How often should I bathe my Cocker spaniel puppy? Is it okay to bathe him once a week or is it a bit too frequent? We clean him with a wet towel everyday though.

Once a week is probably okay although bathing this often may lead to dry skin. If Coconis not getting dirty you may want to just use the towel and bathe every 3-4 weeks. I would not recommend bathing more often than weekly.

It's not recommended to bath a puppy before the age of 3 months unless absolutely necessary. After the age of 3 months it is recommended to bath not more than once a month. Everyday is a big no, it will cause your puppy severe skin problems.

Hi there and thanks for posting! Dogs do not need frequent baths unlike us humans. Their fur and hair have natural oils that can be stripped away if bathed frequently. I'd say bathing every 1-2 months should be sufficient. I hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Your puppy should not need a bath unless she becomes excessively dirty from being outside. If you want to bathe her, I recommend no more than once every 2 weeks, using a puppy-safe shampoo and taking care not to get soap in her eyes. I hope this is helpful!
