I haven't bathed Bailey yet, but I will if he get's really dirty and/or smelly. I just wipe him down with a damp towel or a baby wipe. If a dog is bathed too often the skin will be stripped of its natural, protective oils. This will result in dry itchy skin, which will cause your dog to scratch, further irritating the already sensitive skin. If I needed to bath Bailey frequently, I would use a dog shampoo that will get him clean and moisturize his skin. I would probably also use a coat conditioner specifically formulated for dry skin (the after bath kind).
