| OK, how can I tell if she (Pinky) has dry skin or not? What shampoo should I use? Our breeder and even the vet said that using high quality baby shampoo is good.. |

| Bath day is every Saturday in our house. I use Minksheen. It is a shampoo and conditioner in one. I also mix it with Bio-groom super conditioner. You could probably tell if your baby has dry skin if he/she is scratching a lot or if you see dry skin flakes. |

| I bathe Fancy a little more - I give her a bath about every 4 days. I try to go longer but the "ocd" kicks in and I have to make her smell shower fresh again! I will be honest, it did dry her skin out in the beginning and she had a few flakes but after a few months I have not seen any flakes and her skin is not dried out. I don't know if her skin & hair have gotten used to it being done so often - or if its the shampoo/conditioner.... I don't know but her skin tolerates it now.

Senior Yorkie Talker | I am a professional groomer and I really don't recommend bathing more than once every 2 to 3 weeks. even if the skin does not look dry, bathing strips the natural oils from the skin and coat.
