Right now, I currently use plain o Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo or their foaming shampoo....I wet a little baby wash cloth, wet their face and get the shampoo all foaming and get around their eyes and mouth/beards and rinse.

Thanks for sharing Mojo and Lily Grace's daily facial skin/no fur care regimines!! Using baby washcloths is a great idea. I think the cloth would grab more than the wipes. Thanks again.

They've got really cute sets of 5 or 6 in a pack....I got some that are whites and coral and pale greens with little animal head appliques on them. They're just perfect for these guy's little faces....now I need to get distilled water after reading this, LOL.

This is what I LOVE about YT.....always something to learn to keep our furry companiions safe and healthy!

Ooo I think I will go today to our WalMart and try to find those cute washcloths! I hope ours carries them too. Thanks so much!

Also try the second hand stores for baby items. I usually pick up washcloths there really cheap. I've been watching for a baby scale and then seen theses and they were a great buy.

They know the routine, so when I say "let's go to bed", they run straight to the bathroom. I warm some distilled water and use a warm baby wash cloth with a tiny bit of Buddy Wash to wash their faces. The distilled water is also good for cleaning the eye gunk, but if you give them distilled water to drink all the time, it eliminates a lot of that problem. I also wash and dry their paws. I use alcohol-free, fragrance free baby wipes on their butts and there privates. I have a baby wipe warmer....yeah ok, they are a wee bit spoiled.

Then, I use a Q-tip to apply Petzlife Oral Care Gel to their teeth, followed by PetzLife Oral Care Spray. This product is wonderful, and my vet always comments on how nice my boys' teeth are. I bought mine at a good price from AMD here at YT. She ships fast and has good sales. Next, they get brushed and Jackson gets PJs on....Jake won't wear them.

Of course, they didn't like the Petzlife at first, but they are used to it now and tolerate it and stay still for me. I also brush their teeth twice a week with a fingertip toothbrush and doggy toothpaste. They tolerate the fingertip toothbrush much better than a regular one.

Some think I go overboard, but I want my boys to be around for a long time, so it is worth the extra effort to keep them healthy, especially their teeth.

Thank you so much for sharing Jackson and Jake's nightly get ready for bed regimine! It was so helpful and I really enjoyed hearing how these little guys hupto to the bathroom when it's time for bed...just so cute! They are lucky little guys to get those warmed up wipes! You are a very good mommy!! I was so glad you went into detail about the Petzlife routine. I had just gotten both the spray and the gel in the mail. I loved your last line....I am a dental hygienst so I couldn't agree with you more!
Thanks again!

You're welcome, I'm glad you found it helpful. My hubby kinda laughed about my nightly routine with the boys until he was at the vet with us, and my vet kept saying what nice teeth they have. You will love the Petzlife!! It really is a great product! It takes some work and some patience to get them to cooperate, but don't give up because they will eventually be fine with it. I use lots and lots of praise and they get lots of snuggling and kisses when we're done. I can't give them treats after the Petzlife....it kinda would defeat the whole purpose lol. So, I use lots of praise, and my guys love it!!

Another thing I thought of. I've found that if you touch your yorkies a lot, especially their feet and their faces, then they get used to that and don't mind when you clip their nails, wash their faces, or brush their teeth. My boys will sit really still for me to clip their nails, but they squirm around for my husband. Also, they would never let him brush their teeth, but they will stay still if he brushes them. I do the majority of the grooming, but I realized that they were getting used to me doing it, and if something would come up and I can't, then what? So, my husband helps me with the bedtime routine a lot of the time. I wanted to make sure they would be comfortable with him doing it in case I'm too sick or I'm in the hospital because I have some health issues. They both LOVE my husband, but they were more used to me doing it. I think it's important to have someone else who can do it for you if you're unable.

Let me know how it goes with the Petzlife!

I use the Spa Lavish facial scrub on my three. I like the smell and it lightens the tear stains on my Malts. I also carry it on my site under shampoos if you don't want to pay the handling fee on Pet Edge.

Thanks for the info about the spa face wash on your site. I had just ordered a couple days ago a LOT of it from Petsedge! I went with a gallon since I have the three dogs too! I will definitely remember your site when it is time for a reorder though!! I am so glad to hear about the tear stains lightening on the malts. Two of mine are shih tzus and they are white around the eye area. They get so stinky from the eye gunk so quicky like in a day! I cannot wait to get them started on it!! Thanks so much!
