| Bathing? How often do you bath your little ones? I've heard in the past that dogs should not be bathed very often but these guys seem to thrive on it! Any harm in doing them too often? Lin 'New Yorkie owner, if you couldn't tell! |

| My babies get a bath at min. every two weeks. I use an all natural shampoo on them with natural conditions added to it. They have yet to have any dry skin or hair issues! There are times when I have to bathe my youngest almost daily! Believe me they can get that dirty that fast & that often!

| I bathe Spencer once every week and I brush him everyday. I use that Mane n Tail shampoo on him and his coat comes out soft and he doesn't seem to get dry skin from it or anything.

| Dior and Diesel both get a bath every two weeks, unless they are not extremely dirty from playing outside. They also get professionally groomed once a month.

| Smelly Pups I have to bathe Emmy every week and will probably have to bathe little Oscar the same. I guess it is because they are so little and low to the ground, but they can sure get dirty and smelly! Plus they both want to dig those muzzles into the ground...I think because they know I don't want them to. Emmy used to hate bath time, but since I started putting her in the shower with me, she does not mind at all. I think I do a better job of getting out the soap, too!

Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | Wash em up I bathe about every 2 weeks as well. Diggy gets them less often as he is a pup but his butt gets held under the running water and washed every other day about....His butt hairs are poo magnets! I do clip them but somehow the poo still seems to stick!

| I bathe mine every other weekend. They are in the house most of the time, but when we get our new fence up, I'll probably have to bath every week. I use PetSilk shampoo and conditioner and they are just so soft and pretty.

BANNED! | I bathe mine every 2 weeks or sooner if needed depending on how dirty they get from playing in the yard. They get brushed everyday. They get wet wiped on their weewee's and little behind before bedtime everynight. They get their teeth brushed 3 times a week atleast (usually more). |

| Once a week in the tub they go. Every 6 to 8 weeks to the groomer. Brush everyday & wash face everyday. Check their poo area all the time, wash when needed. My groomer reccomends Infusion conditioner. Works great
