Bathing my dogs

Philippines
June 5, 2022 12:43am CST
last Friday and sunny I finally bathed the dogs. Honestly I don’t usually bathe them anymore because of the storm last week. I saw someone post on Facebook that he bathes his dog every day. Isn't that bad? Even once or twice a week bath. I have another issue though, my dog soap kept disappearing and last time I bought two. Now, I kept it inside their med kit just in case. Have a nice day

I know it is not healthy to bath them every day. I think once a week might be good. I used to have trouble washing my dog because he really hates it and I got wet washing them.

Hello @rsa101 I think I know that is when they wiggle to attempt to dry themselves. I would tell them allow me to keep distance before they start to wiggle their bodies.

@Letranknight2015 That is correct. My dog used to despise baths, and if you pour water on him, he will wiggle the water out, getting me wet in the process.

He probably thinks they need daily baths as humans do @RebeccasFarm

That's great! I asked my youngest brother to let the dogs take a bath here.

Hello @Shavkat How often they get a bath. I usually give them a good bath once or twice a week.

It is very bad to bath a dog every day, once a week is more than enough.

Hello @LadyDuck I couldn't agree more. I actually did that before and they suffered a fever.

@Letranknight2015 Dogs have a natural coat protecting system which can get harmed by over-bathing. Some vets suggest every 15 days.

Once a week at the most and some breeds even less than that unless it is ordered by a vet for some reason. Brushing does a lot more good for them.

Hello @wolfgirl569 I actually gave my eldest dog a haircut. I might do it tomorrow.

It's not good to bathe dogs everyday. Maybe once in a week but not as often as it should be.

Bathing dogs out is such a tedious task, good thing my 2 boys do it for us. Bathing everyday for me is not good although certain breeds like labradors are natural water lovers.

Hello l @louievill Sadly, I bathe four dogs on my own. So, once a week is the only option for me.

Do your dogs like their baths. It is good to give them nice baths if they like them.

Years ago when l spent some time in New York l stayed with a friend for a few days. I had planned to stay longer but moved out when l saw her bathing the dog in the bathtub which we all used.

Hello @Kandae11 that's a problem, I wonder if that person cleans the bathtub afterwards. I don't even do that to my dogs, they are bath outside.

Every day does sound like WAY too much to bathe their dog. I would think it would dry out the dog's skin.

Hello @Kouponkaren I think this is true. Once a week is much better.
