Vets suggest you wash your dog at least once/month using a dog shampoo . However, your dog's breed can depend on how often he should be bathed. Certain dogs benefit from bathing while other breeds can develop skin problems from too many baths. If you have a hairy dog, like a spaniel, baths should be scheduled once every two months or so. Different breeds may go as long as six to eight months.
Most dogs (and their owners) can benefit from at least a weekly bath. It is a great time to assess your dog’s overall condition and also to wipe out her ears and eyes and check her teeth.
As often as needed. Although, a quick spray down will suffice if you find yourself not wanting to bathe as often.
