| Bathe More Often to Soothe Itchy Skin? Summerlin is still having dry skin, even after I have started bathing her with oatmeal. I have been bathing her once a week, but I was wondering if I could bathe her every three days or so, to help get rid of the dry skin and perk her up a bit? What do you guys think? I have noticed that most of you only bathe once a week or every two weeks, but she just seems so pitiful when she's itching.... |

| If you bathe her that often she will most likely have dryer skin. They say to bathe less frequently with dry skin

| Bathing her more often will strip her skin of natural oils and it will make her skin even MORE dry. If she has dry skin, she should be getting a bath every 2 weeks at the MOST! |

| She starts to smell if I don't bathe her. I love her to death, but I can't stand the "doggie" smell.... I have to bathe her so she will smell good. Any solutions to that? |
