How Often Should You Really Bathe Your Dog?
Bathe dogs every 4-6 weeks, depending on breed and activity.
Overbathing causes dry skin, irritation, and disrupts natural oils.
Puppies need gentle care; bathe them every 2-4 weeks.
Use dog-specific shampoo suited for coat and skin conditions.
Human shampoo harms dogs by upsetting their skin’s pH balance.
Between baths, brush regularly and use wipes or dry shampoos.
Sensitive skin dogs need fragrance-free shampoos and less frequent baths.
Indoor dogs usually bathe less often, about every 6-8 weeks.
Regular brushing reduces shedding, prevents mats, and distributes oils.
