The frequency of bathing depends on your dog's skin and coat type, activity level, and any specific conditions. For a dog with dry skin, over-bathing can strip natural oils and worsen the condition. Generally, 2-4 times a year is sufficient for many dogs, or when truly dirty. Use a moisturizing, pet-specific shampoo, and consider an oatmeal-based or dermatological shampoo recommended by your vet. Address the dry skin with diet and possibly supplements. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
