| [F]My boy gets bathed once a week or twice if he needs it. I don't have a problem with him being stinky but I do have the problem that he does look greasy and unkept after a few days. He has a silky coat.
I also have a poodle and cat which get bathed once a week.........they are so used to it, that it a custom in my household.
My yorkie had really bad flaky skin but after using missing link on him......it disappeared completely. This week, he got bathed twice because it snowed and they sanded down the sidewalk and he got very dirty on his walk.......
I am not saying you should wash him twice but just sharing that I bathe him 2 times a week most of the time and he has no skin or coat issues. He always smells great like the other animals.
I never wipe his whole body with the pet wipes. I just do his belly and butt area (he wears belly bands at times). I don't use doggy cologne because the poodle is sensitive to them and starts sneezing up a storm.
My recommendation would be first:
1). Check what kind of food(s) you are feeding him?
2). Does he need his anal glands expressed?
3). What grooming products are you using?
4). Are you rinsing all of the products off his coat?
Good luck [/FONT] |
