Our dogs can sometime smell and look dirty but how often should we bath a dog? As a general rule, we must understand that we must not attribute any human values to it. You might even make this theory that dogs should bath everyday but they don't. Some would like to bath it once a week, others might do it monthly or yearly. It all depends on your dog's skin. My Thai Ridgeback dog can't stand frequent baths like once a week or earlier than that because his skin might begin to shed in some parts and might cause him to have some baldspots in certain areas. So I changed it to once a month. If you would like to know how often you should bath your dog, test his skin ability to withstand to bath time. If you do it once a week like me and he starts to shed, change it to once a month. If once a month might not do, set a longer period if you would like. For instance, 3 months once.
You might also think of giving him a shower without soap definitely when he gets dirty in a mud puddle or something dirty. Use water to rinse and scrub the dirt off his body. The reason we shouldn't apply soap too often to dogs is because they may have skin problems after using the soap like dry skin, shedding skin and so on. So, remember to set a time interval for a dog bath that is suitable for him. This might require some time and experimenting.
