You definatly shouldn't have a problem bathing him once every two weeks or even once a week, that's what most of us do, but if his skin is really dry, you do need something really moisturizing and definatly a good conditioner. Make sure you're rinsing very well also.

If a better food and good grooming products don't work, talk to your vet
As always Jenn this is amazing advise
