How often should we bathe this Doode?

I dont know about you guys but I have definitely lowered my grooming standards since the
Shelter in Place 
Working from Home
lifestyle changes went into effect.  
I sent a friend a Snapchat the other day and thought  "Holy Crap!  Who is that??"  
I have a previous post about how I am not helping out my 
Kardashian friends with their bank accounts and
it remains............on a whole new level..........  TRUE!!



So, how often should you or do you bathe your Doodle?   
I say:      AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE!
I am not talking about daily grooming like brushing, ear cleaning, checking nails or keeping their site line clear by trimming their muzzle, or maintaining matts, 
but an actual bath.

Dogs have a natural oil to their skin and if we are constantly adding chemicals like shampoo or conditioner and washing that protection away,  we are doing more harm than good. 
​Excessive bathing can cause skin irritation that will be really difficult to heal and get the natural oils to  restore.  
I do, of course, give them a little spa treatment
before they go home so they have that
new puppy smell!!

​We give our dogs a daily dose of Salmon Oil. 
We just buy a big bottle and
put a couple of pumps on their breakfast. 
Ive seen recipes where you can make little treats with
coconut oil but I havent tried that yet.

Salmon Oil

So although our little Doodles love the water........I say take them hunting or swimming instead of to the spa!!

Peace Out!
