The Importance of Washing Your Double-Coated Dog
Every dog is beautiful in its own way, but difficult grooming circumstances can follow. This is especially true if you have a double-coated dog. These wonderfully fuzzy pets may need to be bathed on a regular basis, which adds to the commitment.

A thorough bath is an important component of any grooming session. Depending on your dog’s tolerance for grooming and skin condition, as well as the season, you should bathe a double-coated dog every eight to 12 weeks. If it’s shedding season, you might need to increase the frequency of your dog’s baths to keep stray hair under control.
You’ll probably need to brush your dog even if you don’t trim him or her.
