hi everyone,
i try to bath my dog once a week but because she got skin problem and body odour, then i have to bath her twice a week. that's the maximum if not the skin and the fur will dry. sometimes once a week. it depends whether i got class or not. i never use hair dryer to blow dry my dog's fur. natural dry is fine. it's just like human's hair.

I bath my doggie weekly..... I wonder is this enough for her ? Any advise ?
I start to see ticks on the body... I bought a anti-tick medic for her, it didn't really help. Do anyone has a 'good' solution to remove tick, or reduce the ticks on the doggie ? I didn't let my doggie outside, but I still see ticks.
I went to a pet shop, they introduce me a kind of medic, where we just need to apply on one spot (recomended the dog's neck), and it will last for 4-6 weeks, where that's no ticks on the dog. Is this working ? I never tried.

Hi
I bathe my girls every 4 to 5 days... but it may be a lil more than i shud... some ppl say if we bathe too often, we will wash away the natural shine on the coat...
As for ticks... my girls are kept inside the house but they still do pick up some occasionally due to the enviroment... possible causes its the garden or stray dogs or neighbour's dogs...
I have read that garlic helps... some give raw but not many dogs will eat it raw coz of its smell... there are garlic in capsules... personally, i give garlic as supplement & use anti tick solution bought from supermarket... tickicide... its for rinsing thru the dogs body during bath... I also use the same solution to mop & claen the house floors... I do this monthly to prevent the ticks... so far it works for me...

As lesser you bath your dog as better it is for its fur and skin. They do have a natural oil which helps them to stay clean und healthy. However, if the dog is dirty then no choice. If it is not to bad you can use baking soda. Rub it thru the fur and brush it out. The smell and the dirt are gone. Easy and safe. In our climate here it is not always possible to follow that (to humid), so I use a wet towel to rub my dog clean. Last but not least, if you add some apple cider vinegar to the rinsing water then the dog will smell like your salad, has a healthier skin and ticks & flies don't like that either.
Spot-on product is safe and good, but you might have to use it every month, same time with heart guard makes it easier to remember. Remove ticks as fast as you discover them. Use a special tick pincer (easier for beginners) and twist while slowly pulling. Make sure that nothing left inside the dog, otherwise danger of infection. Ticks can survive for up to 2 years without blood, so once you have ticks inside the house, you have a long battle ahead.

Of course, all dogs are unique and the conditions are different too. In Europe, you would probably never bath your dog and it would be fine. In Malaysia, the humidity and heat takes its toll on the skin and fur and you have to bath your dog in regular intervals.
Said that, I still believe that it is generally not good for the dogs skin and fur and dog owners should be cautious – not about the water but about the soap/shampoo.
If you would let him jump into the sea (around PD?) and rinse with fresh water afterwards, he might be very happy and hungry without having his usual bath and it is fun too. We are getting lots of spectators whenever we are at the beach.

To let him jump out to the sea area such as PD..i have to drive 1 hours...i think i dont have the stamina to drive him 1 hours just for a bath.. That why i use shampoo as mild as possible...but as you know it still not good but it has to be done that why

Sure, that is entirely up to you.
I don’t drive to PD every weekend but it is a nice activity and we enjoy it very much. The dog can play fetch, swim and dig as much as he likes. Of course, Leonberger dogs have great love for water and have webbed paws that makes them excellent swimmers.
Basically, I tried to caution everyone about the usage of shampoo and the risk of damaging the sensitive ph-level. Anyway, you seem to know about the problem and you are taking well care of it.
