If the dog does not have dermatological problems, it is not necessary to wash him often, and the type of shampoo and frequency is determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the owner’s needs and the dog’s lifestyle (at home or in the garden).
In contrast, for a dog with a dermatologic disease, shampoo therapy becomes a fundamental part of the treatment and, in the case of superficial pyoderma, may become the sole therapy to be carried out twice a week. The shampoo should be dog-specific, and the type of shampoo, as well as the frequency of application, should be determined by the veterinary doctor according to the skin problem.
