So I am having to try and figure out how to wash our 57+ pound 5 month old puppy on my own. I can't use the garden hose because it would shock his system due to the difference in temps. So that leaves little old me to try and get him into the tub (he hates baths) on my own to wash him. -.- also he is the correct weight for his age since he is a Mastiff. Lol!

Our hose has very cold water year round. The hose is 40°F and the outside temp is 90° F but feels like 105+. When we took our pups to the vet the asked how we are bathing them and I said I had planned on using the garden hose. But because of how cold the water is they said do not use the hose. They were treating several dogs for shock right now. I am only following the instructions of the vet.
