Bathing is more than hygiene—it’s a ritual that maintains skin and coat health. Frequency varies by coat type and activity level.
Short Coats: Once every 4–6 weeks, unless soiled.
Long/Curly Coats: Every 3–4 weeks with proper brushing to prevent tangles.
Double Coats: Less frequent baths, focus on dry brushing.
Lifestyle Considerations:
Active dogs or those outdoors may require more frequent baths. Sensitive skin dogs may need hypoallergenic shampoos.
FAQs:
- Is dry shampoo safe? Only if formulated for dogs.
- Can overbathing cause irritation? Yes, too frequent baths remove natural oils.
