| I bathe twice a week but only because Miley has a UTI and tends to get smelly quicker. Before her UTI it was just once a week with Isle of Dogs. Now I use Espree and I LOVE it.

| We bathe once a week, and do partial body washes in between when necessary. If you use mild products formulated for pets, and your dog has healthy skin, you don't need to worry about over doing it.

YT 2000 Club Member | I was doing it weekly but my 2 girls have flaky skin, so I cut back to every 2 weeks. Of course, if they roll in something nasty or walk through a mud puddle, they get a bath right away! My 2 princesses would never do something like that!!!!

| I normally bathe them once a week. But Barney has to stay dry until the stitches from his dew claw removals are taken out. So, my two stinky dogs will get a bath this Friday! Until then, I've used a lot of air freshener around the house. |

| I'm so nervous to clip Sophie's nails...any good tips to make it painless for both her and I? I also had the same question about bathing as I've never had small dogs before that I can actually bathe in my sink...so I was glad to see this post!

| Mine go to the groomer every week for their bath's and any trim up's that need to be done (nails, booty, hair in the paw pad's) I brush them at least twice a day using a grooming spay.

| I try to swaddle Princess Sophie so I can get to one paw at a time and she can't wiggle away. I also start with the bottom feet. Don't know why but I do.
