Hygiene
Bath
A good bath starts with choosing the shampoo for that animal's skin and ends with drying them completely, which is where most fall short. It includes the brushing needed for the water to reach the skin instead of stopping at a knot. This isn't grooming for looks: it's hygiene.
Frequently asked questions
How often can they be bathed?
It depends on the coat and the life they lead. Generally, from once a month to once every two or three months. Bathing more than needed dries the skin and creates the very problem you're trying to avoid.
Can a puppy be bathed?
Yes, from eight weeks old and with a specific product. Before that the norm is spot cleaning: a full bath in a very small puppy drops their temperature too much.
Why does the drying matter so much?
Because the damp left at the base of the coat is where skin problems and smell start. A dog with a dense coat can take longer to dry than to bathe, and that time isn't optional.
