You must be thinking is the medical guidance not enough that there are rules on bathing pets too! Are you? Well, there are certainly no rules on how many times can you bathe your pets, but one should take the necessities into consideration before bathing.
Dogs do not need frequent baths as humans do. Thus it is recommended not to give more than a single bath in a month. If you are giving a bath to your pooch every week then you may have noticed his fur to have turned dry and dull. It may be better if you lower your pooch’s bathing frequency.
Bathing frequently washes of the oils that remain on the dog’s coat which ultimately becomes the reason of their dry coat. Their skin may turn flaky if you wash them more than necessary, which means more dander or other skin related issues.
Though there are always exceptions! If your dog has a habit of having a regular swim then you may wash him after his swim, but only with plain water. The other option that you may choose to protect the beauty of the fur along with frequent baths is to use a soap-free or a moisturizing shampoo. You can use Malaseb Shampoo for Dogs and Cats as well as Malacetic conditioner.
In all, the monthly bath may be fine with your pooch in regular cases. For exceptional cases, you need to take proper care and use shampoos that have a low content of soap and more of moisturizing ingredients. Have fun!
