how many times do you wash your yorkie? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Gracie2006 · 08-21-2006, 06:47 AM

1-2 times per week depending on how messy she gets with her pee pads. She likes to lay on them, and when she does that she gets really smelly!

Shooter gets a bath every other week since he has gotten a little older and depends on what he gets into when he is out in the yard.

OLIVIA_KARHIS · 09-03-2006, 06:13 AM

every 4 days.

Somewhere between a week and a week half.

I just used the Fur Butter (from tinkerbellscloset) and it works GREAT! Kona and Bernie are so soft right now!

Sunday is pamper day in our house, ears cleaned, bath, conditoning treatment etc. Although if they get dirty in the week they are bathed again. I also wash bums and feet after walks coz they sleep in bed with me

When she is dirty/smelly. Sometimes once a week .... sometimes more. when she was a pup she usually got one every day! I wash face, paws, bum if they get soiled but her face sometimes needs it several times a day.

I use Coat Handler's Clarifying Shampoo & Conditioner and don't have a problem with her coat.

once a week, sometimes if needed 2x, but not to offten.

I religously bathe him once a week. usually Tuesdays b/c I don't have class. But by Saturday (when we go home to see my parents and my bf's parents) he is kinda stinky and his coat has lost it's "poof" so I do him again on Saturday morning. No one wants to bring a stinky un-poofed puppy out to see the relatives!
He is getting good w/the blowdryer tho!

Every other week or so, sometimes more, depending.

Chelsey · 09-08-2006, 06:35 AM

Their faces get washed with a warm damp washcloth everyday, i bathe them once a week or more if they need it, it all depends on their activities.

mrs. chris · 09-08-2006, 07:14 AM

I wash whiskey every saturday and give her a deep conditioning treatment-i use sunsilk hair mask in a pink jar-makes her smell so dang good!!! course the next day she plays outside and gets stinky again!!!

she likes to take a bath with my girls so sometimes she gets a bath up to three times a week...so far no dry skin and her fur is finally getting shiny now that she is growing out of her puppy coat-she is five months old.

MinMuf1 · 09-08-2006, 08:05 PM

One or twice a week. My girls usually get weekly baths. But, my male being the stinker that he is ALWAYS gets one twice a week. He just can't seem to not squirt on himself...

Stomach hairs, feet, etc.

HALEYBABY · 09-08-2006, 08:16 PM

summertime once a week maybe more if they jump in the swimming pool, and once everyother week in the winter time, cause it's just to cold.

MRS H · 09-09-2006, 12:32 AM

Dexter , Dee Dee and Maggie have a bath once a week , if they do not they just get smelly especially Dexy he is tiny but has a potent pong about him!

doortego · 09-09-2006, 05:15 AM

Getting down to once a week or so. Used to do it much more often but decided I didn't want to spur on any skin problems. So unless she gets smelly, I try to stick with once a week. She stays pretty clean because she

is totally a house/car dog. We have lots of wild animals in our yard and I don't want to risk disease or injury.
