| Bathing, and Grooming I was wondering how often people bathe their yorkies? What kind of shampoo/conditioner you use? My yorkie always seems to have dry hair. And my silkypoo always seems to get mattes. What types of combs/brushes do you use? Thanks! |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Bubbles gets a bath every sunday evening. I use Biogroom, buddy wash as well as Minksheen (summer time). I alternate to get a different smell. Best to use a good dog shampoo and not human shampoos. I know a lot of folks have said they use baby shampoo.

| Ours get bathe once every 7-10 days. I would invest in quality grooming tools, like a Madden or CC brush. Also, purchase a good leave in conditioner or make one yourself. There are many threads here on this topic, feel free to do a search under grooming in the forums. I've learned so much there. Hope that helps. |

| I bathe Nala weekly with Yorkie Splash & Shine.... and she smells sooo good! She gets her face and furrybutt washed more often. I use the pink Madden pin brush on her and it works very well.

| I really like Harry Barker Oatmeal Shampoo and Conditioner... Have used Yorkie Splash and Shine and like it too. I bathe Tillie and Bella every two weeks or so... depending on the weather... more often during summer of course You may want to search Shampoo in the box at the very bottom of the page (be sure to click YorkieTalk.com) as there a number threads with recommendations.
