Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I think a good rule of thumb is when they start to smell not-as fresh as you would like Baxter can go 2 weeks...sometimes 3. (Couch Potato) Darcy can go about 2 weeks, but usually gets one a week because she is older and has pee pee accidents in her sleep sometimes. and Cooper...needs one every week (he plays outside the most). |

| We seem to be doing about once a week because she plays outside so much. She loves going for walks but then decides she needs to roll in the grass. |

| I never bathe Callie more then once a week for fear of drying her skin out unles she has found a mud puddle then its straight for the tub but normaly I wait until she is stinky and looks like she needs a bath which is normaly once a week because she loves runing outside.

| The big thing I have seen named on here is Pet Silk I am going to order it in a few days if they won't send a sample. Right now I have Italian Pet Spa shampoo and the daily spritz in Italian ButterMilk & Sugar sent. It smells so good. So far its doing good on her but shes only 9 weeks old so we will see what happens when I let the coat grow out. |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Mine all get a bath once a week at least and after every visit to the dog park where they roll around in who knows what I use NuSalt shampoo for dogs and Relief Creme Rinse for dogs. Mandy needs a bath twice a week as she tends to have skin issues if we even go a week.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | My latest is Iv San Bernard and it has been my favorite of all the things I've tried (and believe me, I've tried many of them, both human and pet products) I love their PEK conditioner and will use it til I'm convinced something out there is better. The product can be a little difficult to get here and is a bit more expensive, but Oh, it is so worth the $$ and trouble!

| I give Fiona a bath once every two weeks, sometimes i'll clean up her bottom area to get rid of the urine smell. When i worked as a grooming assistant i was told to do it every 2 weeks, so you dont dry out their skin!

| Bella hates the bath, she gets all scared and shakes when shes in there until shes out. When shes out, she runs around like a crazy person who belongs in the asylum rofl. I try to make the bathing experience fun by putting in some rubber ducky toys. We'll see how that goes! Heading to the bath now! |
