I would not recommend bathing Daisy every day, as this often causes dry skin and will make the problem worse. Bathe her no more than once a month, unless she gets unusually dirty and absolutely must be bathed in between. If she continues to have unusually dry or flaky skin, it would be best to have her examined by a vet to determine what is causing the problem - she may have allergies, fleas, a bacterial or fungal skin infection, or skin mites (mange).
