If you use a quality shampoo and conditioner, you can bathe them once a week without drying out their skin. I actually bathe mine about every 10-14 days. If you wait a whole month to bathe them, you are probably going to have some nasty eye gunk build-up. They make ncie little pads to wipe the corners of their eyes with -- they work well for in between baths. You cna also just use a warm wet washcloth.
If you are worried about dry skin, I can recommend a great product -- Espree Luxury Remoisturizer. Use it after the shampoo just as any other condiitoner. I love Espree products. The Silky Show Shampoo or the Hypoallergenic Coconut Shampoo are my favorites. They also have an Oatmeal shampoo that many like.
I use Fluffy Puppy Shampoo and Conditioner (Biogroom) for all the pups and continue to use it on adult faces. The no-tear formula is great for squirmy ones in case they get some in their eyes and it leaves them smelling great!
I use Minksheen shampoo most of the time on adult dogs. It has natural insect repellants, natural antibacterial, and coat conditioners. It leaves them with the best shine too! But I like to occasionally rotate the Espree products in for the smell and a little variety. |
