Hello how may I help you? I need pet advice Certainly. What kind of pet advice do you need? How often should I bathe my dog? Well this depends. What breed is this dog? Labrador Retriever First, you want to decide whether to use shampoo or just water. No I need to know how often I should bathe the dog not how to bathe the dog Oh, sorry about that. How active is your Labrador Retriever? Pretty active he is 2 years old I would suggest bathing him three times. I will do that Great! Need any other helpful pet information from me? Should I blow dry the dog after I pay them Bath No, I do not advise that as the temp on blow dryers can reach dangerous temperatures. Should I let the dog run outside after it's had a bath You can let it go outside but letting it run will probably get him dirty again! Is it okay to feed my dog before a bath? It is okay to do it but feeding is recommended after the bath. Should I put the tick medicine on right after a Bath Yes, that's the best time to put tick medicine! Ok
