Single-layer, short, sleek coats, as Dobermans have, can stay relatively clean with minimal bathing. Generally, they should be bathed every 6 to 8 weeks, though this may vary depending on their activity level and skin health. Dobermans have sensitive skin, so it is important not to over-bathe them, as this can strip away natural oils and cause dryness. They only require baths when they smell, roll in something dirty, or have visible debris in their coat; brushing them regularly is more beneficial for maintaining their coat and skin health. Lillian Ruff offers a variety of moisturizing, hypoallergenic, plant-based formulated dog shampoos for happy, healthy skin and coats.
