Bathing your dog helps to remove dander and dead hair. Bathing your dog regularly helps your dog’s skin and coat to maintain moisture. This will help their coat to appear shiny! Use an all natural shampoo and conditioner free of chemicals and parabens that is gentle on their skin.
The frequency of brushing and bathing will depend on your dog. Every dog is different! Brushing and bathing can be anywhere between once a week to once a month. Don’t forget to make grooming a positive experience for your dog! Giving them verbal praise, pets, and treats can make grooming a pleasant experience for both you and your dog. Consider it a great time to bond and build a lasting relationship with your pup.
