How Often Should You Bathe Your Dog?

Dog Bath!

A common mistake pet parents make is only giving their dogs a bath when they get super dirty.

Of course, too many baths may dry out his skin, while too few may have you saying pee-yew!

Fortunately, there’s some middle ground when it comes to canine hygiene.

You should make bathing a regular routine (once a month for dogs with normal skin and fur), and chose the right shampoo.  Never use human shampoos or soaps on your pup ~ choose a gentle dog shampoo for routine bathing, such as our Revitalizing Shampoo for Dogs & Cats.

The simple answer is: how often do you want to bathe your dog?

Unless a dog has serious skin problems, there is no specific need to bathe the dog except to make him a more enjoyable companion.

Just like us humans, some dogs get stinky faster than others.

If he runs all day and plays with other animals, he’ll probably get stinky after a week or less. If you want to bathe more often than that, use our moisturizing shampoo with natural emollients to prevent the skin from becoming dry and your dog feeling uncomfortable with the scent coming from perfumed chemicals.

Between baths, be sure to use our Bath Fresh Mist to keep your pet cleaner, longer.

In the long run, your fur kid probably won’t mind being caressed more often when he is clean and tidy.
