Bathing a short-haired dog is a relatively easy task as long as your pup doesn't fight you. If she starts to struggle, consider taking her for a long walk to tire her out first. This may help to make bath time a bit more enjoyable for both of you.
Should short-haired dogs be bathed?
Generally speaking, a healthy dog with a short, smooth coat and no skin problems doesn't need to be bathed often. In most cases, dog baths are more for the benefit of their pet parents than for the dogs themselves.
Can you bathe small dogs?
Small dog owners tend to bathe their dogs more frequently than large dog owners do. Small dogs do not get any dirtier than large breed dogs, but they do spend more time on our laps and in our beds. Small dogs do need frequent baths, but not so frequent that the shampoo dries out their hair.
