You still hit her with the freezing cold hose or bring her inside in the shower?

Always inside in a bathtub

my vet only charges $15 for a basic bath, they call me when she's dry.

If my dogs will jump in the lake/pond with ice in it, I dont think they mind the hose. My brittany though, is easier to just throw in the tub

One of our carwashed has a dog wash with warm water. Looks like this:

I don't wash my lab in the winter, the oil keeps him waterproof = warmer.

I don't. I'll cut some cockleburs out though.

I have a GSD who loves the pool. Because of this, I have not bathed her in around 6 months. She loves the water even when it is freezing out. Anyways, I throw a ball or Frisbee in the water and put shampoo on her and repeat. This works better because she detests the shower.

I've watched my dog hit the water at full speed to get a sip and it be below freezing. If he stinks he's getting a bath outside.

I've got a GSP. I was told you're not supposed to bathe them so I never have. If we're at the house in the city and she gets muddy somehow and I don't want that inside I just hose that part of her off. Never used soap on her though. She doesn't smell like labs do so it's not really an issue for me and her coat always looks great so it doesn't seem to be a need for her either.

Outside with the hose.

In Louisiana you usually have enough warm days during the winter to not have to bath them when it's 40 or below. I usually put him in the shower with me though.

Lab jumps in the pool daily just because- don't have to worry about it. Has always been warm enough during some of the winter months for an outside bath for the heeler and beagle if needed.
