How often do you bathe your dog(s)? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I usually bathe Carter twice a week. Its driving me crazy right now that I can't bathe him for 7-10 days because of his neutering.

We give the puppy's a bath once a week and brush once week.

OMW Sydnee was terrified of the blow dryer and wasn't any happier about the bath. I can see its going to take a few of these to get her mindset to being a cleanly creature. I used the most gentle shampoo I could find. Since the one I ordered isn't here yet from that one web site everyone said was great. Viki

carters mom, i know exactly how you feel! toby was just neutered too and not only did they say no bath or 7-10 days afterword, they aldo said no bath for 4 days before hand...... (and i usually give toby a bath twice a week too) and let me tell you.... after we got out of the vets office i could FEEL the filth on him, and he smelled like kennel...... yuk, i am DEFFINATLY going to be waiting the least amount of time until he gets pushed back in the tub

The day after Carter's procedure, I was getting out of the shower when Carter decided that he MUST get in the tub. As soon as I was out and dried off, he was inside the tub waiting for his turn!

I bathe Rambo a bath once a week. His coat is kinda of cottony so the groomer told me that if i wanted to ,i can even wait two weeks because his hairy isn't really that oily.

For the ones that bathe their Yorkies twice a week, do you notice any skin problems on them? Most of the books I've read say to do it once every two weeks or so. We've been bathing Yoda about once a week now, and it seems pretty good, unless of course he plays in mud outside or somewhere dirty, then he gets an extra cleanup. We really don't sense him smelling like a d-o-g until maybe two weeks without a bath, but once a week keeps him pretty fresh.

Hi Fasteddie, I have never noticed any problems with Schatzie's skin due to being bathed more often, (knock on wood

). In fact, she will definatley be getting a bath tomorrow morning as we went 4-wheeling today and she has dirt road dust stuck on her, yuck!

lol...... four wheeling how fun!.... and in answere to teh skin question.... No problems at all.... toby has the coat that i dont have to do anything to (dont even have to brush it

) but i only gave him a bath at least twice a week because of fleas, hopefully now that he is on advantage that will change to once a week... i have a pretty strict routine with him, he gets a bath every thurs and sunday! (after gramma's house, and before bed)

cant help myself, just a routine kinda person
