How Often to Bathe Your Dog

Bathe 

How often you need to bathe your dog depends on a number of factors, including their breed, coat type, and lifestyle.

Oily Coats

 Some breeds, such as Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers, have oily coats that may need to be bathed more often, every few weeks.

Breeds

Other breeds, such as Poodles and Yorkshire Terriers, have dry coats that only need to be bathed every 6-8 weeks.

Active 

Active dogs that spend a lot of time outdoors may need to be bathed more often, every few weeks or even weekly.

Allergies

Dogs with allergies may need to be bathed more often to remove allergens from their skin.

Overbathing

Overbathing can dry out your dog's skin and coat, so it's important to bathe them only as often as needed.

Vet

If you have any questions or concerns about how often to bathe your dog, talk to your veterinarian.
