I wanted to be sure and thank everyone for their advice. I have stopped bathing Boodles so much, I only hose him off now, I've started brushing him, and I am giving him one fish oil capsule a night and it's made an incredible difference! I really appreciate everyone's help and Boodles is so glad you straightened his Mommy out. :-) Kristan

Your Labradoodle (depending on type) only needs bathed 1 to 2 times a year with soap, other times he should be fine if hosed off. Brushing your dog is more important than bathing as brushing will release the oil in his skin and distribute it though his coat, you will find with frequent brushing you're able to get out dirt and any foul odor.

I wash him about once every two weeks so I think it's the dry, cold weather. Any advice on how to moisturize his skin without making him greasy?
