Bathe you puppy as much as you need to. As long as she is getting a high grade food and you use an all natural shampoo you will not hurt her.

A weekly bath is a good experience for a puppy as it helps them to grow accustomed to the routine of grooming so they will not fight is when they are older. Combing daily is also important. Puppies usually don't appear to need to be combed but do it anyway as the puppy will grow to expect it and will accept it as she gets older.

If your baby gets wet from accidents frequently then you can do a partial bath in the sink if you want. Just wet and lather the area that got wet or dirty and rinse well. Keep her warm afterward or lightly blow dry if she is not too freaked out by the sound.

Traditional shampoos that have sulfates in them are drying to the skin. There are several good all natural or organic pet shampoos and conditioners available. I use Yorkie Splash and Shine products but there are other all natural brands that many on YT use that work well also.

What you are using sounds like a sulfate shampoo. Unless it says "all natural" most products may only have one or two natural ingredients in them. Read labels carefully.
