 * True or False: Bathing your pet once a week can dry out their skin and coat.

True or False: Bathing your pet once a week can dry out their skin and coat.

 


Answer: True

Regular bathing is an important part of your pet’s care! It helps remove dirt
from their coat and keeps their skin clean and healthy. But bathing your pet too
often can have the opposite effect: it can affect the coat quality and strip the
natural oils, leading to skin irritation and itchiness. 




With so many different types of pets, lifestyles, coat types and health needs,
it can be tricky to know how often to bathe your pet. Your veterinarian can
provide you with guidelines based on their unique needs. 

Always use quality shampoos and conditioners that have been formulated for use
in pets—never use shampoo or conditioners made for people (even human babies!)
on your pets. If you notice that their skin is dry or irritated and you are
bathing frequently, opt for less frequent baths and follow up with your
veterinarian if the problem continues.

their skin healthy! >>
