| I try to bathe every 2 weeks too. I've noticed as Hallie gets older her skin seems to be drying out so lately I've been bathing her about every 3 weeks with special conditioner The after bath crazies are fun aren't they? |

| Every two weeks sounds about right..ideal actually, sometimes Isabel goes a little longer with spray conditioner between baths for a little freshen up.

| I was about to ask the same question. I bath mine once a week but, with the marking problem I am having he stats to smell very quickly. Sometimes I have to bath him a couple times a week to keep the smell down. The spot cleaning does not work with him. I use Arbonne ( for humans) shampoo and conditioner and his coat seems to take it very well.

| I bathe Mufasa every 2 weeks. I don't know if I could handle bathing anymore often than that because he HATES a bath. He HATES to be brushed after his bath too. Bathtime is always a GREAT joy at my house. NOT!!!! roflmfao |

| Jake twice a week. He has demodex. If demodex isnt dormant he is bathed 3 times a week. But thats when his demodex gets really bad. Jenny once a week. They stink up fast though.
