Rinsing Your Poodle
As important as making sure you thoroughly wash your Poodle may be, rinsing your
Poodle is even more important. If you don't get all the shampoo out, you could
cause skin issues. Shampoo left on the skin can cause lesions because of
irritation and chewing. Bacteria is then free to invade the skin. When you think
you have thoroughly rinsed then rinse one more time.
