| How often do you bathe yours? I'm just wondering what the norm is among owners and if twice a week is excessive.

| twice a week sounds a lot to me unless your little one is getting very dirty. I bath Molly every 2 weeks in the winter, and maybe once a week in the summer. if she has been out running on the muddy fields, which she loves, an extra bath is needed!! |

| We do bathe our Yorkies once a week and then between baths we do "butt baths". Shelby & Seymour have full coats and sometimes their hair on their behinds need extra washing. We also use pet wipes daily.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Sunday come rain or shine. I think that twice a week is a bit much and will dry out the skin. Why are you bathing so much? I know smaller pups get to be a bit stinkier that older ones when they are potty training. I would suggest maybe a warm wash cloth during the week if that is the case and a full bath once a week.

| I bathe my little Bella every week in the summer and every week and a half to two weeks in the winter to avoid dry skin.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Ok then you might want to just rinse him off with no soap or shampoo. That is what really dries out the skin. So a full bath once a week and you can rinse him off or use baby wipes to freshen him up in between. Being that it's a dirt road my guess is you will want to go with the water rinsing.

| I bathe all of mine every week. Sunday mornings is my time with my dogs. They all get bathed, brushed and blowdried. And anything that needs trimming gets trimmed. They are all in full coat. |

| Roxy get's a bath once every two weeks, unless she's smelly, then it's weekly. I found every week she's getting better with it, and then I trim and do whatever else at the same time. |

| Sunday is pet bath day here too, every week. Then I brush them daily and use a warm wash cloth around eyes, mouth and privates every other day.
