Dog dry skin: How often to bathe with new shampoo and lotion?

Question

My dog has dry skin. I just purchased a new shampoo and lotion (Jax and Daisy) to try to soothe her skin. How often should I bathe her with these products due to her dry skin? Pet's info: Dog | Black Mouth Cur | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 50 lbs

I would recommend starting with twice a week baths for the next 3 weeks, then you can cut back to once every 2-4 weeks for maintenance of the skin. The lotion can be given as needed : ). I would also recommend oral fish oils formulated for pets given daily. EFA3N is my top recommendation here. Fish oils are a natural anti-inflammatory for the skin. Best wishes with your pet Sasha and her dry skin. Take care!
