Just wondering how often everyone baths their doggies.
I had heard two different views...once a week to benefit the dog's skin and to keep coat clean and healthy. I also heard just the opposite, that washing once a week will strip the skin's oil and create dry and itchy skin. So I'm not sure what is "supposed" to be done, but I rarely give baths. My chihuahua gets them more frequently since she is much easier to bath. My dobie, who is afraid of water, rarely gets them. I don't think short haired dogs stink as quickly as long haired dogs, and can go longer between bathings.
My 2 youngest Chihuahua boys hate baths as well, UNLESS I put them in the tub together. Then they love it. Not sure why.
