Hi! Thanks for your time! My little dog Baxter is white, so he gets dirty pretty fast. I usually give him baths about 1nce a week (that was okayed my our vet) but because the weather is so cold now, he is sooo cold after his baths, eventually we warm him up though. Any tips for keeping him warm after his baths? And is it ok to give him baths in the winter?

It is ok to give Baxter baths in the winter. I'd have a heater in the bathroom to keep the room warm for when when gets out of the bath. You can also get a heated towel rack, and dry him with heated towels. I hope this helps.
