Bathing your dog isn’t just about keeping them smelling fresh; it’s essential for their skin, coat, and overall health. But how often is too often? Let’s break it down by breed type, lifestyle, and coat needs.
Why Bathing Frequency Matters
Over-bathing can strip natural oils, leading to dry skin, while under-bathing can result in odor and matting. The key is balance.
Bathing Guide by Coat Type
-
Short-Haired Breeds (e.g., Beagle, Boxer): Every 6–8 weeks
-
Double-Coated Breeds (e.g., Golden Retriever, Husky): Every 4–6 weeks
-
Curly-Coated Breeds (e.g., Poodle, Bichon Frise): Every 3–4 weeks
-
Hairless or Low-Shedding Breeds (e.g., Chinese Crested): Every 2–3 weeks
Lifestyle & Activity Factors
Dogs that swim, hike, or roll in dirt may need more frequent baths. Skin conditions or allergies also impact timing.
