Actually, dressing an animal refers to bleeding the critter and then removing the internal organs. This is should be done very soon after killing the animal, This is done to remove harmful bacteria and to immediately cool the carcass, thus aiding in preserving the meat. The next step is to remove the hide, aka flaying. Then it is ready for butchering.
Few people forget their first experience field dressing an animal. For more than a few people it is their first and last time.

After it's shot who dresses it?
Dressing is short for bleed, gut and butcher if you're a city kid.
