Holiday Clean-Up — Why a Post-Daycare or Post-Boarding Bath Is the Best Gift You Can Give Your Dog
Between muddy winter weather, festive activities, and lots of playtime, dogs can get dirty fast in December.
That’s why so many Baltimore pet parents add a bath to their daycare or boarding stay at The Downtown Dog Resort & Hospital.
Here’s why a holiday clean-up bath is the perfect treat.
1. Winter Weather = Messy Dogs
Snow, mud, and salt make winter one of the dirtiest seasons for pups.
A bath helps wash away:
Road salt
Dirt & mud
Winter odors
Dander buildup
Loose fur
Your home will thank you!
2. Post-Boarding Baths = Fresh for the Holidays
Many families return from holiday travel and go straight to:
Family gatherings
Holiday dinners
Visiting relatives
And nothing ruins the moment like a stinky dog greeting guests.
A bath ensures your dog looks and smells amazing.
3. Perfect After Daycare Playtime
Daycare is loads of fun, especially outdoors—but it can also mean:
Dust
Doggy drool
Rolling
A bath keeps your dog clean after all that excitement.
4. Better Skin & Coat Health
Regular bathing helps:
Reduce shedding
Remove allergens
Keep skin moisturized
Prevent matting in long coats
It's comfort and health in one.
5. Easy Add-On to Any Reservation
We make bath add-ons simple—and dogs LOVE the warm water in cold months.
Give Your Dog the Gift of Freshness This Season
Whether your pup stays for daycare or a luxury holiday boarding suite, a bath is the perfect finishing touch.
