Is there any reason to bathe him? The only thing I can think of is so he gets used to it, but I want to make sure that there is no other reason. |
You are not a bad mommy!
You must be lucky...I have a boy and he starts to smell like pee
within several days of his bath. (I have a very strong sense of smell I think.
)
I bathe mine pretty much every 7-10 days. Does your dog go outside at all? If so, then I think it's a good idea to regularly clean their hair and feet of any allergens and dirt they are collecting. It's also a good time to use an ear cleaner.
Overall comfort is probably better with regular baths. Mine always seem
relaxed and content afterwards.
Good luck!
