Yeah I think you are drying out his skin with too much bathing...This can also be very bad for his coat...I was told by my vet that one bath every 3 weeks or so was the most healthy for the skin on a silky coated dog with no undercoat...However I bathe a little more frequently and as needed if Bruce gets super dirty...If your dog is getting really greasy and smelly in just 1-2 days and he is not doing anything unusual it would sound to me as if your pooch may have some sort of skin condition.
I am sure that in lieu of a total bath you could maybe just wipe the little guy down with a warm wash rag and brush him thoroughly. |
