How often should I bathe my dog and what kind of shampoo is best for his sensitive skin?
[]
Answer
The frequency of bathing depends on your dog's coat type, lifestyle, and any skin conditions. Generally, most dogs only need bathing every few weeks to a few months. Over-bathing can strip natural oils, leading to dry, irritated skin. For sensitive skin, look for a hypoallergenic, soap-free, or oatmeal-based shampoo specifically formulated for dogs. Avoid human shampoos, as their pH balance is different. Always rinse thoroughly to prevent residue that can irritate the skin. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
