How often should I bathe my dog, and what kind of shampoo is best?
[]
Answer
The frequency of bathing depends on your dog's breed, coat type, activity level, and any skin conditions they might have. Generally, bathing every 1-3 months is sufficient for most dogs. For dogs with skin allergies or medical conditions, your vet might recommend more frequent bathing with a specific medicated shampoo. Always use a shampoo formulated specifically for dogs, as human shampoos can be too harsh and disrupt their skin's pH balance, leading to irritation. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
