how often should I bath my dog? (poodle toy)?

Question

my dog is 3 months old

Answer 1

I would say only when your dog needs a bath.. Like when she stinks or is full of mud etc. To many baths can take the oils out of your dogs skin causing skin irritations

Answer 2

I've owned several toy poodles & I only bathe them when they need it. Bathing too much can dry out their skin. I also use skin-so-soft bath oil, when I have it. I'd check their ears about once a week, though, & pull out any hair that has grown inside the canal, to prevent ear mites; they won't like you doing this, but will get used to the idea; the younger the dog to start this, the better,; too. Lots of Luck

Answer 3

if the dog is 3 months old not time yet. I'm sure is an indoors pet so dog will not get dirty. Dogs don't need to shower like humans. These pets have a special coat on the skin to protect them and if you shower it too much this coat will fall off and the dog will start smelling pretty bad; then you will think dog is dirty again and again. Clean the ears with products (dog ear cleaners) and a cotton ball. This can be purchased at any pet store.

Once a month or so is ok.

Answer 4

the least the better as you dry out all of the natural oils. You should aim for once a month at the most, and use an all natural shampoo with correct ph level. In between you can get pet cologne in male or female scents to avoid your dog being smelly.

Answer 5

We bathe our toy poodle every two weeks, since she was 8 weeks old. Be sure to use a high quality pet shampoo and conditioner.

Answer 6

Don't bath your dog more than once a week or it will dry its skin out and it will scratch its hair out. Dogs need that natural oil that's in their skin.

Answer 7

eeeekkkkssss I flinch after I see human beings declaring once a week! NO! in simple terms even as he needs it! highly through the indisputable fact that's a small breed domicile dogs. once a month is a lot! dogs have organic oils and micro organism that help safeguard them from dry epidermis and inflammation. do no longer study your bathing conduct to that of your dogs! after I were given my domestic dog (10 weeks previous) he had such undesirable dandruff his epidermis replaced into pink and uncooked. They were bathing him once to 2 times a week. i like to recommend in simple terms bathing even as mandatory and use very delicate infant or puppy shampoo. avert anti-bacterial or scented soaps. in case you want to "refresh" your pooch, hose him off or visit the lake. do not over bathe!

Answer 8

I love the name Violet!
Once a month is good unless your dog gets really dirty.

Answer 9

Answer 10
