The truth is ugly: dogs have to take a bath from time to time.
But, another truth is even uglier: doggy bath time often turns out to be a horrible experience.
Sure, there’s nothing worse than the smell of a wet dog, but picture this: a wet dog shaking off its coat in your face or running around the house soaking wet.
Yeah, that sounds pretty terrible, too!
Some of the pups you’re about to see have deliberately chosen to get wet. Others couldn’t raise their voice and protest against bathing. What both groups have in common is that they all look ridiculous when wet.
I present to you 29 wet dogs that look more like Gremlins than dogs when they get wet!
1. Some Pups Turn Into Bear Cubs
Seriously, how is this not a little bear cub? Come on!

2. A Change Of The Dimension
From which dimension did this wet dog crawl out of? Well, to me, he looks like he got straight outta nightmare!

3. The Face Of Despair
Once, I was a good-looking dawg… once… Now, look at what she did to me! She washed off all my fluffy fabulousness.

4. Water Helps Us Transform
Hold your horses! This is not a real polar bear being held as an indoor pet. It’s just a friendly pup that likes being transformed into a cuddle bear during bath time. Yeah, those foam hairstyles are so level under!

5. You Will Regret This, Hooman
I’d sleep with one eye open tonight. This pup didn’t take his bath well. I can’t even imagine the things going on inside his mind. The revenge will be painful.

6. Water Dissolves Fluffiness
He went from a fluffy boy to a wet boy in seconds. All that fluffiness is gone. You can see clearly what he’s thinking on his face: Will I ever be a fluffy Newfypoo again?

7. It’s Not Funny At All
You think this is funny, don’t you? What if I took a hose and gave you an icy-cold bath? Would that be funny?

8. A Cry For Help
Can someone save this poor soul from getting a bath? He’s clearly shaking, wishing he could escape.

9. I See No Problem Here
What do you mean by ‘I can’t go inside’? I’m wet because I had fun playing in the rain. You know, your home could use a bit of “wet dog scent”. Smells too clean for my taste.

10. Pretend We Like It
Listen, Hugo… pretend we like this bath thing. Later, when she falls asleep, we’ll poop in her favorite shoes as revenge.

11. I Have My Thinking Mohawk On
Some dogs like foamy hairstyles, while others prefer to wear their thinking mohawks. You can tell this doggo is thinking about his next snack.

12. I May Look Like A Giant Rat, But What About You?
It’s not nice to call me names, Karen. How would you feel if I said you look like a rat, too?
![wet dog standing in a bath and looking into camera](https://www.pupvine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/wet-dog-standing-in-a-bath.jpg)
13. His Favorite Part
He’ll suffer through bath time just because he knows this comes afterward: cuddling session in a blanket with mommy.
![cute wet dog in a towel in owner's arms](https://www.pupvine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/cute-wet-dog-in-a-towel.jpg)
14. I Swear This Is Not How I Usually Look
This bad lady came by and gave me a bath. I look disgusting. I’m not fluffy nor fabulous. I’m just pathetic.
![wet and dry dog on the bed](https://www.pupvine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/wet-and-dry-dog.jpg)
15. As If He Doesn’t Look Bad Already
Yes, because that’s exactly what this pup needs: bunny ears. Seriously, hooman… cut him some slack.
![small dog having bath looking into camera](https://www.pupvine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/small-dog-having-bath.jpg)
16. Looks Like A Sad Old Man
And, a grumpy one, too!

17. The Face Of Revenge
You’re gonna pay for this, Sharon. My revenge will be sweet! Mua-ha-haaa!

18. It’s The Legs’ Fault
Those tiny legs just have to drag him through the wet grass. If Doxies were taller, none of this would happen.

19. Tiny Dogs Have Tiny Baths
The kitchen sink is the pawfect place to make a tiny bath for a tiny pup.

20. He’s Done It Again, Right?
He made me a whole set… a beard, a mustache, and an old man’s eyebrows, didn’t he? I swear, this has to stop!
![small cute dog having a bath looking like an old man](https://www.pupvine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/small-cute-dog-having-a-bath.jpg)
21. Excuse Me, Sir… May I Be Excused?
Bath time is over, and now this poor pupper wants to go out and dry himself in a cozy blanket. Such a polite little pupper!
![wet dog sitting in a bath and looking into camera](https://www.pupvine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/wet-dog-sitting-in-a-bath.jpg)
22. Will Someone Brush Me Already?
I told her a million times: if my hair dries this way, it stays this way. Please, brush me now!
![shaggy wet dog looking funny](https://www.pupvine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/shaggy-wet-dog.jpg)
23. Woke Up From My Nap And Bam… Bath Time!
Someone just woke up from a nap and got an unpleasant surprise. Not a good way to be woken up at all.
![wet dog looking sleepy having bath](https://www.pupvine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/wet-dog-looking-sleepy.jpg)
24. Don’t Look At Me!
I’m hideous… don’t look at me! All my fluffiness is dissolved. I’m a disgrace to all fluffy white pooches.

25. What Kind Of Sorcery Is This?
She was fluffy, and a moment later, all her fluffiness disappeared. What is water? Some kind of sorcery?

26. Her Wonderful Curls Are Gone
You can clearly tell she’s begging you to grab a blow dryer and a brush to restore her lovely, curly ears. A Cavalier girl is nothing without her curls!

27. Another Wet Rat
Who you callin’ wet rat, you wet rat? I’mma come after you, watch yo back!

28. The Proud Face
Yes, I did get into the water. Is there a problem? I don’t see a problem. The day is hot, so…

29. Monster From The Depths
Here, we see a monster from the depths getting outside the water for his daily walk.
