Last time I just brought him in the shower with me. He was waiting around to lick my legs, so I just scooped him up and brought him in. Had his puppy shampoo waiting...it was fast and mess free. But you should have seen his eyes, when he was under the shower with me. haha

| ZoE gets a bath once a week. Sometimes we stretch it alittle longer, but she's never gone more than 2 weeks without a bath, even when she was spayed.

YT 1000 Club Member | Romeo gets a bath weekly, except during the summer it's probably every four days (his hair gets greasy in the hot and humid weather).

| Once every 7-10 days. I can't believe your friend said don't bathe at all. Was she joking? lol

| Once a week for Copper. I usually wash his face once or twice also. His tears sometimes get stinky and I like to cuddle a clean smelling dog!

Max Main's Mamma Donating YT Member | I agree with everyone. I bathe every week unless he has had a dirty week then I do it 2 times a week. Not bathe at all??? I wonder her reasoning behind that.

| Not bathing a dog at all is kinda gross. And yorkies due to there hair not fur its different then most dogs and need more baths. Plus if you are using a good shampoo it shouldn't matter. My vet even said when Callie was having allergy's bad that it would be ok to bathe her twice a week in oatmeal shampoo. But I normally just bath Callie weekly or every other week just depends.

| We bathe Toki at least once every two weeks but usually it is once a week, especially when she 's been romping around outside and at the dog park. I wipe her face and paws and bottom daily though. Man. I don't know who'd recommend never bathing a dog. Especially if they sleep with you or lay on the furniture. |

Yorkie Yakker | Who is this friend?? lol. Dont bathe him at all? I used to bathe gigi every 3 or 4 days because she used to pee and poop on herself alot during the night when she was younger but now every 7 days or so. She loves baths. She also goes to the groomer twice a month. |
