How often should I bathe my dog, and what products should I use for sensitive skin?

[]

Answer

Bathing frequency depends on your dog's breed, coat type, activity level, and skin condition. For most dogs, bathing every 1-3 months is sufficient, but those with sensitive skin may need specific protocols. Use a veterinarian-recommended, soap-free, hypoallergenic shampoo explicitly designed for dogs with sensitive or itchy skin. Avoid harsh human shampoos, as they can strip natural oils and disrupt the skin's pH balance. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
