I have a dog and I'm not sure how often I should bathe him.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The bathing frequency for dogs depends on their breed and lifestyle. Generally, short-haired dogs need a bath every 2-3 months, while long-haired dogs require more frequent grooming.<|im_end|>

My dog is a Golden Retriever with long hair. What specific grooming needs do they have?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Golden Retrievers have a thick double coat that sheds heavily. They require regular brushing (at least 2-3 times a week) to prevent matting and tangling. They also need occasional trimming to keep their coat under control.<|im_end|>
