How Often to Bath Your Labrador Retriever
This past weekend was our annual spring bath our labrador retriever weekend. We bath our dog about once or maybe twice a year. Bathing a labrador retriever too often will destroy their natural oils they have in their fur that help protect them. Bathing too often will only lead to drying out their skin which you don't want to do. I have read many times that people bath their labrador retriever once a month. This is way too often. The only thing I can say is that if they do get into manure or something totally foul smelling then you have no option. Otherwise, once or twice a year is fine. If your labrador is like ours he enjoys swimming all summer long so this helps keep him clean and fresh as well. It in only in the Spring after he has been rolling around in the much and in the fall that we bath him.
I am not sure about you but make sure you clear the track after that bath. I was wishing we had some nice discount furniture around the house after the bath was over. It was butt tucking go wild time. He ran from room to room, off of furniture and basically tore up the house. I guess he liked his bath too.
