My sister bathes her toy fox terrier at least twice a month whether he needs it or not. Most dogs, however, need only to be bathed once a month, unless of course he goes out and rolls in something dead. Why do dogs do this anyway? (I’ll address that at another time.)

One of the most important things to remember before giving your dog a bath is to brush his coat first. This gets rid of all the dead hair, dirt and other debris that can be caught in a clump of tangled fur. Invest in a good dog shampoo and follow the directions. You’ll need to brush his coat after the bath too.

Bathing a dog is not rocket science, but it does take a lot of patience and love from both dog and owner.
