But what if we told you that one of the most common things you’re doing out of love… could actually be harming your pet?
Let’s talk about bathing.
π The Truth About Over-Bathing
Did you know that over 70% of pet parents bathe their cats or dogs too often?
It might feel like you’re keeping them fresh and healthy, but here’s the truth:
Too much bathing can strip away natural oils from your pet’s skin and coat.
And without those oils? Your pet could suffer from:
-
Dry, itchy skin
-
Dull, flaky fur
-
Increased risk of skin irritation or infection
π‘ So… How Often Should You Bathe Your Pet?
Here’s a quick rule of thumb:
-
Dogs: Usually once every 4–6 weeks (unless they get really dirty)
-
Cats: Rarely need baths — they groom themselves!
Always use pet-safe shampoo and avoid harsh chemicals. If your pet has sensitive skin, talk to your vet about the right bathing routine.
