How often can you bath a shiba inu?

Answer 1

Unlike some other breeds of dog, Shar-peis very often have a distinct dislike of water (no matter how clean). When walking a Shar-pei, one will likely notice the dog will actively avoid even the smallest of puddles, as well as mud, and they may be reluctant to go out in rain or snow. Part of this is a result of the Shar-peis wiring- they are highly cleanly dogs. Western Shar-peis (most Shar-peis in North America were introduced in the 1970s by way of Hong Kong and very poorly bred) are predisposed to many health problems, including several skin conditions, and as such, bathing the Shar-pei must be done at intervals sufficient to keep the dog clean but not to irritate their sensitive skin/fur. This can typically be done less frequently than other breeds.

Answer 2

If this is a dog then i suggest once or twice a month, mainly after long walks because they can get very muddy. also keep a towel handy so you can wipe its paws of all the mud.

Answer 3

Typically when the puppy reaches 8 weeks old. Shih-Tzus don't really need to bath weekly
