How often should I wash my 3 month old pug with dog shampoo?

he stinks, and Im not sure if washing him too much with dog or baby shampoo will irritate his skin. So how often should I wash him and with what kind of shampoo? ThanksHow often should I wash my 3 month old pug with dog shampoo?
I used to though that washing him too much would irritate his skin but it doesn't. I asked my vet, it depends on the type of shampoo i have. I use the kind i get from Petsmart's groomax. It has a variety of scents and it will keep your pet smelling fresh for a whole month (literally!!!) and your pet's skin doesn't get irritated at ALL! Here's the link to the shampoo:

just get puppy shampoo and wash him once a month. just watch and see if his skin gets irritated and cut back if you notice a problem. you could also ask a local vet and see what they suggest.
You should never washed your pet with shampoo made for humans, as it could irritate their skin. go to your local pet store and buy a shampoo made for him. Only give him a bath once a month so his skin does'nt dry out. They should have some kind of detangle spray like they do for cats that you can use in between baths that keeps them smelling clean.
If he is dirty, you can wash him with puppy shampoo, and it will not irritate his skin. I wouldn't consider bathing him more than every couple of weeks because it will strip his skin of its natural oils. If a couple of baths do not help the smell, there may be a cause for the odor that requires vet attention.
The rule is once a month. Unless he gets into something stinky, and then it's ok. Washing a dog too much strips their coat of much needed oils. It can dry out their skin and cause dandruff and itching. If he stinks, when you do bath him, use a deodorizing shampoo. If he still stinks in between baths, you can get animal wipes. They are scented bath wipes, they don't require water. You just take one out of the package, wipe him down, and thats it. It's kind of like a big baby wipe. Good Luck.
The best thing to do is buy shampoo specially made for puppies.
wash him once a month if you do it more it is bad he needs the oil in his skin
I have a 6 year old pug. The vet told me to give her a bath no more than once ever 7 days. If you clean the wrinkles of the nose and there belly with baby shampoo or baby wipes every day it cuts down on the smell. Also if the pug gets to hot or excited it will cause it to smell worse. Pugs should not be kept outside due to their small breathing passage way if you live in hot climates or humid weather. I only bathe my pug with malosab from the vet. (not sure I spelled that correct)
Only ever bathe him 4 times per YEAR with puppy shampoo. If he still smells, buy 'dry shampoo' from your vet clinic. You just shake the dry shampoo on his fur and wipe it off with a damp cloth. Bathing him in water, shampoo etc. will irritate his skin and will just make his fur and skin unhealthy.
i would not wash my puppy unless absolutely necessary-- if you must use puppy shampoo as you said, but know this-- all puppies have ';puppy dandruff'; it's like the regular dander dogs all have but just more of it and more obvious, this is normal. It's just like with a human baby- and they are born with the ';newborn skin'; and then they go thru that peely stage, and they have ';infant skin'; then it changes again, at about 5 months- humans-and it's soft smooth baby skin, the first year for humans and dogs, the skin changes a lot. I only wash my dog when he has gotten into something really stinky-- we live on 500 acres in the country- so he finds stinky things to roll in from time to time-- if it's bad enough he gets a bath with dog shampoo--- TIP use about 10-20% of what you think you should use, or you will be rinsing forever, and likely not get it all out- leading to more dryness for the skin - not good. On a regular basis to keep my black lab boy sleek and shiny are doggie wipes -- there are tons of them--- the best ones-- I can't remember the exact name bu they are made by 3M - and they have aloe in them-- they work better than a bath i think and no dryness- just the opposite -- aloe leaves coat and skin beautiful-- and odors gone- but no heavy perfumes-- just my 2 cents!
You should not give him a bath because he is just a puppy, and maybe while your giving him a bath, soap will go into him ears and stsrt an infection. you can give him a normal bath in 1 year, but you can also wipe him with bath wipes from petco.
