How often should I bathe my dog?

This question is best addressed on an individual basis. Some dog breeds have more oily coats than others. These dogs may need to be bathed every two weeks. Other pets have dry skin and require a moisturizing shampoo. Bathing also is a personal preference for you as well. Many pet owners are sensitive to a "doggy" smell in the house. If this is the case weekly baths may be best.
