Dogs are like kids, most of them don’t like to take baths but even short haired dogs need proper grooming and a bath occasionally. Bathing too often can take away the natural oils that keep a dogs skin smooth and healthy. How much washing is too much depends on the humidity and the type of shampoo used. A general rule of thumb is that a good brushing is usually enough to keep your dog freshened up. In addition to removing dirt, a regular brushing will remove hair and make your dog more comfortable. Bathing is appropriate when a dog has body odor especially if he’s rolled in something that he shouldn’t have. A good rule to remember is that a dirty dog needs a brush and a smelly dog needs a bath. After his bath, give him some dog treats to keep him happy!
Remember pets are family!
