    How often do you bathe your dog/s?

    ...and what sort of shampoo do you use?

    My dogs get a bath every 2-3 weeks, though, they just had a bath this morning after going 4 weeks without one...I'll never let them go that long again. As far as shampoo & conditioner goes, I usually just use Lambert Kay Fresh & Clean because it works well, smells nice, is easily found, and not too expensive. I'm constantly looking for better shampoos though because as much as I like this one, I'm sure there are better.

    I bathe them when they start to smell real bad, which would be now.

    Add some salmon oil to her diet to get rid of the dry skin

    whenever needed. Happy and Misty is almost never, BCs have teflon coats, they run and roll in mud and as soon as the water drys the muds fall off and they look like new lol if they get in the creek(which is VERY stinky) no problem there either, the smell vannishes with the dirt. Blair was bathed almost every day when we let his hair get long, it was getting really annoying because EVERYTHING stuck to it and got tangled in it, every day we brushed him and pulled branches out of his coat. finally we got fed up and cut it off lol and we totally shave his paws, we call then poodle feet Ripley and Perky get bathes when my mom chooses to given then bathes, which is usually only when they have a freestyle preformance to do.

    Molly and Prince get bathed about 3 times a year.
    Astra as needed, which is usually once a month or so.

    I give all my dogs a bath (well most of the time Eric does it, I blow-dry and comb) about every 3 weeks to once a month or more if they got into something smelly. We have 2 kinds of shampoos we use, one is lavendar scented and one smells like cedar. They smell so good afterwards!

    Now that we have a pool Nova only needs to be bathed about once a month, whereas before it was once a week. The baths and pool have helped calm down her allergies. I wash her in an aloe and oatmeal shampoo.

    The other three get bathed two or three times a year. I wash them in the Furminator shampoo and conditioner for a couple reasons. It smells incredibly good and doesn't act up my allergies, whereas most scented shampoos do. It also makes their fur feel really soft for a few days, Mandy's especially.
