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.

Do guinea pigs like to be bathed and how often?

Are black labs aggressive?

Absolutely not. Labradors by their very nature are gentle, loving and loyal pets. They'd much rather play than be aggressive. If you have one that's aggressive (and I really hate to say this), chances are it was made that way. As a side note, although most labs are NOT aggressive with people, labs can be aggressive with other animals. In fact, it is worth noting that labs are more dominant and independent than many dogs. Any dog can be aggressive and that's why you need to establish yourself as the boss. If you research black lab aggression, you will find many cases (specifically, involving other dogs).

How many times can you bathe baby rabbits?

You should not bathe baby rabbits, or bunnies - especially if they're new born. Their mothers will take care of that. If they have grown their hair and teeth, then you should bathe them 4 times a year. Rabbits really have no need to be bathed unless they have had grooming issues (diarrhea) or have been loose and rolled in the dirt or you suspect fleas (then a flea bath is in order). Never bathe a rabbit under 2 months old.
