I've been told by a dog trainer that twice every year is enough but I wash my Chesapeake every couple of months as she spends a lot of time in the field and the reservoir. Hey Cagney, chill. It's just Yahoo! Answers.

I do it monthly, also. I'm not sure if you can do it more often than that, but I do know you shouldn't wash them too often or you'll ruin their coats. But it's possible you could wash them every 3 weeks, but that's just a guess.

It depends on the dog and breed. I have heavy, double coated dogs and due to swimming and showing, they need to be bathed frequently. Other breeds may not need bathing that much. You must always keep in mind over-bathing which can dry the skin and coat.
There is no blanket policy on how often to bathe your dog, and there is no need to turn it into a HUGE debate!!!!!!!!!!!!

That depends on how often they roll in something that sinks!
But normal conditions we bath our dogs, once a month. If your dog produces lots of Lanolin ( make their hair smell bad, but makes hair repeals water), twice in a month.
You just don't want to dry out their skin. Use a shampoo that fits to their type of hair,ie oily.Avoid the perfume type

look. if you want people to think you're mature and know what you're talking about stop acting like a brat. stop posting questions about onceagain. if you don't like the answer be mature and just don't listen to it or pick it as best answer. you want to wash your dog once a month go for it. as long as you are using a mild dog shampoo or baby shampoo. and are doing the bathing at least 2 days before or after flea product application, and the dog is not having any dry skin issues from the bathing. fine go ahead. but please stop with this childish nonsense posting. in order for people to believe you are mature you need to act it.

it really depends on how active your dog is. every 3 to 5 weeks is what i heard, unless of course the dog become dirty in between that time.

Yeah, it's different for every dog. Basically if you pet him and your hands feel scummy...it's time for a bath.

At the least, once every two weeks is sufficient.
