The frequency of bathing depends on your dog's breed, coat type, activity level, and any skin conditions. For most dogs, a bath every 1-3 months is sufficient to keep their coat clean and healthy without stripping natural oils. Dogs with oily coats or specific skin issues might benefit from more frequent bathing with specialized shampoos, as advised by a vet. Over-bathing can indeed lead to dry, itchy skin. Always use a dog-specific shampoo, as human products can disrupt their skin's pH balance. If you notice skin irritation or dryness, adjust your bathing schedule.
