How often should I bathe my puppy?
Please let me know.

I.marie is exactly right. My dog had a major problem with scratching all the time and the vet said I was bathing too much and causing his skin to dry out. Once a month is my vets rule. There are great products on the market for in between cleanings that you just spray on and towel off, but only if needed.

According to thepetcenter.com:
"You can bathe a dog whenever it really needs to be cleaned up. In general, though, a bath every three weeks is about right. And some breeds like Dobes, Boston Terriers and others with short coats may rarely need a bath. Old English Sheepdogs and Collies are a different story!"

Veterinarians, however, say less is better because frequent bathing can cause dry skin!
