Veterinarians recommend you bathe a dog a dog with normal skin once a month. There is no medical need to bathe your pup more often unless he has skin problems or is just a little more stinky than you’d like

Dogs with normal skin typically need to be bathed once a month with a decent quality shampoo. They have some great dog shampoos on the market for all coat lengths and many different skin types. If your dog's skin has issues, you may want to try a sensitive skin shampoo and talk to your vet as you may need to bathe dogs that have allergies or certain types of skin issues more often. A good brushing between baths along with fish oil supplements and/or pumpkin can help your dog's coat stay shiny and healthy :)
