If you’re a pet owner, bath time can be a battle. All pets get stinky from time to time and need a bath. Problem is, most pets also hate baths. There are a few reasons why this be the case–your scented shampoos might bother them, or the water might weigh down their fur to an unpleasant degree, or they might just have no idea what’s going on. They can’t make us understand why they hate baths, and we can’t make them understand why they need them, and so conflict inevitably arises.
But if you’ve ever had the unfortunate task of bathing an unwilling animal, you know there’s a silver lining–once they’re soaking wet, they can look pretty hilarious. And so, in that spirit, here are 15 pets before and after taking a bath. (Via Bored Panda.) It’s going to take a LOT of treats and cuddles to smooth things over.
