Bath: how often?

[quote=Tuga;1329666]I don't think so... it seems to be really sensitive thought.
Once she felt in my mothers pool and she wouldn't stop scratching until I gave her a bath a couple of hours later. The next day she still scratched a little.

I should say that, even if she doesn't have any apparent skin problems (I've checked and it looks just fine and healthy) she scratches a lot sometimes.
Some time ago she had fleas so it was normal that she did so...

That's why I'm wondering about the baths frequency... does she scratch because I don't bathe her enough or because I do it too often?

It could be, but also if you don't get all the soap off of them, that could cause it. I use Minksheen and I use to put A LOT of soap on Aubrey and it only calls for a dime size. That little size will go a long ways..

We were giving Brody a bath once a week. My hubby swears he starts to smell like dog if we don't. /boggle He started to show a bit of flaking so we stopped. We're trying to give him a bath once every two weeks now with a water "bath" in between.

We try to bathe Daisy about once a week too..unless she goes to the groomers.

She doesn't get too dirty since she stays in most of the days. She doesn't like the too humid weather nor does she like chilly days. So overall, she's a pretty clean baby.

I do once a week. Two weeks at the most.
