Bathing Bathing is an important part of maintaining a healthy coat and skin for your pet. The frequency of bathing will depend on coat length,type of coat, activity level, environment, and overall health. A bath is appropriate whenever you want your pet to be clean and smell fresh. However, bathing too frequently, or the use of harsh or drying products can dull your pet's coat and cause dry, flaky, and sometimes itchy skin.
Wipe your pet down vigorously and leave him or her in a warm room. If your pet will tolerate it, a blow dryer (on "low" or "cool" setting only) may be useful. Be careful to keep the dryer moving around and take care not to burn her or him. Be sure to brush him or her out while drying.
