How often should I bath my dog, and with what kind of shampoo?

Answer
Bathing frequency depends on your dog's breed, coat type, activity level, and any skin conditions. Generally, most dogs don't need bathing more than once a month or every few months. Over-bathing can strip natural oils, leading to dry, irritated skin. Always use a dog-specific shampoo, as human shampoos have a different pH level and can be harmful. For dogs with sensitive skin or allergies, a hypoallergenic or medicated shampoo recommended by your vet is best. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance on specific product recommendations.
