How often does your furbaby have a BATH? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Sass · 05-27-2008, 10:33 AM

Every 1-2 weeks. Every night before bed she gets her hair brushed, face washed/paws cleaned and her teeth brushed.

Pixie has a bath about once a week, she's not too happy about it but she's pretty good considering...sometimes, especially if the weather is particularly cold and because she's a tiny girl, i might leave it a week and a half or 2 weeks and just give her face & bottom washes with baby bath in a little bowl...works quite well.

Friday night is bath night for Koda & Kammie!

crystalsmom · 05-27-2008, 11:40 AM

Once a week over the weekend and which ever day, I have more time.

Barclay loves his bath. He actually puts his face right under the faucet!!! I still can't get over how different he looks wet!!! Totally different Barclay!!! My daughter and I give him a bath once a week, usually on Sunday night. Right after bath, he sits up on my lap, chews his bone while I brush him while we watch desperrate housewives together. He loves it as much as I do!!!

Sebastian gets a bath once a week. He used to hate it but now doesn't mind. Of course, he gets a treat afterward!

Jaya and Jenna · 05-27-2008, 06:17 PM

2 proper baths a week - shampoo, conditioner, ears, teeth, nails.
Plus 1 water-only bath once a week.

So three times a week I guess.

They get their hair trimmed and bottoms shaved once a month.

I bathe Bear two times a week ... his hair gets greasy really quickly, so I have to bathe him a lot, lol. Plus he likes to step in his poop too

I think he does this because I'm pretty sure I got him from a bad breeder

What's done is done, but he sure doesn't have a problem stepping in his poop or his urine! It makes me think that he was forced to be in a crate & forced to pee & poop in there. He HATES baths though, but he's only nine weeks, so hopefully since I have to bathe him so much he'll get used to it & eventually love it!

I bathe my two every 10 days or so. But each evening after dinner, they get their faces rinsed with soap and water and paws washed.

Nancy1999 · 05-27-2008, 09:55 PM

For Joey it's once a week too. I saw a vet on the Oprah show who insisted that dogs should get no more than 2-3 baths a year, and that it was really bad for their skin. I have read this about certain breeds, but I couldn't believe he was lumping all breeds together. Apparently, he's never owned a yorkie.

blueeyes_jd · 05-27-2008, 10:06 PM

yep Gracie gets one once a week too! she HATES them too!! but shes so little that I can just hold her with one hand and wash her with the other...

hornsbyj1 · 05-27-2008, 10:34 PM

Our plan for the day is: Let the dog out

Let the dog in:

My Emma gets a bath about once a week. She doesnt really care for it much but I'm hoping she learns to enjoy it a little more. We bathe in the kitchen sink with no running water. We fill one side with her clean warm bath water and put her in the other and use a plastic cup to dip and pour water. She tries to eat the water if you spray her. She turns to a Rottweiler. The groomer put "Tiger" on her card because she makes them laugh barking at the sprayer. And she would much rather run and dry herself than to be dried with a blow dryer. She's hilarious but even with all her antics it just doesnt take more than 5 minutes to bathe her.

Meeko gets a bath once a week. When I first got him he'd tried to jump out a lot or put his 2 front paw on the edge and there'd be a huge puddle after. So I started sitting on the edge of the tub with my feet in and he was a little better but, stilled tried and there was still a puddle. Then i read a poster than said she brought her baby in the shower with her, so I tried it and it works great. I shampoo him, and then my hair. Rinse him, and rinse mine. While I'm shampooing or rinsing my hair, I tell him to sit and he sits and waits. It's 110% better. Washing him is so easy now! He actually got a bath today. I turned the water on and went into my room to grab my towel and he had already jumped in the tub. lol He still doesn't like water on face. So I have to be real quick when I rinse his face.
