Hi
Just wondering can i bath my dog everyday or at least once every 2 -3 days using only plain water?? will this strip the dog off the natural oil or coating the fur has??
Reason y i wanna bath the dog more often is because i am trying to get rid of its body odur without having to overdose the shampoo

is your dog still a puppy? if is a puppy den dont bath them so much first. atlease more than 5 month is better. they will catch cold easier if u just use towel without hairdryer to dry them up. just press a little bit of dog shampoo would make him smell better right ? use powder as well Love them, they will love you They Don't Talk Don't Meant They Wrong.

Bathing without blowing will cause ur pup to have fungal. I believe it's a golden retreiver rite? cos ur picture says so. ah ha.. but anyway, goldens are very prone to having fungal bcos their undercoat is really hard to dry and all those wetness gets stuck inside without u knowing bcos u'll not feel the wetness in the undercoat if the outer coat is dry. I recommend u to THOROUGHLY dry ur pup after the bath. and also, i won't think that u can get rid of his body odour if u jus wash him with water everyday. Like, if we humans hv dirty hair, we can't just wash with plain water and be clean rite? Try to find out why he has the BO bcos dogs with normal skin won't really have much of a smell.
Maybe u can try to get a clarifying shampoo if he smells becos he's too dirty. but otherwise, could be a skin problem coming so better check on it. is his coat oily? rub ur hands against the lay of the hair. Does he hv dandruff? inflamed skin?

Hi K9groom. Thanx for the input. Yeah pretty hard to actually 100% dry the dog. not only is he full of long hair but also he just wont stay still. but i do go thru the hairs with dry towel a couple of times to dry him up as much as possible.
The body odur is the normal dog odur. The reason y i wanted to just rinse him with plain water is because i notice he tends to step on his stool n sometimes just lay still on top of his urine. so mah rinse with water lor.
He has no skin problems. no drandruf , no inflamation n etc. in fact his skin is almost flawless except for the one - 2 fleas which i try to catch on daily basis using a flea comb

Hi sirwin81!
Mebbe u would like to try shampoo called "Filthy Animal", de liquid is red in colour. My pup use to smell after 2-3 days after bath. But after using this shampoo, he smells pretty good for a week or so . Alternatively, u can consider getting a type of solution that you can add on to your pup's drinking water... apparently it can reduce the body odour as well as stool odour. I have not personally tried tat, but i have few frens using it with positive results.

Sometimes the unpleasant odour come from the ears, make sure the ears are clean.
It's not advisable to let the dog get wet every day. Golden Retrievers are prone to have skin rashes as they have thick furcoat if they're not thoroughly dry. You can try to use powder shampoo that doesn't require rinsing with water.
