I gave Royce a bath this afternoon and he really gave me a hard time especially when i was washing his face he didnt stop struggling .
Now he is very quiet and wants only to sleep. at this time of the day he is usually full of energy running and olaying with toys . i;m worried something might be wrong .

Cali gets all wound up when I bathe her and then crashes. Today I had her outside with me while I was cleaning my garden and she came in and slept all afternoon. I'm sure it was the bath.

I dont think you should be worried! He probably just got worn out from the bath! My girls do the same thing bc they start pouting and then they go to sleep!

Sherman always crashes after his bath. I usually give him a bath near his bed time so that he's done for the night....

I think he got tired during his bath, remember he struggle with you all thru his bath. My Gucci gets crazy after her bath, she rubs her body all lover the furniture to dry herself and then crashes. Im pretty sure your baby is fine.

Marie - my dogs have all been like yours. They go totally nuts after their bath. They run all over - rub themselves on everything - and actually are very very playful.

I have never noticed them sleeping any more than usual after a bath....they sleep a lot anyway. If my dogs are tired after a bath - I think it would more because of their "after bath behavior" rather than the bath, itself.
