Reasons why you shouldn’t bath your dog daily

• Over bathing your dog can really dry out their skin, causing itching and flaking.
• Over bathing your dog depletes the natural oils which will not only contribute to dry skin, but it will also reduce your dog’s natural coat.
• Use the proper kind of shampoo and conditioner that will treat your dog’s coat properly.
• It is important to always make sure you check the temperature of the water.
• Make sure the water is lukewarm and deep enough to wet the whole body but not too deep to make the dog fear drowning.

In general, your dog can be bathed safely once a month, or even as little as twice a year if they spend less time outside.

If your dog has rolled in something smelly, you can just shower him with warm water or wipe the area with a wet cloth.
