Bathing a dog should be given more importance. This is because if you are careless in bathing, the animal may end up with some infections. For example, if you close your ears with large cotton ball, water can penetrate the ear canal and can cause ear infections with signs like constant discharge from the ears and shake his head.
Frequency of bathing actually depends on the breed of dog. If the dog is a hairy type like the cocker spaniel, then bathing should be done once in six to eight weeks. If these breeds are bathed too often, the skin and the hair loses its protective effect. However, when the dog has defecated on the skin due to the frequent digestive upsets leading to diarrhea, to avoid bad smell, the dog may be subject to frequent baths sometimes by their owners.
