my dog

Does anyone have any idea why my dog would be so petrified of water, we always bathed him as a puppy, he never had any bad experiences with it, yet for some reason when I tried to bathe him on a hot day, he whined and cried bloody murder, you would have thought I was killing him.

Answer #1

If he his old he may have arthritis and it could be painful for him to stand for a long period of time

Answer #2

Probably too cold for him, I’ll try using luke warm water next time.

Answer #3

was the water too hot or cold?

Answer #4

could the dog have been hurt in some way (so you touching something sensitive hurt, or putting soap on it?)

Answer #5

I don’t think so, he is in good health, old but in good health.

Answer #6

Could be but he hasn’t shown any signs of it, he stills runs and jumps and plays, yet he is a cocker spaniel and they are good at hiding any signs of pain and problems.
