| I've always bathed mine once a week (every 5 - 7 days), unless they were sick.

| I have heard once a week but sometimes I just can't stand it! I wash Shelby's face and bottom every day with a wash cloth with a little baby shampoo. She sleeps in the crook of my neck at night so I will live with the dry skin. |

| I bathe Sango just about once a week to once every week & a half. Between baths I always: 1) Wipe her face up after every meal with a warm damp washcloth. 2) Wash her lil' butt every night before we go to bed, and her paws if she's been playing outside. I do this by cradling her in one arm & running some warm water from the sink over her bottom/paws and giving them a good rinse. 3) I wipe her paws right after she comes in the house from playing outside with her sister or a walk with a warm damp washcloth. Hot damn' I think Sango stays cleaner than my fiance!! LOL I hope this helps Dad!

| so taken a bath every other day if they stink is not advised? I like the idea of a warm wet wash cloth. those disposable wipes just don't cut it for me. |

| I use any brand baby wipes, they smell good and sometimes I wet them a lil more with water to make them more wet. If you have a good smelling leave in pet conditioner, add a very little dab to the wipe and then wipe it on pup. Works great for me! Other than that I bathe about once a week or 2, depends how messy. |
