| ![]() i wash mine 2-3 times a week, i use conditioner everytime, been doing this since i got her last march, no signs of dry skin yet... we have a bigger dog that stays outside and she loves to go out and play with him and roll in the grass. She buries her bones in the yard. It doesn't take long for her to get dirt and grass in her hair, sometimes mud too when the bigger dog knocks his water bowl over, she starts playing in the mud and when my husband waters the grass she gets muddy too lol |

| ![]() I try to hold off until 2 weeks, but it's usually once a week for me. I haven't noticed a problem with dry skin. Maybe you can use an especially gentle shampoo and moisturizing conditioner if you have to bathe more often?

| ![]() I bath mine once a week. I wipe their faces alot during the day and use wipes on paws and butt areas when needed, I will also do a "butt bath" if they need it in between regular baths. In the summer I sometimes bath more often because they seem to get messier than usual.

| ![]() We give baths every week usually, but only because I am allergic to doggie dander. Yes, non-shedding dogs cause less allergies, but they still have dander.

| ![]() I also try to bath Finnigan once every 2 weeks, unless he needs it sooner. We use wipes for his eyes and any other needed areas in between. I used to bath Finnigan several times a week, but it made his "puppy smell" stronger. My vet thought I was making his oil glands go into overdrive from bathing too frequently. I notice if I go back to once a week in the winter Finnigan itches alot more, no flaking/redness of his skin, but its probably drying it out.

| ![]() Everyone gets a bath, condition and blowdry on Sunday morning. In between I always wipe their eyes to keep them looking clean. Now if they do something crazy I will give them a bath during the week but that doesn't happen too often.

| ![]() every two weeks with butt wiping as needed. sometimes sasha keeps a lil sumtin sumtin stuck to her butt so i have to clean it off, but since she's essentially a house dog, everytwo weeks suffices for me. |
