I try to bathe my two puggies once a week but sometimes it really feels like a chore. Would love to bathe them less frequently but then they start to smell like dogs!
Although they are kept in the house and only go out to the porch for their biz, they do start to smell after a week, sigh. Once a month would be ideal but mana boleh tahan - adoi, think the doggies themselves also cannot tahan
I use dog soap - wonder if there are other shampoo that will keep them cleaner longer

Hi there.
Yup, if kena them stinky things then sure must wash & wash.
Ours sleep with us too, on the beds. One (Pinky) with the grandma on her own pillow & the other (Baby) with me on my right shoulder & sharing my pillow!! I always tell her that Mummy smells of her
But gotta confess, *whispering*, I love to smell them especially their faces & if no bathe then better smell

Hi there !! I have to bath my furkid once a week if not...getting smelly already...the vet told me that i can bath my furkid at least once a week and advice not to use hair dryer. have to put a fan in front of the cage to dry him up. My furkid have long coat and it's kind of hard to dry sometimes. Some more the vet also advice me to bath them when the sun is hot and around 12pm -2 pm is the best time to bath them. If he gets smelly after 2-3 days after bathing, then i will use the fragrance powder on him..

My hubby used to bath our Rottweiler once a week, but now almost every other day. (After another Rottie owner recommended a bath shampoo that won't wash away the furkids' oil coating). It was really great! We like our dog clean so that she can stay in the living room watching TV together.

Through my research on keeping a lab, it said actually we dun need to clean the lab so often bcos lab got two layer flur, even it's dirty, we can jz use plain water to wash it away n then dry it up. But i still vote weekly bcos i want my doggie smell gd n can sit on sofa to watch tv together.
P/S: I haven got the puppy yet but that's what my planning

yeah we wash our dogs every day after their morning walk coz they also sleep ith us. But they don't get washed with shampoo every day, just to get the mud and dirt off and keep them cool.

I dont use dog shampoo. Either Saturday or Sunday is a DOG's day. That's when I devote my time fully like from the moment I wake up till I go to bed, I am with my dog and nothing else.
I use johnson and johnson no more tears shampoo. for both my dog and cats.
i used to use Alpo bathe or something. I got it for free, but i remember my dog scratching himself even more. perhaps is drying.
If the dog is kept indoors, just a daily sponge will do. You know, like mop him up. Big dogs I say, a weekly bathe.

aiyah my dear,
US n here different kind of weather u know so its not surprisingly that they only bath their dogs once every 2 or 3 months lor. Can u imagine us human not having a bath for 3 days ? In paris / italy / france its the norm u know... Terry have a friend who is married to a french and they normally don't bath for 3 days (that's why perfume is sooo sellable over there la) hehehehe
What the US can do there is not necessary what we should also follow as we need to take into consideration of our weather and such.

Hi !
Its definitely not the food lar. FYI, I never feed my dog rice. Dogs naturally does have smell. Its just maybe you are so used to it that's why lar. My 2 kids normally plays in the garden that's why they get dirty faster than yours lor. I guess ...

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.

I bath my 2 devils around 7-10 days. I read and article before says that we should not bath a dog too often as they will release a kind of wax themselves to protect their coat and skin. But due to our weather here, don't think is a good idea to hold it till a month.

I usually bath my golden every week with plain water, just to get ride of the dirt and dust on his coat and monthly with shampoo. It is not advisable to use shampoo every week as this will wash away their natural oil on their coat; their skin will get too dry.

I bath mine once a week. In between baths, when he smells, I just use a paper type fabric softener to wipe him up or a non-perfume baby wipes. I use towel first and then hair dryer Cool setting and put it far from him.However, he is having flu right now so its been 2 weeks since he bathed. I will bath him as soon as he gets better.

I bathe my two dogs once a week...It's a must becoz after training at SCP, they get very dirty & they'll pick up germs and may cause them to have fungal prob. My Amber always gets a good spa traetment after bathing. I use hot oil on her fur-she gets a good massage & brushing.

Oh...I get very sensitive if my dog doesn't have a bath before she goes for training or other public places. I'm also the type who doesn't like other people touching her & Faith after their baths, coz I know their hands are dirty and have germs. I know I sound psychotic! I know my hands are clean coz I was the one who bathe them...I always make sure especially Amber, looks her very best before going out. I like people complementing her...Heee heee!
Oh, I'm not going to bathe my dogs today like I usually do coz I know they are going to be in a big muddy mess tomorrow. Later in the afternoon at 4pm, they have agility training. So it's either I wipe them down or bathe them after playing in the field. See you there Amanda!

I used to bath mine once a week and then winter comes..I now bath him once every 2-3 weeks. I wipe his paws, wee wee and butt with baby wipes everyday. I wipe his whole body with baby wipe once a week. If we go out for a walk and comes back, I wash his paws immediately and then wipe his whole body which we don't go out often in the winter. The thing about winter here is, the air can be so dry so I have to spray Emu Oil on him after baths and when it gets too dry.
