 I have a two year old Morkie
I bathe my two year old Morkie, named Sadie, every two - three weeks. She gets tear stains often. She also gets what I like to call "eye boogies" that I wipe away several times a day. Having short hair around the eye area helps A LOT!!! So make sure the eye area is short. I trim her myself, as I used to work part time for a grooming salon back in high school. Although it's not difficult to trim the hairs inbetween grooming. Just be careful when using scissors near your dog's eyes!!! They can move their head easily. Especially when seeing scissors or anything close to their eyes. So make sure your dog's head is being held so her head doesn't move at all when trimming!!! I do this myself but you may want to have someone else hold your dog's head. If you don't think this can be done safely then please have your groomer do this!!!
To answer your question - you should bathe your morkie every 2 - 4 weeks. If your morkie gets dirty from being outside or whatever then you should bathe your morkie that day! You should brush your morkie daily too.
My morkie looks more like maltese. She had long curly white hair. But when it started getting warmer here in NJ, I decided to have her hair cut short. She looks even cuter with short hair. Sort of like a mini Labrador Retriever. Plus, brushing her has become much easier with short hair. If your morkie has long hair, you need to brush daily to avoid knots and hair getting matted. |
