For dogs with sensitive skin, bathing frequency depends on the specific condition and the type of shampoo used. Over-bathing can strip natural oils, exacerbating dryness and irritation, while too little bathing might allow allergens or irritants to accumulate. Generally, for sensitive skin, bathing every 3-4 weeks with a veterinarian-recommended, soap-free, hypoallergenic, or medicated shampoo is often appropriate. Always rinse thoroughly to ensure no shampoo residue remains. Your veterinarian can provide tailored advice based on your dog's individual skin health.
