Wash the dog

Why this matters

Why bother?

Dogs need bathing for skin health and to prevent the dog smell from taking over your home. Over-washing strips natural oils though.

How often

Most dogs: every 4-6 weeks. More if they roll in things, less for dry-skinned breeds.

Pro tip

Brush before bathing — way easier than after. Use dog-specific shampoo; human shampoo is too harsh for their skin.
