| Greasy hair? I'm a new yorkie mommy and loving it but I have lots of questions . My little girl has very greasy hair/fur on her head, even after her bath it gets greasy again. I bought a puppy no tears shampoo at petco, is there anything else someone could recommend? |

| Our two get greasy hair in the winter when we use a lot of hand lotion...I also found rinsing was almost more important than using the shampoo-and so hard to do a good job with the puppy squirming so. |

| Hi & welcome to YT My boy had oily hair whe he was a puppy. I think that it's a pretty common thing. He eventually outgrew it. But even now, if I wait longer than a week to give him a bath, he'll start to get oily. Someone recommended that I try Sebamed shampoo & it actually did help. Here's a link: sebamedusa.com I had never heard of it before, but it's about $13 & they have it at a lot of pharmacies near me. They also have a conditioner. If she gets REALLY oily, you might want to check with your vet. But I've seen the oily head issue come up here more than a few times. My old groomer also used to tell me about all of his "greasy Yorkies" clients. So you're not alone Your little girl is a cutie pie! Good luck!
