of the dog bathing process. You don't want to get soap or water in sensitive areas like your dog's ears, nose, and eyes. Easton recommends you save this part for the end of the bath, and suggests using a washcloth to clean your pet's face.
Dip the cloth in soapy water, carefully wash your dog's head and face, and then dip a clean washcloth into clear water and use that to rinse. "You just really want to make sure all the soap is out of those areas," Easton says.
Even if you're using a puppy shampoo that's designed to be easier on the eyes, shampoo can still hurt them, so you'll want to avoid the eye area as much as possible. If the shampoo does get in your dog's eyes, have an eye wash on hand that you can use. If your dog has eye goobers, Easton suggests wetting them and then using a toothbrush to softly remove them.
