Yes, I would attend to agree with you on this - just like taking too many 
anti-biotics when you don't really need to.  I know with the horse, if it has 
rain rot, then I treat accordingly (thankfully I only had one small case 
early this spring), but generally it's just a hosing off to get the sweat and 
dirt off.  With the dogs, a good brushing every day seems to be more 
beneficial than the more frequent bathing. Someone also made the comment that 
letting any shampoo stand for 10 minutes will kill the fleas, which seems 
like it would be beneficial for even a bacterial infection.'
