| Hi and welcome to yorkie talk!! It's a great place! I've heard lots of different answers on the bathing question. Some people every 3 days, some once a week, some once every 2 weeks. I bathe my Hercules about every 2 - 3 weeks. I really think it's best to gauge how often you think Nikko needs to be bathed - like it might depend on how often he goes outside. Please post pictures if you can!

| Brandi is right, everyone has a different idea about this. I personally bathe my dogs once a week - more only if they get very dirty (this happens more often to my older dog, Sandy - she likes to play in dirt!)

| Bathing Sweetie getts a bath about once every week-and-a-half. She seem to get a odour about her by then. Do use doggie shampoo, it is easer on there skin. Wellcome

| More than 1 bath a week is only in a extreme necessity or emergency...the skin needs time to replenish the oils before you wash it again. Also human shampoo is extra harsh on yorkies skin, the ph is also different...so if using human shampoo dilute it a lotttttt of choose a neutral ph shampoo. I bathe Mojo as needed, which is at least 7 days and the max of 15 days So it is really depending on your necessity...the only think i would be careful is with excessive bathing... |
