[Prince321]

Hi all! Prince is about 8.5 wks now and I've had him for about 1.5 wks. I've given him 2 baths, I used "Mohica's Finest - All Natural Oatmeal Hypoallergenic" shampoo from Petco. I know that washing him too often can be bad for his hair, so I'm trying to keep it down to once a week. However, after a few days he starts itching. I think he has dry skin and I'm afraid to use something that will aggrevate him even more. Someone suggested "Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo"... Should I be using conditioner? I use puppy wipes daily to wipe him down and clean his paws after he goes outside and his butt after he does his business...

Also, how do I know if he has ear mites? His ears have a "smell" but nothing strong. He does itch his ears but I'm not sure what "normal" scratching is... Today, I bought Petco brand "Ear Cleansing Liquid for dogs" I'm afraid to use it on him since he's so small... After I told someone about the product, I was informed that only a groomer or a vet should be cleaning his ears?!

Please help:
1) What shampoo is best for an itchy puppy?
2) Do I need a conditioner?
3) How often can I bathe him?
4) Who can clean his ears? What product is best?

An off topic question?? He just started eating Science Diet Toy Breed Puppy food. I've noticed that he's dragging his butt on the floor as if he's "scratching" it... Should I be concerned??

Please help!!
