Its not a very good idea to shower ur puppy everyday.
Its best to shower ur pup using a gentle puppy shampoo a maximum of once a week. In the winter months, its best to wash only once a month because dogs produce a natural oil at the base of the coat which protects the skin from drying out and helps keep the dog warm (washing to often gets rid of this oil).
U will end up drying out the puppies skin which will make ur pup highly agitated if u wash everyday.,

You should not bathe a dog more than once a month.
Washing everyday dries the skin, and causes them to scratch and harm themselves.
Best to try and keep them out of the dirty places.
Brushing daily helps to get rid of dirt.

I wouldn't suggest it, bathing, and in this case, showering removes natural and necessary oils from the puppies fur, if the dog is dirty then of course you'll have to clean it up, just use pure water for the rinse offs.

Yes it is bad for them. It strips the oils off their skin and damages the skin and coat.
A dog is a dog and they will get dirty. You can wipe him off with baby wipes ('spot' clean) if you like.
But, totally submerging him and soaping him up daily is not good for him. He should be bathed about once a month.
It's not going to hurt him if he has a little dirt on him.

It's not going to kill them or make them sick if that's what you mean, but over-bathed dogs often develop very dry, itchy skin and dull coats. Even with gentle shampoo and careful rinsing, daily washing away of the the natural oils a dog produces is not a good idea.

Do not do this. Your puppy doesn't need a daily shower; and it could be bad for the pooch's skin. No dog ever died of being "dirty".

Yes, dogs are not like humans and do not need to bathe everyday. It will dry their skin out. If they are outside playing and get muddy or dirty, use a towel or some baby wipes for puppes to clean them off.

They could loose their oil on their skin... Im not to experienced in that area but I used to wash my Pomeranian every 2 weeks & a groomer told me it was bad for the dogs coat. You can rinse the dirt off with plain water & spray them with puppy perfume to atleast smell fresh

genuinely no extra desirable than as quickly as a month except your veterinarian recommends in any different case. people who could wash their dogs frequently often are employing some sort of medicated shampoo for pores and skin circumstances and such. An indoor dogs should not be getting extremely grimy and particular won't choose a bath extra desirable than as quickly as a twelve months. as quickly as a month is the nearest each and each tub could be except there is a few dire choose for them to be closer at the same time. widespread bathing over-dries their pores and skin and strips their pores and skin and coat of the organic oils that make it climate data besides as healthful and tender. widespread washing could make the exterior dry and flaky, besides as itchy and uncomfortable for the dogs.
