The frequency of bathing depends on your dog's breed, coat type, activity level, and any skin conditions. Generally, bathing every one to three months is sufficient for most dogs. Over-bathing can strip natural oils, leading to dry, irritated skin. Always use a shampoo specifically formulated for dogs, as human shampoos can be too harsh and disrupt their skin's pH balance. If your dog has sensitive skin or allergies, your vet might recommend a specific medicated shampoo. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
