How do you keep your Yorkies clean between baths? How do you keep your Yorkies clean between baths? I have 6 dogs two of which are Yorkies. My other breeds can go WEEKS without getting stinky or needing a bath. But my Yorkies will start to look grungy about 2 days after a bath. What do you do to keep them clean between baths? I know you shouldn't bathe them to often. Also how often do you bathe your Yorkies? Thanks Guys!! |
Shay gets a bath once a week, I use Paul Mitchell wipes in between, baths. Shays facial hair gets bad fast so I have to was that more often.... Good luck |
I give my yorkies a bath once a week. Inbetween baths I use wipes. Maybe you can try using a different shampoo and conditioner. |
I have a customer who has papillons. They go MONTHS without baths and they look so good. so jealous. I bathe Uni once a week, maaaaaybe 1 1/2 week TOPS. I use detangling spray during brushing that keeps her smelling nice. She does have the teary eyes, so eye booger detail several times a day. By day 2 or so it starts to be noticable. I comb out the "crustables" and she will look better. What kind of shampoo/conditioner are you using? |
Everyone I talk to say any more than once every other week is to much. Yes their faces get dirty really fast. What kind of shampoo/conditioner do you suggest? |
I use a brand called Mane & tail sold at WalMart. They say it can be used for all pets?? Please correct me if I'm wrong. What should I be using? Also keep in mind I have 4 other dogs (different breeds) I would prefer to get ONE brand for all of them! Thanks Guys! |

You can use Espree shampoo and conditioners on all of them. |
I've heard of Mane and Tail, originally for horses. Personally i use Biogroom. You can email them and get free samples. I got four 4oz bottles, and two of them are concentrate (so dilute 4 parts water one part shampoo) I've lasted a long time with those free samples :D there are a lot of good products out there, but that's what I use. When Uni was a baby I bathed her every 2 weeks. She REALLY needed the bath by then. I think as puppies they are more sensitive, so I just beared with it. Now she is going on 3 yrs, and it's about once a week. Oh also when you bathe, don't use too hot of water, and when you blowdry use warm air, not hot. I even rotate between warm and the cool button. So they don't get dry, tight, itchy skin and scratch. |
Bio-Groom has a waterless bath spray that I just bought last week. I spray it on one of his washcloths and freshen him up. I bath Prince once every two weeks. Keep in mind he is mostly indoors. |
Penny gets a bath once a week. I try to keep her behind and lady parts clean so I will use wipes for that area and a moistened wash cloth (just water) for her face/paws and it helps a lot.:) Good luck! Btw we use Pet Head shampoo/conditioner:aimeeyork |
I bathe my girls once a week. I clean Missy's face daily though. I use a little round sponge and I stand her up on my bathroom counter with a towel under her. Then I just squeeze water from the sponge onto her boogery eye area, and I do her beard too. Once I've got it nice and wet, I use a flea comb to comb all the yuckies out. |
In between baths I use Petkin Deodorizing & Conditioning Pet Wipes. It contains Vitamin E and Aloe so I use them daily. |

Thanks guys! It's nice to know I'm not the only one bathing that often. I was trying to make it to once every other week but they just get yucky. Especially their faces. I'll have to get the wipes. I like the mane and tail because it has a shampoo and a conditioner and they come in large bottles. Any other (better) shampoo/conditioner combos that sell in the large bottles? |
Kimobo bathes every Saturday morning w/Biogroom Oatmeal Shampoo and Conditioner. He is an indoor boy and gets his hiney wiped after every poop. Half way through the week (Tuesday or sometimes Wednesday) I fill the sink w/2 inches of water w/a little shampoo and let his paws soak for a bit. I keep a clean potty pad, but I think he steps in his pee from time to time. I like his paws to smell fresh, not like pee. |

My groomer has his own shampoo and conditioner that has kept Troy fresh was 2 weeks now. Troy is soft easy to comb and smells awesome. |
Shelby & Seymour get baths every week. We use Earthbath, Chris Chritensen, and SPA shampoos (I alternate) and then we use....... BIOLAGE detangling solution as a conditioner.... but only on the body, not near the face/eyes. It works great. Then in between baths they get....... a "butt bath" and a "weenie wash" :eek: We shampoo just those "special" areas and they are good to go! :D |

We must have spoken to the same people. ;) It really depends on your yorkie's life style, and where you live. All of Prince's vets said not more than once every 2 weeks, but I tend to use the "as needed" rule. Of course, there are grooming details that we do on a daily basis, such as face washing, teeth brushing, privates/tummy hair check and feet washing if needed. I do tend to bath him weekly during the summer when he goes outside more. |

As far as Spray-- I use HOMEOPATH "Rosemary and Babassu" ENHANCE Dog Skin and Coat Conditioner. It's all natural, and organic and can be used in between washes to freshen coat up for shine and smelly goodnesS! |

I use HOMEOPATH "Rosemary and Babassu" ENHANCE Dog Skin and Coat Conditioner. This does smell SO good! My friend from Canada sent me some :thumbup: They get brushed, faces washed and eyes cleaned every day. Warm wash cloth and water. They get their teeth brushed a couple times a week (we are going to do better on this!) Used to use Petzlife but now I'm going to be using CET petpaste and ORA Vet gel wipes once a week. They get a bath every week. Both of my kids have very different coats so I use different things on each of them. I've tried a ton of different brands. Right now I'm using Nature's Specialties. I also use a conditioning detangler spray with brushings. |

Thanks for the information! Do you spray this on her dry coat before you brush or comb? (Just trying to learn new things and I appreciate the help. :)) |
