Dogs need baths to keep their skin and coat clean and healthy. The frequency of baths depends on the dog's breed, activity level, and skin condition. Generally, dogs should be bathed every 4-6 weeks, but some may need more frequent baths if they get dirty often or have skin issues.

Dogs only need to be bathed about once a month unless there are other conditions that call for another bath. Some dogs can go for much longer without needing to be bathed. Cocker Spaniels can have more issues with their skin and coat; more frequent bathing may be needed for the cocker spaniel than with the pit bull.

How often do labs need to be bathed?

Only bathe when necessary (dirty, smelly...). The shampoo will remove important body oils from the pup which improves coat condition. I bathe both my grown adult dogs maybe every 3-4 months (or if they get really dirty/smelly). Puppies can be bathed around the same timespan. Get them used to the water way before considering giving them a bath, fill the bathtub a few inches, get some toys and play with him/her. This way they LOVE taking baths. When you do give them a bath, be sure to use a gentle dog shampoo - I have found that an oatmeal base is very good for their skin.

What household things can you use to make your dog smell better naturally?

Dogs should not have a bad smell (unless they are wet). If your animal does, consider getting a vet's input. You can also brush her teeth every day with a toothpaste made especially for dogs. Use a nonalcoholic, unperfumed baby wipe to clean your pet's anus after she defecates to remove any scent of feces. Wipe down her coat when necessary with an organic bath wipe made only for pets. These can be found in a food co-op or health food store. Consult with your groomer or vet to find out how often your pooch should be bathed.


How long do dogs usually take a shower?

Dogs usually don't take showers. When their human bathes them, the human decides how long the dog should be in the bath or shower.


How many times do dogs have to have a shower?

Dogs have very sensitive skin. The more they are bathed, the more of a chance there is of drying out their skin. Excessively dry skin can lead to chronic skin problems. Most dogs do not need to bathed unless they are quite dirty or have rolled in something smelly, and even still, a spot cleaning might be all that's needed. If your dog needs to be bathed, limit it to just once a month, and use a shampoo especially formulated for dogs, to help ensure that their skin's delicate pH is protected.
