| I'm glad she's doing okay. I bathe mine once a week. Be sure to keep her warm afterwards

| I am glad to hear she is doing great. I bathe mine once a week or sometimes even every 4 days.....I bathe them when they need it, sometimes they get stinky sooner....I can't stand a stinky pup.... |

| me either... sometimes I do bathe Lacy more often. She had a bath on Friday and had another one today so she'd be clean and pretty for Christmas!

| I bathed Cooper for the first time today and he HATED it. My husband had to stand by because he was trying to jump out of the sink. I was also wondering if there was a "special" shampoo to use. I just bought a puppy, tearless shampoo at Petco. |

| The shampoo I use is by Lambert Kay...it's the Fresh n clean line. I use the Oatmeal and Baking soda kind. I also use the Oatmeal and Baking soda conditioner. It smells so good! Like a dryer sheet

| Wobie gets a bath once a week, sometimes more often if needed. In between baths, he gets wipedowns with puppy bath wipes to keep him fresh and clean.

| Bella and Coco get a bath 1x week, we use a tearless shampoo on their heads and face and dog shampoo and creme rinse on their body. I also use a spray on leave in conditioner for Coco because her coat is cottony and frizzish

| With your puppy being so young, 6 weeks if I recall correctly, I would wait a while before bathing her. Maybe use a warm wash cloth and wipe her down. 6 weeks, imo is too young to give a true bath to.

| I bathe my baby sometimes twice a week, depends on how stinky she gets--or if she gets into candy the kids leave laying on the floor. I love using Dark Beauty on my girl. |

| I bathe Jesse twice a week, which is what I find works for us. I like for him to smell fresh and shampooey all the time. 4 days is usually when he starts to smell a little bit dog-like, which is when I give him a bath. Some people don't mind dog smell, so they can go longer. For us, twice a week works. |

| I think 6 weeks is too young for a bath... my vet advised me to wait until 10 days after his rabies shot Now Milo is 6 months and I give him a bath after 10-14 days. |
