Mine all play fight all day long and get their saliva on each other. Ben, especially starts looking straggly after 3-4 days. So, they are getting a weekly bath and sometimes more if they need it. There are lots of in between clean-ups too -- especially the eyes, chins, and behinds.

I also use Cowboy Magic detangler diluted with water for brushing. That sort of cleans them up a little too.
I agree. Petsmart left a bad taste in my mouth when they cut too much hair off of Izzy. Its still shorter than I like it but its growing back. I use Buddy Wash leave in conditioner spray in between weekly baths. It smells really good! They do need touch ups througout the day.
