How often should I bathe my dog, and what shampoo is best for sensitive skin?
[]
Answer
The frequency of bathing depends on your dog's breed, coat type, activity level, and skin condition. Generally, most dogs only need bathing every 1-3 months. Over-bathing can strip essential oils, leading to dry, irritated skin. For sensitive skin, look for a veterinarian-recommended, soap-free, hypoallergenic shampoo with ingredients like oatmeal or aloe vera, and ensure it's pH-balanced specifically for dogs. Always rinse thoroughly to avoid residue. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
