Dogs don't need to be washed that often unless they get into something really messy.
The frequency of the bath depends upon two things, your dog's breed and the kind of activities he is involved. Look at your dog, if it looks dirty and smells dirty, it sure needs a good scrub. But bathing your dog too often will rob your dog of her natural protective layer of skin. On an average, at least a 15 day gap is good.

I usually wash my dog every week or ten days because he's mostly an inside dog. Any more often than that is definitely not good for a dog!

dogs should only be bathed at maximum once a month. especially depending upon the breed. certain dogs have waterproof coats and others have oils that keep them cool or warm, etc. washing a dog too much removes these and isnt healthy for the animal. i know i like my animals to be clean but i wouldnt jepordize their health for it. talk to your vet about what schedule would be best for your breed.

I think you should wash the dog every 7 to 10 days, depending on the breed. I would also recommend using oatmeal shampoo. Oatmeal shampoo is natural and it doesn't irritate the dogs skin, instead it makes it very soft.

Too often for any dog. Most dogs do well with a 1 time a month bath. If you bathe too often you will dry the skin out and cause skin problems. DO NOT use human shampoo! Consult with a professional groomer for advice.

Every 6 to 8 weeks is fine unless they get dirty in the mud or something like that. Maybe once a week, dip a cloth in soapy water, puppy shampoo or baby shampoo, and wipe the paws and face a little.
