Default Bathing Dogs

How often do you bathe your dogs? I am bathing mine every 2 weeks right now, but I'm honestly thinking of going to every week. The fleas are out of reason this year and it's all I can do to keep ahead of them. Is this too much?

I hear different things about this. Some say once a month but I think if you are having flea problems and use a good doggie shampoo that won't dry out his/her skin then you do what you need to do to keep the flea off of them and in your house!

We don't seem to be having any problem with fleas (thankfully) so we only bathe or dog once a month. Of course if she rolls in something or gets dirty she gets a bath that day!

The key is to use a shampoo that is not too harsh on the dog. You need to be careful to not dry out the dogs skin - then the dog will itch and it won't be from fleas.

No flea problems here either so once a month for us.

Lately with the little one I have started twice a week because even while being an inside dog, he can go outside and get a little stinky. I found a nice over the counter 3 in 1 shampoo that works pretty good too.
