| Grooming/Coat questions. How often do you all take your Yorkies to the groomers? I took mine a couple days after I got her and she look gorgeous. She looks great right after I brush her but her coat is so oily. (I gave her a bath myself) maybe I am not using the right shampoo for her coat. Anyways. It is about a month so I have an appointment for Thursday.

| I use biogroom, and I like it. I know its not the best, but its available at Petco so its convenient. I want to try Cranberry Fields next time.

| I've only taken Sukoshi to the groomers twice, and I've had her for 5 months now. I give her weekly baths and brush her teeth, so I just take her when I think she's "due" for a trim, nail clipping, deep conditioning, etc. When she gets older (she's 9 months old today), I plan on taking her every month or so. |

| Mine have never been to the groomers. I do all of the bathing and grooming myself. |

| Alright!!! I gave her a bath and she did well. I sprayed her with conditioner and I will be brusing her soon with a slicker? brush. She handled the bath very well. I am not impressed with the shampoo. It was something I used on my pom but she is not a shiny. ANY shampoo, conditioner suggestions??

| I give Sheba a bath on the first day of every month when I give her the heartgaurd and frontline stuff. I read on a Yorkie site that a daily clarifying shampoo will help reduce knots so I've always used Suave daily clarifying shampoo and conditioner on her and for her inbetween groomings/brushings I use a spray bottle with Infusium leave in conditioner very watered down in it to spritz her before I brush out any knots. They come out better if they're damp it seems. |
