News anchor Gretchen Fullido considers Chihuahuas as easy-to-maintain pets. She talked about her pet dog’s bathing routine to explain this. “I don’t usually bring her to the groomers because she’s deficient maintenance,” she said via her Instagram page last Friday, Sept. 2, where she also showed a video of Party while bathing.
Fullido is grateful that her Chihuahua dog Party loves bathing. And that the dog is not fussy and demanding when it is time to take a bath.
Fullido said that Party uses hypoallergenic shampoo and conditioner, a must since the dog is a Chihuahua with thick hair, which needs to be conditioned, to keep the hair “soft, smooth and shiny.”
Party also loves to towel-dry herself by rubbing her entire body and face on the towel.
“I enjoy watching her do that, actually,” Fullido said.
The next step is to blow dry her pet’s hair using low to medium heat, depending on the need. If the weather is cold, more heat is needed when drying.
Fullido then brushed her dog’s hair and removed all excess hair to allow more hair growth.
“Having small dogs with thick hair is deficient maintenance once you get them to a routine and when you teach them to enjoy this sometimes tedious chore for some,” she said
