Re: how often do you give your short-haired dog a bath?

I usually give my dog a bath every other week then brush her really good 3x a week.

Maybe once every two months, unless she gets into something dirty.
It's not good for their coat to give them too many baths.

Every 6 weeks or so she gets groomed.

We've learned that she has dry skin very easily, so we bathe her every 3-4 weeks and when necessary (like when she egst sick and decides to roll in it ). We brush her every other day.

They go for grooming about once every 2 mths, so we give a bath in between then. So they get bathed overall once a mth. They hate the baths and they barely get dirty, so that's what we do. If it was easier I might do a bath every 3 weeks.

Weekly. Katie is a Jack Russell Terror that likes to roll in the grass and other stinky things and dig. She gets pretty icky if I don't. Her coat is shiny and smooth and her skin isn't dry.
