| Yorkies and swimming Do you wash your yorkie after they go swimming in the pool? I usually don't take Kayah into the pool (private in the backyard) until the day I have to wash her so that I can get all the chlorine off of her.. but it's like 100 degrees in the sun today and Kayah still has untill Friday for bath day.. soo.. I was wondering.. Do you guys bathe them after they go swimming, rinse them off, or just let them run dry? I don't want Kayah's skin to get itchy and/or flakey.. so I need your help

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Hi ! All of mine have been in our pool and I just let them run dry !!! They feel so much better and it cools them right off. I haven't had a problem with their skin, but they aren't in it everyday either. Just once in awhile |

| We've been letting Maxwell run dry. We have low level chlorine. He never gets his head wet (his choice). He'll float on our float for a treat, then we let him swim to the steps and he's done. |

| Same here - Sadie just airs dry. I put a beach towel down the deck for her to roll on afterward - she loves that!!
