| How often should you bath your pup ? My pup is 9 months old and she sometimes smells. We bath her once a week but I thought this is too often and may cause dry skin. How often do you bath your furbaby? |

| I bathe all of mine once a week. I don't have a dry skin problem, but if you get one, there are oatmeal shampoos and conditioners for that. |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I do whenever they need it not more than once a week unless they got out and rolled in crap or something then I will go ahead. In the winter seem like they don't need it as much as summer months. I have gone as long as a month in the winter. Mine don't have dry skin so that is not a problem.

| I bath my dogs anywhere from 7-10 days. Especially my pug, he could use a bath everyday. (I think they are just naturally stinky dogs!) |

| My pup is almost 4 months she also takes a shower once a week along with my 1 year yorkie. Yes the can get dry skin, Marley had this problem. My suggestion is to buy a really good shampoo and conditioner that made huge difference in Marley's hair, plus I don't put shampoo on his back(where he was getting dry) only every other week just their face paws and private parts. i hoped this helped I know is difficult to wait more than one week |

| I think they have products for the smell and dirt that occur between baths. You're rightt, you should probably avoid bathing more than once a week or so.

| Mine get a bath once a week. It can be a lot of work bathing 3 dogs! lol Thank goodness my daughter's each take a pet and bathe ,dry ,style and dress them. They wanted to learn soooo bad when I first got Cookie so I taught them over several months about detangling,proper washing,water temp and blow dry temp is always on Medium. All three are indoor dogs and could probably wait 10 days between baths but we kiss them sooooo much that after 5-6 days I tell my hubby that their heads smell like our mouths! lol Genie, Cookie, Lola & Angel |

| I bath my girls once or twice a week, i take them in the shower with me, and give them a daily face wash with a warm damp cloth. I keep wet wipes at hand for after potty, to wipe their private parts. |

| My little ones get a bath every Saturday. Gizmo could probably go longer without a bath but Rudy wets himself on his underbelly so he really needs it.
