Bathing Dogs Can't Post

Normally I think on the average a dog baths 1 week once..but why cant we bath our dogs more often that that?? Scared of 'fong sap' is it? I dont mind bathing my pup everyday or every alternate day to keep her sparkling clean but it's not really practiced by most and I would like to know the reason behind it..My pup is really fun to bath so I really enjoy it.Tongue

if u bath ur dog too often it will strip ur dogs skin of the natural protective oils and will cause dry itchy flakey skin....Cool

once or twice a month should be ok... urs a beagle rite? beagle dont have long coat mah no need to bath tat often wan lo....Tongue

Hi,

I bath my Shih Tzu twice a week now. I think it is enough for him.

Vet advise to bath doggie once a week....but I think with the hot weather here, we need to have at least twice a week.

Re: [icaruz] Bathing Dogs [In reply to] Can't Post

It's good to know that your puppy actually enjoys bathing.. If I take out Jaz's towel, she will hide under the sofa... seems like really hates taking shower!!

Anyway, once a week is good, unless your dog is really dirty and smelly.. you see dog doesn't sweat like us, human.. they too have this one thin layer of oil on thier skin or something like that to protect thier skin ( i think) but definately unlike human hair, where we produce oil and sweat, they don't.

So it's best not to bath them too often if possible.

SmileSame here Jaz,

My dog understands the language of bathing & once my mum or dad says so, he'll run away under the sofa and he once run out from the bathroom once with shampoo on his body when i opened the doorTongue

Yaa....i sometimes bath him once or twice in a month coz he does not smell, therefore not necessarySmile

Re: [jaz] Bathing Dogs [In reply to] Can't Post

My smaller dogs will run and hide too ... when i tell them "bath, bath"... my shih tzu will even cry if I put her inside a pail with cold water. But if with warm water, she'll just stay inside the water and won't even want to come out to let me shampoo her. If I take her out, she'll jump back in... swimming ... and diving .... it's rather surprising ... seeing her dive and retrieve something from under water.

My labs love bathing.... when you tell them "bath bath", they'll walk straight to the water pipe and wait there...

regards,
sweeeng

Yalor, Yippi same too. That's why grooming powder and the biscuit to get rid of the odour for Yippi is the must Tongue.

Smilehi,

i think retrievers are 'water-lovers' by nature..

my golden would run around the yard excitedly when i say 'chong liang'..though he doesn't come straight to the water pipe...but he lets me bath him without any struggle and will only shake when i say ok..Wink

I really admire all those who owns a chow chow. Their hair is so thick... For me, a small dog with long hair also a bit susah oredi, this chow chow so big size and my goodness.... the hair...

Lulugurl, my dogs also looks like rat when they are wet.... especially my smallest size dog which is smaller than a cat! ha..h.a...

Re: [kesuke] Bathing Dogs [In reply to] Can't Post

Yup ... i seriously think that the retrievers loves water... when i first bath my lab, i use to chain her to the pipe.... cos i scare if i put shampoo halfway, she'll run away... but this time no need chain oredi lor.... even after bath, she'll just sit there and wait for me to bring her towel to wipe her. If I do something else, she'll start barking asthough asking me to be quick... really cute...Smile
