Hi! Bathing is good to do for Honey about once a week, using a gentle shampoo for dogs. Excessive bathing can dry out Honey's skin, getting rid of natural oils that make their coat soft and healthy which may cause more harm than good. Getting her used to bathing and making it a positive experience will make it easy to bathe in the future. Enjoy a clean Honey! -Dr. Gordon
