if you are referring to a full bath, i think every 2 to 3 weeks would be sufficient . in between you can use a facecloth to do her face and feet. | |

| You just ask away - everyone's more than happy to respond and try to help.... Opinions differ on this - I personally bath Harry once a week, or as and when needed. I keep reading on YT about all these wonderful products....which unfortunately we can't get in the UK So, a good shampoo, then conditioner, then lots and lots of rinsing to save drying their skin. I love bathing Harry....not sure he feels the same though Sally + Harry x |

| I give baths once a week. But my girls are both in and out so they need it once a week. I would base it on when my baby needed it.

| Daisy has a long coat. I bathe her every 4th day..The shampoo I use is all natural ingredients, so its not harsh or drying. I don't use conditioning spray to brush out her coat...too oily and makes brush drag after second day. I just use water in a spray bottle. Water gives the hair strands elasticity too. Also freshened coat up. Dries up just lime she's just had a bath. |

| Well in the summer, I end up bathing him once a week. He's always swimming in chlorine, lakes, etc, and rolling in dirt... in the winter it's spread out to once every 2-3 weeks.

| Welcome to the YorkieTalk family and congratulations on your new baby. You have come to the right place to learn and to share your Yorkie. Funny, most folks in the "outside" world just don't understand our love and devotion to these furry little darlin's. Lollie, who is in full coat and wraps is bathed every 4 days and my man Peppy, is kept in a puppy cut and is bathed every couple of weeks. |

| With a puppy it can vary. Since they tend to get into things you may have to bathe any where from daily to bi weekly. Use a mild shampoo that does not have sulfates. All natural is best. When your puppy gets older it is also going to depend on the coat length and life style. If you use a good all natural shampoo you really can't over bathe. Gracie's fur is pretty long right now so I bathe her weekly. She is only outside on a leash so she doesn't get very dirty but a weekly bath keeps her fur looking nice. |

| Hi there and welcome, as you can see it varies from dog to dog, enjoy your puppy and bath as you like, the most important part about bathing is rinsing, just rinse very well.

| Hi there fellow UKr. I bath my girls every week to ten days depending on the weather and how muddy they get. I found a website called HUB international and Petcetra who sell lots of products from the US such as Biogroom and. Pet silk Lots of goodies to chose from.
