Each dog is different so what will work at my house may not work for you. I do not recommend giving your dogs regular baths. If you have a flea problem address that quickly and get it under control, because they can cause more issues with your dogs skin!

Personally I use advatix for bugs, and baths for stink. But if I think my dogs may have picked up some while hiking I will wash them with dawn dish soap, which will kills any bugs that they picked up.
