I'm so confused. I read about so many people bathing their dogs once a week (which sounds fine with me and ideal), but then I've heard and also read in magazines from Vets that you should only bathe your dog monthly or their skin will dry out and be itchy. But then in these same magazines in other articles they say if you plan on having a show dog be prepared to bathe them weekly! So is it really bad bathing your dog weekly or more than once a month like Vet's say not to do?
Anyways, I finally gave my girl her 1st bath today - she's 4 months old and I was told to wait this long before bathing her because puppies hair and skin are really sensitive. I can't tell you much I was dying to give her a bath!! She did excellent too.
Wondering if people prefer to bathe their dogs in a sink vs. a bathtub or vice versa though. I used the bathtub today because my girl is a squirmy little thing and thought it would be safer. I would prefer though using the sink, so I don't have to sit on the ground or tub ledge. Thoughts on sink vs. bath-tub? |
