How often do you bathe your Yorkie? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I was just wondering how often everyone bathes their Yorkies.

LOL Steph! Once a year? Every six months? GROSS! How come no option for more than once a week?

Stewie is bathed once every 5-8 days. He stinks by then, too

Pixie gets a bath whenever she starts to get stinky which is usually every two weeks.. sometimes it's more often if she's been outside.

HAHAHA, Kristy, true! LOL!!!

Sully gets a bath once a week....but I try to put it off a day or two extra if I can b/c he gets dry skin. So, I'd say every 8-9 days or so?

But I was tempted to check the once a year box...just for laughs. But I didn't

Maggie gets a bath every week. It's the only way I can keep her hair silky and tangle free. If I let it go longer than that, it seems like her hair starts to feeling gummy. She plays hard everyday with my two big dogs, and swims every afternoon. That probably why she gets dirtier faster than most babies.

Well, I know that some people (maybe not anyone on here) bathe their dogs once every 6 months to a year. I bathe TJ and Riley once a week, but I figured that I would have tons of options. I didn't think anyone abthed their Yorkie more than once a week.

I bathe Gucci once a week also. If she still clean I will try to do it every 2 weeks.

I try to give my 3 a bath every week during the summer months. The heat and humidity is so bad here in TX that by the end of the week they are beginning to smell. During the winter I only do it about once a month.

When it was just Oreo And Ginger.. they'd get a bath once a week. Now that we have Cloey, It's harder to keep all three of them clean. As much as I'd like to bathe them once a week. I usually have to do twice a week just because it's super hot out here, they get very dirty easily (I hate when they step in their own poop

)..

We used to bathe my Lab once every three months. She had dry skin and couldn't handle baths more often. PLUS she was HUGE and I had to hook up a hose into the basement and open a basement window that was facing the yard. I'd wash her out there with the warm water from inside and use a freaking bottle of shampoo. It was a pain in the you know what.

I honestly had NO IDEA that Stewie would require so much bathing. Makes me wanna cut his coat down. We'll see.

I just put mine out in the yard and wait for it to rain:

CarolynAnh · 07-01-2005, 09:05 PM

I wash Emma about once a week, sometimes it slips my mind and i'm a couple days late. Sometimes it's more than that because she has figured out how to jump in the shower with me... scared the living daylights out ot me the first time,after that i have to give her a bath otherwise her hair gets all funky. I think she's finally learning not to do that anymore.

I've been bugging my husband to fix that stupid door ... he never listens.

Once a week,on a Tuesday.It used to be Saturday but I forgot,so it landed on a Tuesday.I bathe them in my laundry sink,it's deep and big so they can't climb out.We used to bathe them in the kitchen sink when they were still small,then we relocated them to the bath tub and they splashed water everywhere.So the laundry sink works the best.

Where do you guys bathe them?
