We bathe our dogs once a month to once every three months. We don't bathe them more than once a month unless we absolutely have to because bathing a dog more than once a month can dry their skin out. Sometimes we have to bathe them, or at least rinse them off, more than once a month, because we take them to the beach a lot and I like to rinse the salt water off of them, but when we bathe them more than once a month we use this bath oil/ skin conditioner stuff that we go from the vet to keep their skin from getting dried out. We also use the bath oil/ skin conditioner when we bathe them once a month, just to be safe. If we bathe them after 2 or 3 months we don't use the skin conditioner because I don't think the bath will dry their skin out. We use a gentle oatmeal shampoo as well. We normally end up bathing them once a month because I like to put their flea and tick stuff on them after I bathe them. So I will bathe them and once they are dry I put the flea and tick stuff on, and I do that every month, most of the time.
We have three dogs. The chocolate lab we never bath unless he rolls in something smelling. The small terrier mix we bath about once a month. She is low to the ground with a wiry coat. The mini poodle mix gets bathed about twice a month because his back skin is oily and his fur gets matted and greasy looking.
I do not brush my dogs' teeth. I give my dog healthy things to chew on and her teeth do not need to be brushed. My vet comments every time he sees her that her teeth are in remarkable shape.
I feed her dried sting ray tail, deer antler, bullstix, and other tough all natural things. Other than 1/2 can of wet food in the mornings everything she eats is hard.
Can you please tell me where you get these items sting ray tail, deer antler,bullstix and ect.....

I just took a peek in on their site. The sting ray tail, called Ocean Chews, are buy one get one right now. They usually have a few other things on buy one get one. The freeze dried mouse is a big hit at my house, and it is on special right now as well.
Spot's probably an every other month bather but that wasn't a choice. He like being clean and smelling good. Plus he loves all the attention. He likes to sleep in our bed and it smells nicer if the dog smells nicer.
I brush his teeth every week and he gets greenies and other hard chewy things.

I get my two long-haired dogs bathed and haircuts about every four months. They get shaggy, drag in mud and leaves, ear fur gets tangled from rolling.
The other three short-hairs just get nail-clips when needed and brushing for all. If they get wet in the rain, I rub then down with a towel, and figure that's sort of a surface bath.
I feel like the moisture from my dog's eyes smell. I put vaseline under the eyes and put doggy cologne. I may be mistaken and it may just be his breath. Are there dog mints?
I use that 'waterless' shampoo every other day and those 'baby wipe' equivalents.
Our dogs are indoor and outdoor, and we usually give them a bath once a month. Sometimes if they are really bad, we give them twice. They have wonderful coats, and nice skin that is not dry.
