How often should you wash your dog?

The reason to bathe the dog is to keep them clean and fresh. The dog would just look fine without a bath.

Many dogs don't like to have baths and wait for this experience to be over.

For few owners, it is very difficult to give baths to their dogs so they avoid bath times as much as the dog does.

There are several reasons to bathe the dog. The dog has a habit of rolling around in the dirt.

During the summer season, days are warmer so fleas and ticks can be a big problem and bathing can help to kill parasites and reduce the itching problem.

Tips On Bathing Your Dog:
The first thing you want to do is introduce your dog to offer some Dog Treats, Dog Toys, and a feeling of love to get your dog to come to the bath, and every time they behave in a way that is helpful during bath time.

Be careful so that the water does not enter the dog's ears during the bath. If your dog lets you do it, put stuff cotton balls into their ears, if not, simply avoid spraying water.

Know About Types Of Dog Coats:
The type of coat the dog has is a key factor in how often he needs baths. But it is not as simple, shorter the hair, less washing is needed.  

For dogs with medium to large coats, baths could be needed from weekly to every 4-6 weeks, as long as the coat is properly maintained during baths.

Thick or double coat breeds such as Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Siberian Huskies, etc. Naturally, protect the dogs' skin and body seasonally.  

Overwashing could strip too much oil from the skin and disturb this process. The use of dog products specially made for De-shedding will help to avoid this.

Some dog coat types do not require regular baths due to the presence of natural oils that shed skin etc. And keep the fur from soaking up smells.

Dogs with smooth coats need frequent bathing because it is easy to simply wipe them clean between bathe.

If the dog has a more hair coat, they require haircuts as well as regular baths.

A full groom should be done about every four to twelve weeks, depending on how long you like to let their coat grow in length.

Use a good absorbent towel, so that it would absorb all the water and moisture content from the body surface.

Blow Dryer Uses:
If your dog has a thick coat, blow-drying is best to prevent spots and the chance of matting the fur.

Professional blow dryers get the job done much faster and help to blow out excess fur.

Allergies in Dogs:
Some dogs that have allergies or other medical issues that cause sensitive skin should be bathed at a time mentioned by a veterinarian.

Once their natural skin gets repaired, bathing too often might strip many oils and cause more irritation.

If your dog has allergies, such as grass, bathing should be done more often to remove any allergy from their skin and coat.

Some dogs develop a doggy smell and people want to remove that when they get dust or dirty. If your dog has any form of skin disease or allergies, it is important to talk to your vet before washing them.

When and How to use Brushes, Combs and De-shedding Tools:
Brush your dog's coat before getting them in the tub. It helps to remove excess fur that prevents the shampoo from penetrating the skin. 

When you find any mats that need detangling or trimming. The De-tangling mat and the trimmer is the best option for detangled and trimming for dog coats.

Keeping your pet clean is not just about washing. Brushing is helpful for the removal of shedding fur, prevention of painful tangles, removal of "doggy" smell by scraping away old oils and removing ticks and fleas, which can wiggle down into the skin of a dog.

Shampoos and Conditioners:
Use shampoo specially made for dogs. Avoid using human shampoo because they have a too high acidic level for your dog's skin and coat. 

Human shampoo can dry out their skin and coat and irritate scents and other chemicals. The pH balance of human skin is different from dogs.

Using a Dog conditioner on your dog's coat is optional; it helps in detangling any knots and makes your dog's coat extra soft. 

If you are bathing your dog then conditioning after shampooing helps to keep their skin and coat moisturized. 

Avoid using human conditioners, as these can disrupt your dog's pH balance and causes skin irritation.
