If you are using a shampoo designed for dogs, it may be fine to wash your dog every month. But you do run the risk of the skin and coat drying out. Make sure you use a really gentle shampoo, and rinse, rinse, and rinse again. Even a tiny bit of the shampoo that isn't rinsed out can cause skin irritation. Maybe a better way to answer this question is to ask you a question. Why do you feel it is necessary to wash your dog every month? Is it because the coat is flaky and dry, probably not a good idea then. Instead add some oil, like fish oil or olive oil to their food, and use a doggy conditioner after you wash your dog to help replace some of the moisture and balance to the skin and coat. Do they have a skin condition, sores, lesions, weepy spots, hives, etc? If so the first thing you should do is see a vet to rule out an infection, fungus, or parasite. Then there are good preparations that will help heal common problems like heat spots, etc. There are dog shampoos that contain oatmeal and other ingredients that can help soothe dry, itchy skin. Is he kept somewhere where he gets dirty and stinky too quickly? If so maybe fix the area, wash his bedding, put down mulch to help with the mud, and keep him indoors with you more often. Dogs really need to be part of the pack, and you are his pack, so keeping him where you are is much better for his emotional health.

What will happen if you give a dog a bath 2 times?
Two times when? A year, a month, a day, an hour? It wouldn't be good to give a dog a bath more than once a month (if they are a double coated dog- i.e. dog that shed a lot), because it can cause skin irritation. generally a double coated dog is fine to have a bath as few times as possible unless it's extremely dirty. a couple times a year (maybe one bath per season) would be fine. With single coated dogs that need professional grooming, some need to be bathed once a month, others more, it depends on the breed, the hair, the purpose (show dog? just a pet?).
