Your bully? Lol
I've searched here, and Google, can't seem to find a answer. I've seen everywhere from once a week to never!
I used to have a Saint Bernard. He got done every other month.

Once a week, sometimes more depending on how dirty she gets from playing at daycare!! :)

We bathe our guys once every two weeks. I use Puppy Tearless Shampoo from Petsmart. It's the equivalent of baby shampoo for dogs. Lol. It doesn't irritate their eyes. I rinse them twice, once with warm water, and a second rinse of equal parts of warm water and white vinegar. It keeps them smelling nice longer in between their baths, and it makes their fur really soft, plus vinegar is a natural anti bacterial and anti fungal, so it helps to kill bacteria which can cause skin issues and conditions the skin.

Haven't had her long enough and dont plan on once a month but longer. My GS was spring n end of fall. I didn't see myself washing a 115lbs double coat dog in the house winter. Nyala might be 4x a year. She gets wiped down weekly with baby wipes. And daily for ears, tail pocket and each meals chin n mouth. Crap man, worse than when i had my kids.

I usually do it about once a month since he starts to smell around then. I base it on how he is looking or what he has gotten into. For instance, the other night he decided to sniff a dead chipmunk that I didn't notice until he was on it and because I was so disturbed with him sniffing the chipmunk I didn't pull him away in time from flinging his poo so he got it all over his paws. I am still using the puppy shampoo but will switch when it runs out so he may go longer in between baths.

While I only bathe him once a month, he gets daily face and butt wipes. He also gets his ears wiped every 3 days. I'll wipe the paws and rest of his body from time to time also.

We go for once a week--mostly because she has a white saddle so dirt really shows. Sometimes we will let her go two weeks, but use baby wipes to scrub her all over.

Mine get baths about every 2-3 weeks. We are outside a lot, so they get stinky. Dremmel nails every 2 weeks and clean their ears weekly.
Daily maintenance on face/folds 2xs a day, feet and privates get wiped after every potty break.
We will probably be boarding them for July 4th weekend- wondering if the staff will think I'm crazy going in with their "daily maintenance log" - lol

Depends really. Sometimes we go a few months in between baths. In the winter longer :)

Good stuff.
I was thinking once every other month. But if he needs it more then no big deal.
