He should be bathed no more than once every 4-6 weeks. Use a pet approved shampoo for puppies. You can use plain, unscented baby wipes or pet wipes to spot clean him in between baths and as needed. An essential fatty acid supplement, usually a fish oil, can be added to the diet to promote healthy skin and coat. Product choices include EicosaCaps, DermCaps or Welactin.
