Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Puppies tend to get into things and get dirty when eating or outside. I would advise spot bathing any areas that need immediate attention, but I would space out bathing as much as possible. Too frequent bathing can dry out the skin and haircoat and cause other problems. I advise getting an oatmeal shampoo without soap or detergent for maintenance bathing. Leave the lather on for 10 minutes and rinse really well. Dried shampoo on the skin and haircoat can be very irritating. I would try to space out the baths to every 4 or more weeks. You could use waterless shampoo or some bath wipes in between bathing. Good luck
