| How Often do you.... bathe your furbaby? I was watching that new show on animal planet, Groomer has it (love it, by the way) and they said that dogs only need to be bathed once a month So I was curious, how often does everyone bathe their furbabies ? I try to keep Teddy's bath's to a minimum and use the spray baths, but he gets pretty nasty and I find I have to give him a real bath about once a week or I just can't take it anymore.

| I try to give Tatum a bath every other weekend. If I wait any longer than that, she looks pretty bad (and stinky!). But she also plays outside quite a bit. We're in the country so she gets a lot of running exercise. If she stayed inside all the time, I don't know how often it would be necessary.

| Scooter normally gets a bath every weekend, but since he's been helping me in the yard , I'm having to bathe him more. Two or three times, he's come in with an earthworm matted into his fur! Yech!!! Can't let him in our bed like that!!! He's all boy! |

| Every Sunday is bath day! Clean sheets, clean Moose! We walk 3-4 times a week weather permitting (about 2-3 miles) usually on the beach. Moose loves the water, so if he gets wet and sandy, then more baths mid week! He too, is all boy!

| I give Tink a full bath every week or two. I do give her a 'top and tail' daily! As her eyes seem to need a wash each monring, so I washed the rest of her face, along with her little beard.......and while I am at it...her 'bits' too!

| Every other week, but if she needs one before that she gets it. I brush her and and wash her face daily and and think that helps keep her clean. Sass was having itchy skin and dandruff when I bathed her every week and now she isn't having problems.

| Funny you ask that...I just bathed them last night and OMG it took me about 2 1/2 hours to do three.... I do it about every 5-6 days, they look straggly and their hair gets peed on, like typical males they can't seem to aim it right.....
