| How often do you bath...your yorkie A friend of mine recently told me her groomer jumped all over her for bathing her 2 inside dogs more than once a month! Is this the norm for all inside dogs? |

I guess it would depend on what breed they are. I don't think I could let my little hairy kids go more than 3 weeks max without a bath

| I usually bathe Addie once a week. The most she's gone without a bath is 2 weeks and that's not very often.

| How dirty is an inside dog going to get? If you brush yr dog daily and clean their butts if need maybe once a week. Other than that a bath shld only be once every couple of months. I brush my girls daily, we are outside a lot if weather permits. They will get baths once a month. I will have to wash paws and butts maybe once a week. Just do your brushing daily and you won't have to worry too much about bathing.

| I bath Sophie and now will bath Hazel once a week because they sleep with us and I want a clean, sweet smelling dog everytime I put on clean sheets! I don't think it is overbathing unless you are using a harsh shampoo that strips the hair of its natural oils. The shampoo I use is all organic and has a ph of over 9 so it's really great on yorkie hair and doesn't strip out the natuarl oils. |

| Once a week in the summer, every 10 days in the winter. Show dogs every 4 days.

| My pups get a bath about once a week. They start to smell too much like "dog" if they go longer than a week without a bath, and because we let them on our furniture I think it's important to keep them bathed & smelling good!

| I bathe mine every two weeks or if needed in between. I also use wipes and leave in conditioners and oils for my two all the time to avoid having a stinker! LOL I have heard several different things but this is what works for us. You have to do what works for you and what is working for yours.

| Ok. Like many of you I bath Maddie every 7-10 days. She too sleeps with us and is everywhere. It seems like she gets a little stink goin on if we go much longer than that. |

| I give Isla a bath once every week or two depending on activity and if she gets into anything. Sometimes she just stinks and looks like she needs a bath.
