How often to Groom a jack russell?

Question

i have a 6 moth old jack russelll and i shave him every 2 weeks to keep him well groomed, and his hair nice and short

i do it after a bath, is giving him a bath every 2 weeks to much?>

Answer 1

No not at all, every two weeks is a good amount and not to often as to dry out his skin. Just use a nice moisturizing shampoo if you notice his skin looks dry. My mom's two jack russells sometimes got bathed a couple times a week after getting into messes outside, they never had a issue with it and their skin never was itchy or dry.

Answer 2

This breed doesn't require shaving. Just scissor the stray hairs that stick out.

Every two weeks is too often. Once a month for a bath should be good enough. Watch that the skin does not get dried out. Use a conditioner designed for this purpose.

Answer 3

This can be contraversal some say they should not be bathed more than once a month. I have done my dogs every 2 weeks but one did end up with dry skin so now I'm falling back to once a month.
If yiou continue just keep an eye on the skin.

Answer 4

Yes only because too much bathing can cause dry skin which will cause your dog to get itchy skin. Its best to only bathe your dog at least once a month and no sooner than that unless he get extremely dirty before then.

Answer 5

Add at least a capful of Infusion Leave-In Hair Treatment to the bottle of shampoo you use on your dog ... maybe a little more in the winter (dry) months. Shake it up ... bathe as often as you like.
