| How often to bathe? Trinket is 10 weeks old today and is a bit smelly. How often do you guys bathe yours? I have been using wipes on her so to not have to bathe her often but she needs more than that right now. I am assuming a regular oatmeal based shampoo and conditioner will suffice? |

| About every two weeks is good. You dont need to use an oatmeal shampoo unless she has skin problems. A puppy tearless shampoo is good and I like to use conditioner but I use a human conditioner like pantene. Petco has a good shampoo biogroom.

| I bathe mine every week in the summer, spring and fall. My vet suggested this especially sense she sometimes as allergy issues. With a puppy I would use a tear free puppy shampoo that won't burn if they wiggle and get it in there eyes. In the winter I bathe her every two weeks or more as needed. But I use sensitive baby wipes every night and a clean warm cloth.

| I bathe Gizmo once a week. He's an indoor dog but he gets stinky by the 5th day so I push it to every Saturday. |

| You might start out with bathing once every 2 weeks and over time find that you may need to do it more/less often. Billi gets a bath every Saturday- 10 days is her absolute max. She gets greasy/stringy looking before long and her beard will smell even after I wipe it daily. I like the Viva La Dog Spa whitening shampoo, it brightens Billi's hair a lot. If she's been really itchy, then I'll use their oatmeal shampoo. And I love their conditioner- smells really good. They also have a really good detangler and eye wipes. I believe you can find their stuff at Petco, but I usually just order it off Amazon.

| We bathe the SSSuperdogs about every week to 10 days. We also do " butt baths" and " weinie washes" between the baths. 😆

| my guys get that too! I wash their paws after their evening walks every night, along w/their privates. Weekly bath, sometimes I stretch it to 10 days if bz, but by the 2nd week, they start to stink! I'll wash their beards/ mouths every 3-4 days bc it gets dirty from eating & drooling (mostly Momo).

| I bathe them once a month or so. Wipe them down after every walk and then spritz. I use GloCoat. If you email the manufacturing companies, they might send you a sample to try for free or maybe a coupon. |

| I have a mobile groomer come every 2 weeks, and he gets his full service grooming every other groom such as trim, do his nails, anal glands, sanitary cut and all that other good stuff :-) I find he starts getting pretty oily by that second week so definitely needs to be bathed every 2 weeks at the least :-) |

| A full bath every 2 weeks. She gets a butt wash every week. She likes to sleep on my head and I don't like the smell of pee.
