I bath Mocha once a week. As long as you use a good, super moisturizing shampoo and conditioner you should be ok. When Mocha was a puppy he got dry skin for a while and I switched him to good shampoo and added more fish to his food and the problem never came back. Orijen has a All Fish Formula food that I mix with regular good and worked great.
I wash his face with wet cloth twice a day (morning and after dinner). I don't dump water or spray on face. Don't forget to brush his teeth everyday. A friend of mine does not do that and just spent $400 on her 3 year old poodle for blood test and teeth cleaning. Mocha is only 2 months younger and has pearly white teeth. You also need to wipe his face after brushing since the toothpaste often gets on his hair.
Good luck! |
