The frequency of bathing depends on your dog's breed, coat type, activity level, and any skin conditions. Generally, most dogs only need to be bathed every 1-3 months. Bathing too frequently can strip natural oils, leading to dry, itchy skin. For dogs with skin issues, your veterinarian might recommend a specific medicated shampoo or a more frequent bathing schedule. Always use a dog-specific shampoo, as human shampoos can be too harsh. Rinse thoroughly to prevent residue buildup, which can also irritate the skin.
