Every dog owner knows that fresh, clean feeling that comes with a recently bathed pup. However, as much as we love a sweet-smelling dog, over-bathing can do more harm than good. Frequent baths can strip away the natural oils in your dog's skin, leading to dryness, itching, and discomfort. So how do you keep your pup smelling great and feeling fresh without all those baths? It's simpler than you think! Here's a guide to maintaining your dogs cleanliness between washes using Nellie's pet-friendly essentials.
Why Over-Bathing Can Harm Your Dog's Skin
Dogs' skin is naturally more sensitive than human skin, and frequent baths can disrupt the balance of natural oils. These oils keep your dog's skin healthy and their coat shiny and protected. When you over-bathe, you risk stripping these oils away, which can lead to:
- Dryness and Irritation: Just like us, dogs can experience dry skin that leads to itching and discomfort.
- Increased Shedding: A lack of natural oils can make fur brittle, leading to increased shedding and a less shiny coat.
- Potential Allergies: Regularly removing these protective oils can make your dog's skin more susceptible to environmental irritants and allergens.

The DBL DRY Dog Towel: Ideal for Post-Walk Clean-Ups
We all know that a walk can turn into a mini-adventure filled with muddy puddles, unexpected rain showers, or rolling around in the grass. That's where DBL DRY Dog Towel comes in handy. Keep one by your front door or in your car to handle those post-walk messes in a flash. Here's how it helps:
- Absorbent and Fast-Drying: The DBL DRY Dog Towel soaks up moisture quickly, which is especially useful for wet or muddy walks.
- Gentle on Fur: Unlike regular towels, this one is designed specifically for pets. It's super soft, so it won't irritate your dog's skin or tug on their fur.
- Reusable and Planet Friendly: Skip the piles of paper towels and save on laundry. The DBL DRY Dog Towel is machine washable and reusable, making it a more sustainable choice.
A Routine for Freshness Between Baths
With the right products, you can create a routine that keeps your dog feeling fresh and clean without over-bathing. Here's a simple in-between-bath routine you can try:
- Quick Dry After Walks: When your dog comes home wet or muddy, use DBL DRY Dog Towel to absorb excess moisture and dirt. Give their paws a gentle wipe-down too, especially if they've been running through grass or sand.
- Daily Freshen-Up with Fresh Dog: Spritz your dog with Fresh Dog on days when they need a little freshness boost. This is especially helpful if your dog has been playing outside or is due for a bath soon but isn't quite there yet.
- Brush Regularly: Brushing your dog's coat regularly (once a week for short-haired dogs and more frequently for long-haired breeds) helps distribute their natural oils, removes dirt, and keeps their coat looking shiny.
- Save Baths for When They Really Need It: Stick to a bathing schedule that works for your dog's breed, coat type, and lifestyle. For most dogs, a bath every 4-6 weeks is plenty, but you can adjust based on your dog's needs.
