How often should I bathe my dog, and what products are safe to use?

[]

Answer

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.
