Rottweiler Grooming – how often should I bathe my Rottie?

Hi!!

How often should I give my Rottweiler a bath? I’m from the Philippines and the weather here is often hot.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks!

Mark

Hi Mark
Honestly, even if the weather is hot, Rottweilers don’t need to be bathed very often. If they get really DIRTY or whatever, then yes, a bath is good but otherwise it’s not that important.

Rotties also tend to have sensitive skin, so over-bathing can make their skin/coat too dry and cause problems.

On average, I’d say a bath two or three times a year is fine, more if he’s getting dirty/muddy etc. Always use a very gentle shampoo – a puppy shampoo (even when he’s adult) or ne with oatmeal works well.

Hope this helps, best of luck with your Rottie.

Once a month NEW

A lot more frequently than 2-3 times a year unless you enjoy the aroma of eau de canine everywhere. Yuck.

I’ve had multiple Rotties over the years, they all were bathed once a month–no issues with dry skin, etc. Just be sure to use a very gentle shampoo for dogs, and a well balanced diet will also help their coats.
