I would suggest a bath every week to week and one half. When I cannot bathe the doggie smell out, they go to the groomer, which is usually once a month or every 6 weeks. Twice a week is too much, in my opinion. I use baby shampoo on their faces only, the CC products are good, sometimes I use Pantene and the CC conditioner. I brush mine every day, with Ice on Ice, brush their teeth and put their topnot in. If you start young and keep the routine up, they usually get used to getting groomed, although I guess some might not. My two do not jump with joy at bath time, but once we get going, I talk softly and encourage them, stay real close and give them a hug. By the time it's over, they are wet and I am too. I blow dry on low, which can take some time but the loud noise of the dryer on high is what causes mine to dislike the experience. Then, it's fun and games because they feel so much better and they get a treat for being good. I use my kitchen sink, it's higher so my back doesn't hurt. |
