[MahlesOwner]

Just curious how often do u guys/gals wash your pups and with what shampoo?

I have a white GSD (7mo old male)

Kirby gets a bath as needed betweeen professional groomings.

He gets a trim every 3 months, and usually needs a bath once a month.

I use J&J baby shampoo as that is what works best on my dog. GSDs tend to have very sensitive skin though, so that probably would not be an ideal choice for you.

Hi fellow white shepherd owner. I love EARTHBATH products. Here is what I used on both my WGSD and my black GSD untill Sheena was a year old and Luca is also on it till he is a year old. All the shampoos I am listing come with a spray on skin and coat conditioner to use between baths to keep everything just perfect. I have never had a problem with any of these. Since my dogs are service dogs they have to be bathed everyweek. But for a pet dog I would do it maybe once every 6 weeks to 2 months.

Once Sheena was a year old I switched her to:

Once Luca is a year old he will be using:

They have a great website that has many other shampoo types to help all sorts of skin problems as well. I hope this helps and if you have any more questions about WGSD's please feel free to ask me. If I don't know the answer I can defiantley co0ntact the right people who do.

I wash my dogs about once a month or every other month with Fresh n Clean Oatmeal and Baking Soda Shampoo. The puppies have their own Premium Puppy Shampoo Baby Powder scented. For dog shows I have a special shampoo that brightens brown coats.

THX for all your input I ned to go out and get some and give my poor pooches a bath lol

[SalemWitchChild]

Once a month with a detergent and soap free sh.

[Blaze]

I bath Lilly about once a month and usually use a whitening shampoo or an oatmeal based one. She also gets bathed at the groomers every 6-8 weeks.

Blaze hasn't needed a bath yet and I'm not sure what I'll use on him.

[Camberaoh]

Yeah i agree with the rest about once a month but i use ok dont laugh the lavender baby shampoo you wouldnt beleive how soft it can leave you dog and they smell great for about a week depending on how much the play out in the mud.

[doglovin]

On the farm I had to bath them really often.

Here, they get bathed about every 2nd month.

My mom (a professional dog groomer by trade ) Found "Murphy's Oil" Excellent for their coats and skin. Cleans well. Very inexspensive. Smells great. Doesn't dry out skin.

The shampoo I use on Kirby is usually lavendar scented. At the very least, it smells so great.
